5.0 out of 5 stars It's hard to believe they're only 23..., March 18, 2003

One can wonder just how far a band can go with their music. And most of those times, the answer is not far, but far enough to make a few decent records. Some musicians don't even make it to that level. Cave-In is very different than most, if not all musicians today (with some exceptions). They are young, and have already accomplished the art making great music. In their metal days, there was the classic "Until Your Heart Stops" and when they broke off the metal scene into the space rock category they created the classic "Jupiter". Many doubted they could ever make such an impact in that particular genre of rock again, or just make another album nearly as good. But with the release of "Antenna" they have done just that. Even though "Antenna" and "Jupiter" differ, they still have the same energy they had then. And their musicianship is even tighter and more mature.

Antenna plain rocks. It sounds as though it was crafted with instruments made from natural elements. The guitars are so crisp and rich with riffs that produce vivid imagery of such things as rain, waves crashing and waterfalls pouring down a mountain side. It's really nice to hear, whether soothing (like in "Beautiful Son") or just plain rock ("Inspire"). The drums sounds like soil. Pounding and deep, driving. When you hear them, it gets into your soul and moves you. The bass sounds like the wind blowing by, it's subtle but apparent, and keeps the sounds and harmonies going. And then, then there is Stephen Brodsky. The man is talented. And that, is an understatement. His vocals paint the pictures the instruments create. His lyrics are intelligent and rich with imagery, just like the music. And he can sing so well, I'd argue that even without instruments pushing the songs, his vocals alone could drive the band.

When it all comes down to it, you have to ask? Is it really worth a 5-star rating? And without even pausing, I can say "yes". It's worth the money. It's worth more than money.

5.0 out of 5 stars ANTENNA!!!..., March 26, 2003

Ok well i head this cd a bit before it was actually released... im sorry cave in!, but of course i payed for it once it came out, with the dvd i might add. and now i can say that i never stop listening to it. "stained sliver" opens the song with a blast of energy, and then keeps it going with "inspire", then as "joy oppsites" gets you really in the mood to make out, you get into "anchor", when you just get all angry about all the things wrong in the world, and on and on. the best songs on this amazing cd were really hard to choose, but i summed up that "youth overrided", "woodwork", and"rubber and glue"
( bigger riff ) are the songs that keep me going. im really dissapointed that they didnt put the song " day trader " on the cd and only on the dvd, cause in my opinion its just amazing. anyways. cave in has made an amazing amazing album, and everyone should own this.

I don't even know where to begin with my praise for this album. I'm a brand new fan to the music these guys create. I got a promo CD with "Lift Off" and "Jupiter" a long time ago and loved it, but never thought much of the band after listening to the music a few times. I wish I had looked them up earlier! Anyway, so I bought "Antenna" the day it came out after reading a great review about it and I agree with what it said: this is perhaps one of the first must have albums of 2003. I've listened to the album several times through already, and it's still very fresh sounding. This band shows you what music should be, and that is an art. I'm now gonna buy up their collection of albums bit by bit.
