From Iceland — Envy of Nona - Two Years Birth

Published March 8, 2007

There’s some fair songcraft on this very adolescent debut release from the Reykjavík fivesome, but boy, does it drag on forever. Still, despite being cliché-ridden and unoriginal to say the very least, it doesn’t try to be anything other than what it is: five guys playing guitars and rockin’ out. The production is adequate, and the very competent instrumentation more than makes up for the singer’s nasal whine. SE
