EW's GRADE

C+

Details Release Date: Nov 11, 2008; Lead Performance: The Bronx; Genre: Rock

Frustrating bunch, the Bronx. The confusion implied by their name (they hail from L.A.) is further embodied in their music, a mix of sloppy thrash and heavy-bottomed boogie (imagine Anthrax partying with the Cult). Problem is, these fellas thud as often as they swing, and III veers from the near-transcendent (''Pleasure Seekers'') to the pedestrian (''Digital Leash''). Several songs will get your blood pumping; the rest will let you practice your Bronx cheer. C+
