With their roots firmly placed in hardcore punk, the German-based quintet of Thumb got together in 1993.
Though they may have evolved independently, there’s no question that Thumb falls into the Papa Roach/Linkin Park/Incubus bracket. Fans of these bands are advised to pick up 3 immediately, as it has enough extended mosh grooves and first-person raps about feelings to please any rap-metal devotee. The less initiated may pick up on Thumb’s successful injections of melody, which work to set the group apart from the rest of the pack. When used wisely — as an effective foil against a rudimentary riff on “Lie to You” or as the structural basis of “Down Like Me” — melodic injections help Thumb reach their most evocative states.
