Editorial Reviews

Decibel, September 2005

"...Damn, "Apologize For Nothing" is fairly diverse, surprising, oddly soulful in places, and musically ambitious."

Product Description

Bobaflex is an odd beast, a bracing mix of heavy riffage, hip-hop-inspired beats and alternately growling and soaring vocals. There are four singers in the band, so the angle of attack constantly shifts, which is partly why the band’s songs careen around your brain far longer than hard rock’s usual offerings. Mostly, the songs on "Apologize For Nothing" rock outrageously hard because Bobaflex is willing to try anything that sounds good, and couldn’t care less how any of it might make them look. Their influences range from System Of A Down to Queen.

And why should they care? They're just happy to be on the road and out of the small town existence the band's core grew up with in Point Pleasant, West Virginia. "Apologize For Nothing" is an appropriate title for the quintet's debut on TVT Records, the label that brought Sevendust to prominence. In fact, Bobaflex already had two Sevendust tours under their belt when the opportunity to join the Gigantour came up. Now Dave Mustaine is paying them compliments as they share the same stage night after night with Megadeth, Fear Factory, Dream Theatre, Dillenger Escape Plan and Life of Agony.

Check out the first single "Better Than Me" for just a taste of Bobflex's pumped up, muscular rock.

4.0 out of 5 stars pretty good, January 31, 2006

i heard these guys for the first time when they were at Gigantour with Megadeth in the summer of 2005, and i thought they were great musically, and despite the group of guys next to my group screaming out 'you suck' throughout the preformance, I wanted to hear more and more. I finally bought this album a couple days ago, since it had 'Better than Me' and a few others that they played at the show, at first i just thought it was so-so at first, but after a few listens, i like it alot more not. I relized that they are just as good live as on the album. the only down fall I find on the album is just some of the lyrics could be a little weird at times. Yes, some of the music heard on here sounds alot like others at times, but it's definatly worth a listen by any fan of metal.

4.0 out of 5 stars New music that sounds.....NEW?!?!?!, December 9, 2005

Saw these guys open up for Sevendust/Mudvayne. They stole the show, hands down. The energy/chaos/dancing going on up on the stage is something I have not seen in years. These guys have a cohesive vibe going on that has been missing from most new music for ages.

The CD rocks. Psuedo-progressive metal/rock with twists and influences ranging from everywhere.
Now as far as innovation goes, they stray from what most modern innovators go for. There are very few if any mind blowing riffs or solos or drumming going on with this CD. What is mind-blowing is the off kilter imaginitive song-writing, some what reminiscent of SoAD's first album (in the song structures, not the sound), and the vocal melodies they throw at you. Four singers. And they can all sing pretty well.

My only "complaints" about the cd is the over-use of rap-style vocals (ok, the use at all really, there's not that much), the lack of innovative riffs etc, and the fact that the cd only manages to capture a sliver of the energy they put out up on the stage (not to say the cd is low-energy by any means). But none of those things have taken this CD out of my cd player. Give them a listen with an open ear, and you won't be dissapointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars WARNING: Creativity & Original Rarities Ahead, September 16, 2005

Here we go around, around.. If your expecting some basic Nu Metal/Death Metal Drone.. You are looking in the wrong place. Now if you want Originalty,Creativity & Fun then you've landed in the right spot. Bobaflex are basically a new band emerging onto the scene, Bringing forth a voice unheard of. Mixing Low depthed vocals with higher pitched clen singing was a blow to the head of Screamo bands that still bleeds. And the music reminds me of a mix between Mudvayne,Misfits,Bloodsimple & American Head Charge.. Only a pinch more oddities added. The lyrics are flawless and fun to both headbang and sing along with. The fans go crazy for these creative masterminds, and pits tend to open for the most oddest of melodies. All in all, If your a Metal lover looking for something different like I am this is for you! Bobaflex is the evolution of metal at hand!
