Broken Reunion by 4-4-1

4-4-1 was one of many bands that re-united for a one night concert event in 2005. I’ve heard rumors of DVDs and other live recordings from this show, but so far, this is the only show to officially surface from that night. This disc makes me wish that other recordings would get released soon.

These are not has-been musicians trying to cash in on resurging trend. I say that not because there is nothing resurging at the moment, but because the guys in 4-4-1 show they still have what it takes to put on a great live show. The recording quality is also great here. Four each songs from 4-4-1’s first two albums are featured here. If they played anything from Sacrifice that night, it was left off of the recording.

The big bonus for this album is the inclusion of two newly recorded songs: “Inside Me” and “Rain Fall Down.” Both were recorded in California with Jason Martin. The 4-4-1 website describes these songs the best: “Inside Me” is a harder edge rock song, while “Rain Fall Down” is more of a classic 4-4-1 sound.

This album has been out for a while, but if you haven’t gotten it already, go to the band’s website and pick up a copy.
