The Fall Of Troy, In The Unlikely Event, review

The Fall Of Troy is a amazing experimental hardcore band that don't sound like any one else with their amazing musicality and above average melodies. If Dillenger Escape Plan had a child with At The Drive In, The Fall Of Troy would be the bastard sons. Indifferent band from the rest. Thou with that said their most recent release, In The Unlikely Event, is a huge let down.

I won't be a bitch and feed you leaves and berries. I'm gonna feed you the branches, dirt and bark. This album is shit. I regret purchasing it. Being a huge fan of The Fall Of Troy, I've given it more than 10'000 tries. Its just bad, almost hard to listen to. The only saving grace is the music. At least the music hasn't lost its drive but its almost over shadowed by the dismal lyrics and the toneless vocals. It sounds like Thomas is trying to hit the right notes but the effect is just gross.

Musicianship Rating = 9/10
Lyrics Rating = 1/10
Overall Rating = 2.5/10


I don't recommend this record to anyone on the bases that it is absolutely dismal.

Strung Out, Agents Of The Underground Review

Strung Out, never ceases to impress with their punk, fast pace beats and increasingly impressive guitar riffs. Their new album Agents of the Underground is definitely worth a listen. I mean its no Suburban Teenage Wasteland Blues but its still worth a good listen. All of Strung Outs release have been amazing from 1994 to now, They keep bringing us amazing songs. Agents of the Underground is a slight change in sound for Strung Out with a bit more harmony and melody but they don't stray for from their selves.


Musicianship Rating = 7.8/10

I recommend Agents of the Underground to all who listen to Strung Out, Bad Religion and Pennywise. Ruth

Brand New's Daisy Review

Brand New has bought something new to the table yet again with this album Daisy, a huge step up from their 2006 release The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me. From beginning to end this record takes on a impression of deception, fall, and deceit. Although thou this album feels like a revolving overall depression, it also feels like the sad but noble acceptance of the inevitable. This album is nothing less than what I ever expected of Brand New yet nothing more. Daisy takes on the direction that the previous album left off but takes a somewhat larger step. Concept wise, Daisy is Brand News' best album to date. In terms of music it favors the mood of the album but nothing increasingly impressive. The music aspect of this album is actually very similar to their previous.

Musicianship rating - 5.5/10
Lyrics rating - 7/10
Overall rating - 7.5/10

Stand out Tracks:
1.Vices
3.At The Bottom
5.Stole
7.Sink
8.Bought a Bride

I recommend this record to all who enjoyed The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me.
