Flotsam & Jetsam are beginning to sound a little tired on
Drift, their fifth album. Nearly a decade after their debut, the band still sounds tight and their musical skills are quite impressive. Nevertheless, there is a distinct lack of new ideas. That in itself wouldn't be so bad but they haven't fashioned strong songs out of their trademark formula, which makes
Drift interesting only to the band's most dedicated fans. ~ David Jehnzen
