Caroline Beavon – Kerrang Radio

Ok ... this is one of those albums that makes you rethink the type of music you are into. Me, it's usually dirty rock and heavy metal - but something in me has really fallen for The Unknownn. Ok, so I won't be binning all my metal just yet - but this cd hasn't been off my stereo for 2 days now and I'm not quite sure when, or even if, I am going to want to stop listening to it.

I'm not sure if it's the beautiful, ethereal vocals, the vibe that reminds me so much of Portishead ... or the cracking guitars that kick in and swipe you round the head before you know what is happening (track 3, Raw .. for example - if you don't get goose-bumps 3 minutes into it, check you are still breathing).

Whichever the reason - this is one of those albums that, if there is any justice in the world, should take The Unknownn a long way ... I only hope the rest of the world is ready.
