Another band, another album, from The Goodwill Collection...
The Hunger is a band from Houston, Texas, formed by two brothers Jeff and Thomas Wilson. Their music is Hard
Rock/Industrial Rock. Since their beginning in 1991, they have released a total of eight albums. Their recent album was
released in 2023. Their fourth album, Cinematic Superthug was released in 1998.
"Free" kicks off the album, and it is a straight Hard Rock track. It actually has a good sound, and easily
fits the Industrial and Alternative Rock formats. The title track "Cinematic superthug" is high energy, Hard
Rock/Alternative. "Ray" has the '90s Grunge, likewise, it fits the Alternative Rock format. "Closer To Me"
has great hooks, and could easily be a hit single on Alternative/Mainstream formats. "Moderation" has a different
sound to that of Hard Rock/Alternative - Reggae maybe? It does have it's hard rock effects. It's quite an interesting
track, in comparing to the hard rock sound heard earlier in the album. "Phoenix" returns to the hard rock,
guitars driven Rock. Hard Rock/Punk maybe? with the vocals. Yet, it is another good Rock track.
"Hey God" has the potentional of another hit single. It can fit most of the Rock/Alternative/Mainstream.
"Whore" has the guitars in full force, as this song has a slight U2 comparision. "Sunk So Low" continues
the loud, guitar-driven Hard Rock approach. More of the guitar-driven Rock on "One Way Or Another," with light
vocal sounds, yet kicking into guitar-driven gear, where needed. "One Constant" fits more for Rock formats, along
with it's common Alternative/Hard Rock styles. "Anarchy" gets the comparison to Stone Temple Pilots. "Going
Down" ends the album, it's intro has a mystery sound to it, and yes, it kicks into another good Hard Rock/Alternative
groove.
The Hunger's Cinematic Superthug has all the ingredients of a good Rock album. Easily fitting the genres of
Rock, Hard Rock, Industrial, Grunge, Alternative, Mainstream. The guitars are definitely the standout instruments
throughout the album. Hard Rock at its finest in all accounts, it will entertain the fans of this genre. Check it out.
Discovering bands that you may not of heard of, from the Goodwill stores, has always been a treat. The Hunger is no
exception - Cinematic Superthug is a very good Rock album, and it will be enjoyed by those who enjoy guitar-driven
Rock.
