THE TOADS review: "Anymore" by Seneki A flowing bassline and rimshot rhythm accompany the haunting ethereal vocal line from the start until the entry of the muscular guitar chords which encourage the drums into action. At around 2m20 the guitar urges change and promises much, although this is a false dawn, leading back into more of the same until the 3m50 mark where the feel changes again, becoming more reflective and questioning with some excellent guitar layering leading into a short hint of solo. The performance all round in this track is faultless, the rhythm section is tight and punchy and the guitar playing very good. If anything more should be made of this. Arguably, Seneki's key attribute is the excellent and distinctive voice of their singer, however, the beauty and haunting nature of his voice is lost a little due to it being used constantly for the duration of the track. In it's current form the track becomes a little "samey" and could use more contrast. The length is ok, but perhaps more instrumental breaks would help the listener to really appreciate the voice when it appears? I enjoyed Seneki's distinctive sound and the hint of Led Zeppelin and especially, Fish era Marillion in their music with the additional harder edge. A little focus on the song structure to achieve greater contrast is needed to really hold the listener's attention. Seneki have what it takes to be one of the greats. - thetoads 03/06/08

YEAH... GOOD WORK all round but i agree with last comment... great vocals, great musos... it seems a little disjointed though between the two... vocals to match the instuments or equally vice - versa.... still great stuff though.. - guest 02/03/06

I absolutely [i]Luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurve[/i] the instrumental in this; it is son incredibly awesome! The vocals are good; your singer has a lot of potential, it is just a matter of finding the right way to channel it. He does a good job in this song, the lyrics are great. The only thing that I didn't particularly like was the vox melody. From what I could tell it was the exact same vocal riff all the way through. And at some points the melody just sounded out of key with the instrumental melody. It was just really distracting for me and I couldn't get into it. - admin 09/28/05
