"I simply love this band and especially Craig Owens. After listening to Cinematic Sunrise and The Sound of Animals Fighting, I fell more in love with his sound.
My favorite band....=p"

"Awesome CD, but I can see why others might not like it. The lead vocalist's voice is definitely an acquired taste. I would not recommend this to just anyone . . .Just someone who's willing to trying something . .something different. However, once you get over the high pitched-ness of the lead's vocals then the kick arse-ness kicks into high gear. I suppose you could say the song titles reflect the songs. They're random, fun, a little different, but in the end, the message still chugs through. In fact that's what drew me to this CD. The song titles - all I had to do was look at the titles and I could relate so I assumed I could relate to the songs as well and I wasn't dissapointed for the most part.
Warning though . .if you can't stand a vocalist going sharp every now and then you may want to second guess this CD; however, I wouldn't write off Chiodos just yet . . .Their newest CD is much better (at least to me) and Amazon has samples of a lot of their songs.
I recommend this for people with eclectic tastes and who don't mind a band with a non-mainstream vocalist - like Atreyu, Aiden, Alexisonfire, the Blood Brothers, Coheed and Cambria, or From First to Last (with either Matt or Sonny as the singer)
Peace Out,
Ronnie "

"good music, plus acoustic versions of some of the song, plus a DVD that has some really good live tour footage."
Breakdowns. Tastefully done.

"I am an indie kid at heart. The Shins, Death Cab, you know how they are. So what gets me listening to Chiodos (well besides the fact that they are awesome). Well i stumbled into warped tour this year, and with the exception of Chidos, Circa Survive, Kaddisfly, and perhapssss Underoath it sucked. I am not at all a fan of most of those bands. Chiodos does something differently though. Their singer has a high voice, but it is not whiney. It's heavy, there is screaming, but it is the kind that is perfectly placed, the kind that stresses the intense parts.
As a former reviewer said, the structure is, well, not structured. It goes from a catchy seering guitar riff to some nice piano to some full-on breakdown complete with screaming. However, i do not see how this takes away from the songs. they are kept unpredictable, and interesting. It is one of those albums that i notice something new with each listen.
there is not one bad song on this cd, they are all different yet all similiar enough to meld perfectly into each other. the interludes are a nice break, especially for someone whos a hardcore novice, and the additional 3 songs just add to my curiosity of why hardcore songs can be done so well acoustically."
