Press Reviews Finally. Those longing for more modern muscle rock in the vein of Soundgarden, recent Metallica, Tool, Silverchair, and Creed have a new albumworthy of their attention...Rock-solid drumming, growling bass, and double-barrelled distortion fill the speakers with the maturity of a band that's been at it for years. Pop sensibilities are there under the surface, but the mission of Torn is to crank. Solitude is a noisygroove-monster catharsis, fueled by Carter's songs of sorrow and seeking. What takes Torn to the top level of its genre is Carter's possession of one of those metal-grunge voices quaking over with power and emotion.He's good. Sure, it's been done already, but there's something about those lung-powered sorrow-tinged vocals that makes grunge continue to hit achord with millions of people.The Phantom Tollbooth
