Weight of the World

by Nural

Overview

Nural takes an "everything but the kitchen sink" approach to The Weight of the World, resulting in an album that's an unfortunate collision of post-grunge, emo, classic rock balladry, and nu-metal. Imagine a world where Chris Carrabba might collaborate with Fred Durst and you've got "Tension," just the first of several sonic blunders here. Long on melody, Kyle Castellani has a decent enough range and the group is talented, but the band's tepid Christian rock perspective lacks an edge as preachy numbers like "The Root of All Evil" and guidance-seekers like the piano-fed "Forgive Me" and the acoustic "Enlighten Me" take hold. One can appreciate Nural's attempt to be all things to all people, but most often, they just sound uninspired. ~ John D. Luerssen
