Album Notes Nonpoint: Elias Soriano (vocals); Andrew Goldman (guitar); KB (bass instrument); Robb Rivera (drums). Recording information: Bieler Bros. Studios, Pompano Beach, Florida (2004). Nonpoint's third major-label album, RECOIL, is the end product of the time the band has spent touring with the likes of Linkin Park and Staind, and of the concentrated effort of a year's creative energy. It's a quantum leap forward from the group's prior effort, DEVELOPMENT, itself a radical improvement on previous work. Nonpoint has sharpened its blistering guitar and percussion attack with thoughtful, sharp songs that range from the vengeful ("Broken Bones") to the rousing sonic call to arms of "Move Now." And while the words of "The Truth" may seem like a confession of political helplessness in the face of backroom corruption, the sledgehammer guitar assault suggests a full-frontal offensive against it. The Spanish lyrics to "Rabia" are a confident declaration of Nonpoint's roots, with the group sounding rhythmically rabble-rousing against singer Elias Soriano's impassioned vocals. And, for good measure, there's an assured reworking of Phil Collins's "In the Air Tonight," complete with thundering tribal percussion, cheekily incorporating the famous drum fill and convincingly approximating a breathy, paranoid version of Collins's vocal.
