Análisis :
New Jersey {\nu-metal} quintet {$40 Below Summer} yields solid results by fusing aggression and allure on {^The Mourning After}, its second long-player. The band had worked with veteran {\hard rock} producer {$GGGarth Richardson} for its 2001 debut, {^Invitation to the Dance}, but -- in a curious move -- opted to align with {$Vertical Horizon} overseer {$David Bendeth} here. And while the band's forceful attack still won't land it in the {\pop} survey, {$Bendeth}'s input does manage to give the band a foot up on other {\alternative metal} acts in the run for airplay in the "active {\rock}" format. {&"Self Medicate,"} the band's breakout hit, careens from brutality to affability, due largely in part to the amazing vocal range of {$Max Illidge}, who turns from Drano-gargle utterances to soaring melodies on a dime. {&"Taxi Cab Confession"} works this same dichotomy, also with likable consequences. Far more puzzling is {&"Breathless,"} which finds the outfit capably shifting into {\pop} {\ballad} mode à la {$Creed}. That momentary lapse in direction is soon corrected, however, and as {^The Mourning After} unfolds, tracks like the cathartic {&"F.E."} and the spooky {&"A Season in Hell"} right the wrongs for {$40 Below Summer}'s ballooning headbanger clientele. [A Japanese version added a bonus track.] ~ John D. Luerssen, All Music Guide
