5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible, August 12, 2006

By	A. M. Lewis "Blueberry Ale" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Let me just tell you that as a stubborn fan of the second great punk movement (NOFX, Bad Religion etc.) it's extremely difficult to get me into any of today's popular "punk", "Emo" "Emocore" etc. bands. Thursday and Taking Back Sunday type bands just don't do it for me. However, my friends feel differently so I'm often forced to listen to it. So one day my buddy put on Bayside. I was immediately hooked. The band is awesome, and this album is truly amazing from start to finish. There is no screaming on this album, just melodic singing that can easily be enjoyed by all. Throw in some sick guitar work and you've got yourself a classic album for the genre. Favorite songs: "Devotion and Desire", "Montauk", "Existing in Crisis" and "Half a Life". Truthfully, there are no bad songs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Blame it on bad luck...R.I.P., December 20, 2005

By	Joshhhh (U.S.A.) - See all my reviews

I first heard about this band when the drummer John "Beatz" Holohan died on Halloween. I decided to grab the CD because i noticed that Devotion and Desire was a VERY good song. I only wished i had known about them sooner. This CD has many highpoints and is not repetitive(which seems to be a problem in some CDs). When you first listen to the Cd, you start thinking that its o.k. but then it grows on you. And suddenly, your hooked. The CD starts with a nice short starter that actually is very good.
High Points:
-Devotion and Desire
-Tortures of the Damned
-Montauk
-Blame it on Bad Luck
-We'll be O.K.
-Excisting in a crisis (Evelyn)
-Dear Tragedy

Low Point
-Don't Call Me Peanut

Overall, this CD is definitely deserves a listening.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great CD, October 17, 2005

By	Tim __Miller (Ann Arbor, MI) - See all my reviews

This is one of the better emo CDs that i've heard in a while. I wouldn't be surprised to this band take over top billings on some of teh bigger victory tours that will be forthcomming. They have a very unique sound mainly due to the lead vocals of Anthony Raneri. He has a great delivery and an original voice. Also the lead guitarist Jack O'Shea has some awesome solo's on the CD. I also got a chance to see these guys recently in concert preforming tracks form this CD and they absolutly killed it, they got a call-back. My favorite songs on this Cd would have to be "They Look Like Strong Hands", "Devotion and Desire" and "We'll Be Ok". If you liked them before you like them even more. If your just into the emo scene this is a great addition.
