Somehow I managed to post this review when I wasn’t even nearly finished with it. I could blame that on a lot of different things, but it’s frankly just one of those “oops” moments. Here’s the other thing. You see I am working on what must be my third draft of this review. Why? Well, usually I’ll just review an album and write down whatever comes to mind, touch it up and ship it on out. With “The Eagle” I second guessed myself and felt like I needed to hear it again to see if my feelings had changed. Now, I’ll say that even though I like to think that I’m somewhat/kind of knowledgeable when it comes to Ohio’s rock and heavy metal scene it never fails that I miss out on some supposedly well-known/well-traveled band like The Unclean. Bands like this simply escape my radar. “No Excuse Necessary”, the self-released debut album from The Unclean, was released back in the fall of 2008 so you’d think that in four year’s time I’d have heard of this rock group right? Part of the problem is that there are just too many bands in Ohio to keep track of and the other problem (which really isn’t a problem as it’s what I fought for) is that, being a single father and all, I don’t get the chance to go to as many live shows as I’d like to anymore. I’m just not up to date anymore when it comes to my own state’s”name” bands. And The Unclean, as it turns out, have come to be known as one of Ohio’s better live acts! Of course I found all of this out AFTER I listened to the band’s sophomore release (as it’s better to listen to promos without any preconceived notions). We’ll come back to the “live” aspect of this band in a little bit. For now, before I even touch of  what works and doesn’t work on “The Eagle” (and why it has taken me over an hour and a half to do this review), I should introduce the member’s of this part-time band. The Unclean features guitarist/vocalist Bremmy (ex-Sofa King Killer, Honkeytonk Damnation), bassist Burns (ex-Rue, Nailblack, Fistula, Sofa King Killer) and drummer Frank The Tank (ex- Search Block)
