The first indie CD from the Florida good-time band. These guys are Tiffan’y first love, mainly for the harmonies. We also own the re-release of this, but this is the original.

A psuedo-karaoke CD that was packed in with the movie. Fun stuff, although I doubt it’ll get listened to much.

#Stupid Crazy
Review:
Shadows Fall came back with another strong metal disc to follow up The War Within. More shredding, heavy riffs, and Brian Fair switching between the higher-style scream of his and the clean singing. It mixes well, and it just works. Moving to a major label (Atlantic) didn’t hurt them at all, as many had feared. The copy of Threads of Life that I picked up had ‘Stupid Crazy’ as a bonus track (Others had Fade Into Smoke, and/or a demo of Dread Uprising).

Review:
It’s a Seattle party! The movie and soundtrack both came out before the explosion, and then they marketed the hell out of it. Noteable for the two PJ b-sides (State of Love and Trust, and Breathe), Chris Cornell’s ‘Seasons”, and tracks from Soundgarden, AIC, Mother Love Bone and more.

They got a lot harder on this album, and while the first 5 songs are great, the rest of the album kinda wanes.

Review:
I don’t really recall where I heard of these guys, but I know I got the CD out of the buck bin. Typical alternative rock/nu-metal lite. The CD kinda gets boring after the first 4 songs or so.

Review:
I really didn’t know what to expect from this album. Considering that Leave A Whisper was one of the better radio rock releases of the past year or two, a repeat of that wouldn’t have been out of the question, and wouldn’t have been bad. But the Atlanta boys went in a completely new Southern Rock direction, and it works for them. Certainly less ‘in-your-face’, but more soulful and heartfelt songs this time out. And for a refreshing change, I didn’t hear any songs that scream ‘single’, rather 13 songs that sound like a complete album. A definite sidestep of the sophomore slump for Shinedown.

Review:
I had heard Fly From The Inside on the radio when I was working down in Florida, and subsequently checked out the band once I got back home. This is simply a really good hard rock album, with a singer that has some range, and some interesting songs.

#Those Who Cannot Speak
Review:
I saw the video for ‘The Power of I and I’ on Headbangers Ball, and after downloading some of the album, I found it used. Whereas The Art of Balance was their breakthrough, this album solidified their stature at the forefront of the new American heavy metal movement. I like it, and that’s all that matters to me, but it’s also been critically acclaimed by most metal critics and fans alike as a nearly perfect metal record.
