Keith Caputo has been making music forever and this is his greatest project yet. Though Died Laughing, and Hearts blood on your Dawn are very good Hometown Scars is a cut above anything else.
This album has it all. When you hear the song Crawl (its the first song) you will be sucked into the Cd.
And it stays great throughout the whole thing other then a waste of time instrumental at the end.
He has 2 heavier songs on here which is a great throwback to his Life of Agony Roots and the rest is just beautiful music to put it plain and simple.
The album opens with “Crawling” and that’s exactly what this album does, except not really so on that first track which takes a little too long before it gets underway.
During its finest moments however, it crawls under your skin with haunting melodies and Keith’s soft voice. Tracks like “In December” or “Got Monsters” are easily some of his best work yet.
But Caputo can’t leave the rocking completely behind him and so he bursts out in some good old-fashioned rock n roll with “Troubles Down” and “Devils Pride” proving that he would make an excellent replacement for Scott Weiland in Velvet Revolver.
While the track listing may feel a little awkward at times with those two barnburners thrown in there and while not every song is worth remembering, this is still a damn good album from a guy that is not only blessed with a beautiful voice but also with some solid songwriting skills.
