The band you now know as Finger Eleven. There are hints of the band to come in here, but a couple of these songs sound the same to me. Not a bad first effort for a bunch of kids just out of high school.

Your typical alternative rock band in the vein of Fuel. I like this album a lot, its too bad their live show didn�t stand up as well. Another one-and-done band.

Review:
To me, this is the greatest rap-rock/nu-metal album ever made. The perfect intersection of rapid-fire rapping, awesome riffs, slick production, and enough screaming to make it sound cool. It’s such a shame that these guys never made it bigger than they did. I’m glad I got to see them twice while they toured this album.

Review:
These guys did rap-rock the way it was supposed to be done. Every song is quality, and they even got B-Real from Cypress Hill to guest on a track (Splitt). I’m partial to their second album a bit more than this one, but most die-hard Reveille fans like this one better. No matter, it’s still a great album.

A collection of mainly rap covers. It�s ok, not great, but the hidden live version of Cypress Hill�s �How I Could Just Kill A Man, with B-Real and Sen Dog helping out is amazing.

I don�t like this CD nearly as much as the other two, despite the popularity of Testify and Guerilla Radio. It�s not bad, but it sounds like a rehashing of Evil Empire to me.

Made Rage a household name with Bulls on Parade. The sound was not nearly as polished as on self-titled, but I think that only served to make it sound even more pissed off.

I finally got around to purchasing this import, but I had had the mp3s forever. More live than rare, and some of the arrangements are a little different.

Review:
A friend of mine in high school introduced me to this album, and after hearing the sheer (for lack of a better term) rage in Zack�s delivery, plus Tom Morello�s guitar work, I had to get it.

Ra – 2005 – Duality
By Eric | December 23, 2013 1:00 am
Artist: Ra

#Fear

#Superman
#Love
#Say You Will

#Far Enough
#Undertaken
#Taken
#Swimming Upstream
Review:
Ra�s Duality is an interesting pseudo-concept record, where the album is divided in to two halves, Fear and Love. Having said that, Sahaj and crew have writted a cohesive album that is a great follow-up to �From One�. It doesn�t rock quite as hard, but the songwriting matured, and with it, the sound of the band as a whole. Also included in the Love portion is a cover of The Police�s �Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic�.
