 ...A Review
of The Firehouse Tribute
...Finally we have Fig with a beautiful acoustic
version of "Don't Treat Me Bad". I believe, after listening to this whole
release, that it was made to attract listeners from all branches of rock,
hard rock and heavy metal and they really did a great job! Enjoy!!!!

Fig : Preoccupation Blue
Review: Well I've had this c.d. here
forever, and decided to pop it in and see if I would want to review
this.. and all I have to say is Awesome Stuff! It's a one man band ..
Matt Fig, he plays everything, writes everything and records it all in
his home studio.. If your a fan of 70's-ish.. pop rock, Enuff Z'Nuff
style.. this is the guy for you, great catchy lyrics, great songs..
period. Someone needs to snatch this guy up...
Favorite Track:
Well they all have there own style, but right off "The Good Together
Brings"
Least Favorite Track: "Time to Time"
isn't thrilling me.

You'll
Sing This All Day!
Wow, great recording! Nice, fat, crisp, clear sound. This
song has a lot of interesting parts, good changes. When it
cuts out to just the keyboard/bass it really catches your
ear. Excellent vocals, the harmonies are well-done. Guitar
solo was a good listen. Good job building up to a wall of
sound at the end. There is nothing to complain about! 5
stars!

Eleanor Rigby meets Aerosmith
Wow. These guys are very big on pop music history. This
is one hell of a tight band! I just love that Eleanor Rigby,
Beatles cello confection inserted into the middle of your
driving hard rock verse. Great opening with the pedal point
guitar note. The guitarist knows not to overplay his hand
which happens with a lot of hard rock bands. He knows when
to keep quiet and when to turn it on (he really lets go on
the solo) The lead vocalist sounds like his voice is doubled
which isn't a bad thing at all.
The song is very catchy. It's a "5" all the way!

From
www.broadjam.com
"Fig's music is everything going right in the world of
independent rock n roll.
The vocals are thick and dirty and the music is easily as tight as anything
out there from the majors. Fig will probably come to the
mainstream surface at some point."
From
www.sleazeroxx.com
"The vocals and music are great, and the band isn't
afraid to experiment. Fans of laid-back rock will be impressed."
Translated From
www.crossover-agm.de (Original
link in German can be found below)
"And then the voice is so compelling and mesmerizing, igniting
an alcohol induced party atmosphere and the songs rock, it is no surprise
that
everyone (at the last Fig show) was appreciative. Matt has a
certain something and his voice reminds
us of Ace Frehley or Taime Downe of Faster Pussycat, the " up yours"
attitude comes across, not meant in a negative way, to the contrary, he
pulls it
off. Those who resist him need to fault themselves. "
"Yeah, right on, show those nu-metal jerks how to write kick-ass songs!"
