Grey Daze - "What's In the Eye?"

What's in the eye that I cannot catch? Is it me? I want to know why it's so hard to let go.

Rating: 5/10

Even if you have never heard of the band before, you may recognize the vocals. Before Chester Bennington joined Linkin Park in 1999, he and friend Sean Dowdell formed the post-grunge band Grey Daze. Although they hardly lasted five years, their music was not bad. Their first album, Wake Me, came out in 1994 with "What's In the Eye" being the first track. The song has a good beat and soothing music to go along with the verses until it builds up to the harder chorus. It gets a little redundant and can seem boring at times, but (and I suppose I am a bit biased) the vocals in the song are amazing. Chester has a fantastic voice with the ability to sound beautiful on softer parts and equally great on rougher parts with more harsh vocals. Some of the chorus seems a little difficult to decipher, but one does not hear many voices more skilled than that of Chester Bennington, even in his grunge days.
