Tenerini, Jonhatan: Noisy Shadows

Drummer/Composer Jonhatan Tenerini has released an album titled after his project Noisy Shadows which also released an album back in May. I am definitely drawn to the heavier songs like the title track, and “Barbero� has good punch, but comes off a bit too polished. You get a good mix of guitar and keyboards throughout, and as you’d expect, Tenerini is very present in the mix. “End of the Line� starts with a cool synth line, and a good heavy riff that begs for a ripping guitar solo, but fails to deliver one, a missed opportunity if you ask me. For me, they saved the best for last as “4P.I.E.� is the hidden gem. Guitarist Francesco Gracci displays some searing guitar work and the band is at their fiery best. I want more of what I am hearing, but this is the end of the thirty-eight minute journey.

Overall, you get excellent musicianship, and Tenerini is a powerful drummer. Noisy Shadows has stellar moments, but for some reason it feels like it falls a bit short. After hearing an album once or twice, there should be something that tells me it is really something special. Unfortunately, I don’t think there are enough of them to draw me back for continued listens.
