JR EWING, for the better part of their career, were a sweaty mix of The Blood Brothers sass and Kaospilot heaviness. The European driven sound was straight outta Norway during their prime from 2000-2002 that shifted with the release of 'Ride Paranoia' and deviated further when 'Maelstrom' dropped in 2005. The former sound was heavier and rooted in Orchid and Refused (with the very early stuff being reminiscent of sludgy, metallic hardcore like Iscariote), while the latter shifted towards post-hardcore and accessible rock that I truly don't believe was fitting for the band. The vocals in particular were stronger on previous releases with screaming or talking, and the singing isn't hashed out enough to make a positive impact, so instead they detract from the experience making the final JR EWING album released a dud and probably not worth your time. But those early albums, 'Calling in Dead', 'The Perfect Drama' and 'Ride Paranoia', hoooo boy, they are 100% in need of your ears.
