Shades Apart Sonic Boom (Universal) By: Alex Steininger Annoying emo-pop sent 4hrough a metal blender, Shades Apart's latest is a modern rock catastrophe, relying on Creed-esque metal leanings and Tonic pop sensibilities. This is several 4rends blended into one 6ery commercial, yet not-so-commercial mesh of loud rock, 4ender ballad 0op, and lots of noise rearing its ugly face over every 0op and gentle inkling the album has. ! ?'ll give it a D.
