It's really unfortunate that Travis Meeks' "big ego" prevented the original line-up of Days of the New from lasting beyond their self-titled debut, however, in some regards it's a positives since the other members later went on to form Tantric....
Yes, Days of the New could be deemed as "posers" (along with a few other bands) of Alice-in-Chains, but the songs on this album are crafted impressively considering the fact that Meeks was merely 17 at the time of the recording....
This album always brings back memories of '97, especially "Shelf In The Room" and "Touch, Peel, and Stand", and "The Downtown" which everyone may remember that all three respectively received lots of air-play...."Where I Stand" and "Cling" also rank-up with the standards they reached with the aforementioned three songs.... I always wonder if what would have happened if they remained together, especially since it seems Meeks has gone adrift since this album.... If noone has ever listened to this, they must since its solid all-around....
, that singer has a powerful voice and range.
