Russell Allen

Atomic Soul (InsideOut)
by Scott Hefflon

Funny, there are two telltale words here: “Atomic” from the title, and from song three, “Voodoo.” Anything using the words atomic or voodoo is cheesy and should be avoided. Russell Allen is or was the singer for Symphony X. He has a great voice, sure, but he’s about as hip as my dad. Couple parting shots: Song six is called “Seasons of Insanity” and nine is “Saucey Jack.” Really, if the song titles are this bad, you sure you wanna hear the music?
