 Once NothingFirst Came the Law Release Date 2007 01 15 Label EMI CMG Rating:  Pittsburgh's Once Nothing describe themselves as "blue-collar metal," but in fact, the group blends post-hardcore and alternative CCM with their metal for a sound that's fairly far removed from the Bon Jovi vibe one might expect from that self-definition. In fact, the hardcore strain is the strongest in these 12 songs, with only the semi-acoustic power ballad &"My Sweet Medusa" and the album-ending instrumental &"And Then Came Grace" moving away from the blastbeat drumming and unison riffage one expects from the style. Lyrically, the band tends to the aggressive and mildly reactionary, as titles like &"Gunfire Is the Sound of Freedom" and &"All My Heroes Are Cowboys" attest. Almost by definition, listeners have to be fans of at least two of the three main elements of the album -- metal, hardcore and CCM -- to get behind First Came the Law, and only those who hit the trifecta will really love it.
