In the early 90s, they were one of the most important bands of the crossover-boom: a quartet from Brooklyn that with its '93-debut, "River Runs Red" released a true classic mixing Hardcore with metal and a healthy portion of melodies so that they were everybody's word of mouth until 1997. Then, singer Keith Caputo decided to go for a solo career that nobody really needed. And with Whitfield Crane (Ugly Kid Joe), the band could never stick up to the old days. Now, after a long time split, the reformed LOA release their comeback album that outlives even the most optimistic expectations. "Broken Valley" sounds like from the heydays of Grunge (Alice In Chains, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots) - anthemnic rock songs with elements of Punkrock, Doom, Emo and classic 70s hard rock. LOA put fat guitars and blasting drums beside euphoric vocals and a Bowie piano. And if we wouldn't know better that this is a new album you could think you'd be listening to "Badmotorfinger", "Jar Of Flies" or "Core". Great! (Marcel Anders - April 2005)
