Alert The Medic - We, The Weapon
By Ryan Conway
(09/30/09)

ALERT THE MEDIC - We, The Weapon We, The Weapon by Halifax natives Alert The Medic is fast-paced, heavy-hitting fun. With many memorable hooks that you would find in any hit pop song, with the exception that the lyrics are good. Very good.

Songs like Aid the Getaway, Hey Kid, to the Back to of the Line, and Stealing Scenery are fine examples of how to use repetition to captivate the listener. The verses of these songs can be so catchy you may find yourself doing plenty of toe-tapping or possibly even singing along. Even if you are in an office setting. Not that I have ever done that.

They can perform more light-hearted fare very well. But can Alert The Medic make a believable enough transition into tracks with a more serious tone? Yes. They can. Alert The Medic have a pretty decent flare for the dramatic.

"The Weatherman Pt. 2", for example, is well-executed. The piano used on the track really helps to build the song's dramatic atmosphere. The guitar shreds are a nice touch as well, giving the song some extra power.

Lead singer Ryan MacDonald, delivers a soild vocal performace throughout the album. His versitile vocal range only makes the songs all the more memorable. The shredding skills of guitarist Troy Arseneault also prove to be noteworthy as they provide the album with a little extra hard-hitting edge.

We, The Weapon is very solid overall. A good and very fun listen.
