4.0 out of 5 stars
Lizards in my Stereo, August 24, 2006
Showbread's latest release, "Age of Reptiles," is, honestly, a great production. From the first track, you know that you'll listen to this album again and again. From the artwork, to the music, to the lyrics, this is one album that's tough not to enjoy.
Musically, in comparison to their previous albums, Showbread has matured -- more intense and complex riff and changes in tempo. There's significantly much less screaming than, say, their previous release, but it's still present in most of the songs, even if only for a few seconds or as a background vocal. The decrease in screaming, I believe, will widen their fanbase, since the album sounds a bit more commercial. The quality, however, is flawless. Very well done album.
This album is definitely a good buy, since there's no real downpoints. Personally, I find some tracks better than others, but not enough for me to skip those that I like less. Other than that, you've got a solid effort from a very talented band.
Don't miss it.

Oh! Emetophobia!, August 2, 2006
In 2003 I recieved Showbreads first full album No Sir Nihilism Is Not Practical from Xm-Radio's Torch.
I had never heard them before but was intrigued by the album art. I popped it in an cranked the volume up to hear the intro.(two guys whispering on a phone) and got BLASTED with a high pitched scream followed by the most amazing sound i've ever heard.
After the first track i was 100% hooked. I listened to the album in it's entirety over and over for the rest of the day.
For the past 3 years Showbread has been my favorite band and I was HIGHLY anticipating their new release.
The new album Age Of Reptiles opens up with Naked Lunch.
Instantly I love it.
Again.
Showbread has scored a perfect game for the second time.
Evidence that the band is maturing in it's musical talent is very clear.
Josh Dies has cut down on the screaming lyrics which dissapointed me at first. after a couple listens it feels like the same album i've been listening to for 3 years and that is a VERY GOOD thing.
Showbread is a tough band to compare another band too.
They have their own genre in a sense.
The best way to describe them is "fast paced, loud, annoying"
And the annoying part is a good thing. It's like "nah nah nah nah boo boo" from when you were a kid, it gets stuck in your head and you cant stop saying it.
Showbread IS the best band ever and you should really pick up their new release AND their first one No Sir Nihilisim Is Not Practical if you haven't already

the best bread since sliced... , August 8, 2006
yah.. this cd is awesome... i mean they said they like to change their sound around on each cd so its not just repeated tunes with new titles.. and they did an awesome job.. i mean if you listen to this cd without expecting it to be like the first then you will fall in love with it instantly.. they dont scream really at all on this album and so it definetly sounds differnt but i think they just proved how talented they are... to make a total different sound and still rock hardcore... and each song has a meaning which is a lot to say for artists these days..
but if your boring and just want to hear stuff like you heard of their old album.. thats another story..
but cool people!! will love it!!!!
get it! get it! get it!
