Slow Roosevelt - Weightless (2001) Rock/Metal Review
Slow Roosevelt are a criminally underrated band! They are just as good if not better than popular bands like Disturbed and Drowning Pool (who came from the same area apparently.) Yet despite being around during the same time period, they are virtually unknown. In fact, the only reason I know of this rare and obscure band is the anime Dragon Ball Z movie Broly: The Legendary Super Saiyan (2004), which also introduced me to Haji's Kitchen and Pantera. https://www.discogs.com/master/763454-Slow-Roosevelt-Weightless?image=15598708.SW1hZ2U6NzMyMjExMTU%3D Peter Thomas has some of the sickest vocals of any singer from the era. He can croon like a more mainstream artist but do metalesque screams similar to Mark Hunter of Chimaira, another band with a fantastic vocalist. Heavy, dark, emotional, catchy. Weightless is the perfect early 2000's hard rock album. This should have been blasting out of radios nationwide, it should have been featured in more movie and video game soundtracks...
