Hallows Eve - The Neverending Sleep (2008)^{Release ID: 11496}

Whoa, as much as I hate having to give such a low rating, this is a MAJOR disappointment. After the abomination Tommy Stewart recorded several years back, I was extremely pleased to hear about the return of Stacey Anderson. The soundbytes posted on the band's myspace page showed great promise but alas, it turns out that those tracks are the only ones worth hearing from this terribly produced effort. The album sounds more like a demo than a finished product and the majority of songs are sluggish and leaden. Without even trace hooks to keep the arrangements aloft, the album flounders almost from start to finish. Let's hope Hallows Eve will eventually deliver the goods they are capable of delivering. This however, is subpar.
