Album Review: My Own Reflection by DFour Sixty
Alright, let’s talk about My Own Reflection, the 2015 rock gem from Spain’s own DFour Sixty. Released under the Not On Label banner, this album feels like a raw, unfiltered dive into the band’s soul. It’s not perfect, but hey, that’s kind of the charm. If you’re into rock with an edge—and I mean the kind that makes you wanna crank up the volume and forget your problems for a bit—this one’s worth a spin.
Now, let me break it down for ya. The album kicks off with “At The Edge,” and honestly? This track grabs you by the collar and doesn’t let go. It starts with this gritty guitar riff that feels like it’s straight outta a midnight street fight. The vocals are raw, almost like they’re screaming at you to pay attention, and the energy? Damn. You can feel it in your bones. It’s one of those songs that sticks with you because it just gets it—you know, that feeling of standing on the edge of something big and scary, but kinda thrilling too.
Then there’s “Mirrors.” Man, this one hits different. It’s slower, moodier, and packed with emotion. The lyrics really stood out to me—like, they’re all about self-reflection and inner battles, which is fitting given the album’s title. There’s this haunting melody running through it, and when the chorus kicks in, it’s like a punch to the gut (but in a good way). It’s the kind of song that makes you stare out the window and think deep thoughts, even if you didn’t plan to.
The rest of the tracks, like “Fading Agony” and “Blank Mind,” keep the vibe going strong. They’ve got that same mix of grit and heart, though nothing quite tops “At The Edge” or “Mirrors” for me. Oh, and shoutout to “Interlude”—it’s short, sure, but it adds this cool atmospheric break before diving back into the chaos.
What’s wild about My Own Reflection is how honest it feels. You can tell these guys weren’t chasing trends or trying to sound like anyone else. They just made music that mattered to them, and that sincerity shines through every track.
So, here’s the thing—I wasn’t expecting much when I first hit play, but by the end, I was hooked. It’s not gonna be everyone’s cup of tea, and yeah, some parts could use a bit more polish, but isn’t that what makes rock so great? It’s messy, real, and unapologetically human.
Final thought? Listening to this album felt like finding a hidden treasure in a thrift store. You don’t see it coming, but once you do, you can’t imagine life without it. Now, if only they’d drop another album soon…
