Southern California is renowned for continually producing some of the best punk rock and hardcore bands on the scene today.

It's an ok CD. Fun breakdowns, but not much substance. the reason that people bash this band is the same reason people bash 18 visions cuz its shitty chugga hardcore thats all about fashion and being "deep" and writting"deep" or "meaningful lyrics" these guys may have some talent but the music they are playing just ruins it and im sorry but there are way better hardcore bands and there were these guys are a flash in the pan, cookie cutter, played out, never should have played this in the first place, hardcore. go listen to curl up and die or countervail. I agree. If you dont like Atreyu, you can undo my pants and suck my fat cock. I dont get how people who get on here and bash the band I like think there actually doing anything. These are likely the people, tha would be sooo pissed if you even said the slightest thing wrong about their music as well. The atreyu is a super solid band. I ment them at warped tour this year, and not only is their music AMAZING, but they're outstandingly nice guys. I've been in to Atreyu for well over a year now.The first time I heard Atreyu I wasn't impressed.(I was also 12)But I liked Lip Gloss & Black alright.Months later I decided to burn the cd from my brother.I never really listened to it.Then I found out about The curse.Bought it, loved it.I decided to find this album & give it a try.I loved it.The more I listened to it & read the lyrics & Alex's (the vocalist(screamer) & songwriter)interpretations of the songs the more I loved it.This cd deals with raw emotions.Hate,pain,betrayal,lonliness,desire,love,& judgement.While Alex's raw screams & Brandon's (drummer/vocalist) melodic beautiful voice blare so do amazing guitar riffs.This band is the full package.Even if you don't like their album The Curse you may still be able to fully enjoy this album.And I would encourage everyone to see them live.Great energy,emotion,& they will give you the feeling of unity.They will give words of appreciation and encouragment the whole way through. This album overtakes any other heavy outfit trying to swirl hardcore and emotionally driven rock in the world. All that has to be said is "Ain't Love Grand" whoever think this cd sucks can go fuck themselves, this cd is so fucking good, i just wish that atreyu could play live in maine so i could go see them one of the worst cds ever. i have only heard like 3 songs but i just could not take it anymore. their "screamer" is the worst screamer ever. it sounds like the man is trying to imitate a wolf or something, that or coughing up a lung. this cd makes me want to cough up a lung. Dont compare these guys to From Autumn to Ashes. FATA is awesome..these guys suck. I LOVE THE METAL GUITAR RIFFS ON THIS CD. There two guitarists really show there talent and how the blend in well with the rest of the band. I LOVE THOSE RIFFS. At First I thought the singers voice was a bit too BLEH for my tastes but i've grown to like it. The drummer has a great melodic voice and it adds a great touch to the record. SO BUY THE CD NOW Holt shit this is a great fucking cd all around!!! So is this Nardcore? I'm still so confused... I happen to really like this album. It flows together well and just sorta hits the spot. It's nothing revolutionary, but not everything can be. I personally think this is one of the best albums I've heard yet. You people will probably consider that I have bad taste or whatever..like i give a fuck. I think these guys are great. The screamer is pretty bad I must say, but that's not a really big deal. if you disagree with me..then why are you reading this? So you can tell me that i'm such a dumbass and that i have no taste in music whatsoever? if so, do you honestly have nothing better to do? Man, I'm sick of fanboy reviewers like this guy Oh my god. That was the worst review i've ever read. Someone gag me. Either the reviewer is from southern california, or they are an idiot. So-cal is the land of uninspired cookie cutter bullshit. i prefer... crappy and boring. If you want to get technical, it's called metal-core. Oh yeah, their singer sucks. this is not hardcore. Great CD, I think I might be the only person who thinks "Ain't Love Grand" is the worst song on the cd. "Lip Gloss & Black" & "Deanne The Arsonist" are, in my humble opinion, the best tracks on here. The guy a couple spots below me is right, any fan of PTW, FATA, or Drowningman should enjoy this cd. The review seems a lot like the Victory bio, but I'm going to go with "inspiration" rather than "plagarism" if no one objects. "Southern California is renowned for continually producing some of the best punk rock and hardcore bands on the scene today." I'm sure that, by "today," you actually meant either "fifteen years ago" or "never." It's a common mistake. good cd, but this person did not write this review, he just took it from the victory records catalog. lol. Fantastic CD, mediocre review. |
