Said And Done - Weight Of The World

posted by: David on 26 March 2010

As always, Said And Done sounds just a little different on this new 7� compared to their previous work. Vocally it seems like Pim has taken the John Joseph and Jonah Jenkins style and made his own version of it. Musically there�s a bit more going on than just plain old hardcore on this release. A bit of metal, a lot of groove, plenty of melody and just a pinch of post-hardcore are added to the NYHC that the band already played. Think of bands like Only Living Witness, Fahrenheit 451 and Maximum Penalty. Especially the track �Fit The Mold� (shouldn�t that be �mould�, by the way?) is different than the older stuff. Said And Done keeps on expanding their sound and I think that�s a good thing. Closing track �Burning� is a typical song for all you Cro Mags lovers out there. I wonder if the title track �Weight Of The World� and especially the line �Don�t try to carry the weight of the world� was inspired by the label that released this 7�. After all, it�s called Carry The Weight. The lyrics of these four songs are very easy to relate to, by the way. I�m sure you all have felt the same at one time or another. I also like the artwork of this release: a drawing of Atlas with the weight of the world on his shoulders. All in all Said And Done created a very cool release and I�m sure you�ll enjoy it. Check it out!
