CD Reviews

WAIT!!! RERELEASE IS COMING!!!
Eric J. Lynch | Seattle, WA USA | 01/28/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Here is a post from As I Lay Dying's website to fans who want this album:

"Please stop paying $40 - $75 for our old CD's on used CD websites! This May we're re-releasing our first two recordings previously out on Pluto Records. Both "Beneath the Encasing of Ashes", which was recorded two months after the band started, and our split EP songs, which were recorded a year later, will both be on one CD. Wait until May and you'll spend less than $15 to get two CD's worth of material. Understand that it is old material, but you'll be suprised hearing what we did to some of the songs to make them sound clearer."



SO PLEASE DON'T PAY RIDICULOUS PRICES TO OTHER PEOPLE. WAIT AND SUPPORT THE BAND WITH YOUR MONEY!!!"
Glad I got this CD!

"A lot of people think As I Lay Dying's new CD is better, but I think this one is their best. It's an amazing release and I'm sorry I took so long to review it. I've had it for well over a year now and has been a regular in my rotation since. Their riffs and vocals blow you away every time you listen to them and I can't get enough of it. If you have "Frail Words Collapse" and haven't gotten this one yet, do so. It's worth every penny."

"Yes, this does sound like Zao at some parts, but this is a great album by a great band. Personally, I think it's the best so far, even though I love "Frail Words Collapse" a lot. Besides, you can't just hate a band because YOU think they sound like something else.



It's tragic that this CD went out of print. It's such a great album. The opener, "Beneath The Encasing Of Ashes", picks things up, and "Forced To Die" and "The Voices That Betray Me" show that this band knows how to play some good music. If you are a fan of As I Lay Dying OR Zao, I'd advise that you try to find this album if possible. Believe me, it's just that good.



New album, "Shadows Are Security", coming this June! (I hope they do a repress of "Beneath The Encasing Of Ashes")."
