Amazon Review

If there's one thing that Meltdown proves, it's that young people just don't know how to rock. Because Ash, having spent the better part of their formative years in the music industry, have finally matured into a proper rock band. Leaving behind the power-pop leanings of their previous albums, frontman Tim Wheeler and his bandmates crank it up to 11 right from the opening riffs of the title track.

Evil Eye - Is calmer but with deep lyrics
Clones - The heaviest song ash have ever done possibly the best on the album
Starcrossed -... Read full review »

Pleasantly suprised!!!!!

I have never been a fan of Ash, i have always thought that Tim Wheeler could at best be described as a medioacre vocalist and that their music was, well RUBBISH!!
So imagine my suprise when i heard a demo of this album an actually liked it. Tim Wheeler will never be on a par with the rock god vocalists of yesteryear, but his whinny, nasal some would say original approach someh... Read full review »
