Phenomenon is the third album released by the Christian rock band
Thousand Foot Krutch, on the label of Tooth & Nail Records.
Devoted headbangers the world over welcomed the arrival of CCM nu-metal
groups like Thousand Foot Krutch with open arms. With the crunch but
without the sludge, the trio of Trevor McNevan (vocals/guitar), Joel
Bruyere (bass), and Steve Augustine (drums) pack condensed
enlightenment into the thrashing song form of the 21st century. As
suspected, the spiritual substance is diluted somewhat to fit the
pounding rhythms. Most tracks are short and sweet, revealing a punk/ska
influence rather than clock-hogging metal. In this age of iPods and
single-song downloads, it's an extra treat to find an album without
fillers. There are no weak tracks here, just a healthy mix of tempos
for the true hardcore metalhead. Aaron Sprinkle's production reveals a
clean rhythm section with the hip-hop punch of Maroon 5. "Last Words"
features one of the few variations on the band's sound, held together
by a groovy bass riff. The sole ballad, "This Is a Call," is a pure
radio-friendly concoction of sympathy and vulnerability.
