The Chris Ruben Band’s Stomach Coil is an effort that blends together 1980s and 1990s rock with a more musically complex, progressive meets jam-band approach. The band utilizes an approach which ensures that all parts (bass, guitar, drums, and the aforementioned vocals) are able to shine. What results then with Stomach Coil is a track that fans will need to strap a pair of headphones on for; there are so many hidden and hard-to-find elements that will have one continually finding something new even 10 or 15 plays in. The sizzling guitar work that takes over at the 2:25 mark is world-class, providing a boost to the momentum of Stomach Coil as the band begins to wind things to a close.
