After four years of living in Los Angeles, it`s no surprise that Sick Puppies sound more American than ever on TRI-POLAR. The Australian band always drew on U.S. angst rock for its influences, though, and that`s even more obvious here than before, with plenty of Alice in Chains and Stabbing Westward influences apparent. "So What I Lied" has a guitar riff in the midsection typical of Tool, and in "White Balloons" singer Shimon Moore briefly adopts the stop-start cadence of Maynard Keenan. "Don`t Walk Away" is a very typical example of the "I know I was wrong" genre that even includes a heartfelt moan of..."I know I was wrong." The downtrodden revenge fantasy "Master of the Universe" has a quirky slap bass intro and a sitar layered into the guitar solo; it`s the album`s highlight.
