Silence, another album that starts out with pretty much silence. About 40 seconds of it before a guitar kicks in. Why do people find this necessary? In this day and age we need to do without that. Both that and those big spaces before bonus tracks on CDs. Just get to the point. Anyway, enough venting. Last Supper was formed from students who attended the University of Western Ontario. They have been around for a while with their first album being released in 1996. "Lifeline" followed that one up. When it comes down to the music on Last Supper it is actually pretty decent. The band works toward a hard rock sound similar to something you might hear on rock radio right now. The album starts out with the hard-driving "FCT" that has a really cool groove going on it. It would be a good choice if the Last Supper were to pick a single off of Served. The band even utilizes a few little string sections in the vein of Tea Party on a couple of songs. When they get going, Last Supper gets the energy of Collective Soul. I think a little more refinement in their sound should get them onto a major label. They have the sound that will sell and stray just a little enough off of the beaten trail to gain attention. I swear I've heard "Taxed Out" before. Oh, and I get to the end of the CD and I'm treated with exactly what I mentioned at the beginning of this review, almost 4 minutes of silence, and for what? A bit of feedback at the tail end. Grrr. -.5 for that alone. The album art sucks too.
