Is this a lost recording from 1982? Now, it truly sounds that way but this album is recorded in 2010. Careless is a progressive heavy metal trio featuring James Collins - Drums/Vocals, Walt Kosar - Guitar and Nolan Ayres - Bass. They are influenced by the NWOBHM era but also 70´s prog, the production ain´t exactly big budget but at least it´s live sounding and they are great musicians. They make instrumental solos sound interesting, just listen to the jazzy bass solo of "Between the mayhem" or the drum solo vs a sequencer in the cool "5ive". The opener "Curtains" bring thoughts to early Rush while the major part of the album will appeal to fans of albums like Shiva - Firedance (1981), Iron Maiden - Killers (1981) and Queensryche EP (1982).
"The Verve" lost all the money from their hit song "Bitter Sweet Symphony" after it was shown that they were using a sample of the Rolling Stone "The Last Time."
