Post Commenti was going to read the review, but the reviewer had to let everyone know his opinion about dragonforce in the first sentence. no thanks, what a dumbass.
this band is f*cking terrible live. they are a bunch of bedroom shredders that dont know how to play in a band.
a poor mans Alaska? no f*cking thanks. Alaska was a poor man BTBAM already.
Shit band, can't believe that this got a 7 whereas BTBAM's "the silent circus" got a 5. didn't you say they're basically ripoffs of BTBAM? where's the continuity in that?
"Shit band, can't believe that this got a 7 whereas BTBAM's "the silent circus" got a 5. didn't you say they're basically ripoffs of BTBAM? where's the continuity in that?" I clearly said it was a fake version of Alaska, not The Silent Circus. Alaska got an 8 (for me, about an 8.5). At least read the review before you get all whiney about it.
Great Band, and Great Album, I would give it an 8, bedroom shredders is the funniest thing I've ever heard, these guys outshred BTBAM's face off. Hell these dual shredders in this band outshred necrophagist... Seen em live and they definitely pull everything off flawlessly, and are more energetic then BTBAM by far. BTBAM just stand still the whole time and never move, which is cool, but in no way are they a better live band in my opinion.. TTFN
this cd is amazing, best one of the year so far. BTBAM knockoff i think not, they are just influenced, Alaska and Nocture are two of the best albums released in a while. Great songwriting, emotion, passion and technicality wrapped into a whole? sign me the f*ck up
A great CD. Some songs are hit or miss, but a really strong debut. Good live band.
outshred necrophagist? bah. plus the vocalist from necrophagist gets exta points for playing lead and growling all at once like a beast,
this album blows c-ck I don't even need to listen to it to know it sucks.
I would have to agree this band is shredtastic. Most people are turned off by the vocals, these same people would probably love this exact album if you put a shitty cookie monster on there instead.. I don't know if they outshred necrophagist, but they are pretty damn close upon further listening, there's shred all over the place you don't notice the first couple times through.
Jesper speaks the truth, I didn't even realize half the shred until I saw them live.
*plays guitar warm-up exercises over blast-beats, causing kids who think Bane is technical to suck my c-ck
seriously good instrumantation but the song structure was a little week. tho i wil be followin and am looking forward to the next release
IMHO, they don't outshred Necrophagist -that guitarist is something of a prodigy, who's vocals are terrible, and if you sing-a-long to that filler crap you're an idiot. This band has a superb lead guitarist, a very good rhythm guitarist and drummer, an above-average vocalist, and a somewhat lousy bassist. Not the best songwriting, lots of guitar glitter here, which inevitably compromises well-written songs, but these dudes are 20 and 21 -excluding vocalist- a very young, developing band (!) and
Why do all of you dumbf*cks say Crossing the Rubicon is the standout track of this album? Scandy, you're a pssy and I bet you didn't listen to this more than once. Mea Culpa is the best track by far as it shows what this band is really about: shred. It's probably one of the more recent songs they wrote before recording. Their next album should be very good. Just wait and see if I'm wrong.
i heard this shit last night and i think i vomited on my cat. "shred" i think not, i heard some sweeps but thats about it.
what a dumbass; AJ would shred you, your cat and your filthy mattress to pieces.
It seems that the only one in this little review that is obsessed with our good friends in Between The Buried And Me is the reviewer. I've never actually heard Alaska in entirety, although I did see them live once. My only message to Nick Scandy is that he should interview me before making accusations about my character based on some press sheet that he believes we wrote about ourselves. Otherwise he might end up sounding like a novice journalist.
The purpose of reviews are to give my opinion on albums, many of which that are accompanied by a press sheet to provide a brief introduction to the band. I've read one too many press sheets and seen one too many banner ads and commercials that have unnecessarily pretentious descriptions in them. I have to imagine that bands get some sort of say in what goes on their press sheet for an album that is their creation. If not, I suggest you should either look for a label that gives you more free r
Yeah, whoever says the we're "the saviors of rock" first, wakes up to animal heads in their bed. That's my least favorite and most overused magazine hype title. No bad blood here, and thanks for the well wishing. I HAVE to defend my integrity, you must understand.. It's all I have.
Best f*cking band ever...best singer ever...god gives this record 2 thumbs up...
this band owns your f*cking band. commit suicide you little idiots.
Honestly...I'd never heard of these guys until some girl talked to me about them. I listen to a lot of shit...but these guys...provide a brand new inspiration to my writing. I wouldn't say their lyrics are "life changing" but then again no one's have been for me. They are however...not boring. They're well written...with some of the best guitar I've heard since all I knew was Metallica and Megadeth. They do so much more than just shred. Yes they shred but it sounds so damn good and It's not mind
kid above me is a f*cking idiot. production/songwriting tip: this album should have been much more aggressive.
^ The piano part is technically on Desiderata, though they play from there on for the video and when they play it live. I think it's awesome, and actually well written and not some filler piano piece like most bands use. Stop comparing this band to BTBAM. They're technical, but when I listen to this I don't go "OMG Alaska!" and neither does anybody I know that's heard both CDs.
typo in the last sentence of the first paragraph. balls.
