Tastes Like Rock Magazine

Vespers Nine delivers a decent mix of hard rock, energetic rock, and ballads. The ten song album does dive into the ballad side of the pool pretty heavy, complete with a better than the original cover of Mister Mister's "Broken Wings", though even their ballads retain an energy and drive in the music not seen in ballads anymore. Instruments and vocals are solid, and for only having formed almost three years ago, the five members have crafted a team sound that leads listeners to think they have been together for much longer. Something to be admired where more and more bands that have been together for a decade or more perpetually sound like they got together a week ago, even with the current state of the music business apathy is something that should be courted. Vespers Nine presents a unified sound that shows how hard they practice and hone their skill as a unit.
