4.0 out of 5 stars thebleedingalarm ~Beauty in Destruction~, July 5, 2006

Thebleedingalarm, always spelt in lowercase with all three words mashed together, are a five piece rock band out of Canada that just recently signed to Immortal Records. Apparently the demo was so good that the label decided not to make any changes to it; just repackage and release it as the bands debut album.

Though not quite as good as Immortal would have you believe, thebleedingalarm have some promise. They're emo in the same sense that Moments in Grace are, they have a large emo appeal but I wouldn't go about tossing them right in the genre. Their leads remind me of Alexisonfire's Watch Out!which is nice to hear since not many bands are using that type of jerky/multi note lead work.

The disc itself really starts to shake about half-way through with the song ""Amber in Ashes."" This track exemplifies strong screamo and propels the rest of this album forward. It's a shame the first half isn't as good as the proceeding songs... ""Sorrows the Seas of my Heart"" is chock full of wonderful melody and the title track is a true monster, filled with desperation and anguish.

All in all, for most people, this album will probably get tossed into the "typical screamo" corner and never get listened to again. I hear a little more melody in some of this bands songs and their hooks are pretty tight so I hear a world of potential. Instead of re-releasing this album, I would have had the band go back into the studio and work on an entirely new album--I hear maturity, but I know that a second album from this band would have produced much better results in the same way that Alexisonfire's second album is far superior to their debut.

If you're down with screamo that has strong melodies, this is for you. Just don't think you're buying the next Too Bad You're Beautiful.

In a fit of boredom I began listening to every band that Amazon recommended to me, and I was just about to give up when I discovered "Beauty in Destruction"...I have to admit that I know absolutly nothing about this band, other than the fact that they are a diamond in the rough.. This CD came out of nowhere and completely blew me away..I highly recommend this CD to anyone with ears, a soul, and a cd player..

5.0 out of 5 stars Emo/Screamo......whatever., March 14, 2007

I was immediately impressed with the bands multi note front work, since most bands these days are nowhere near that in their abilities. I found myself drawn into the album, and I finished with a slow sigh. It was absolutely one of the best albums I have listened to recently. They gave me something to look forward to in this genre. I played the CD on repeat and made sure it was in my Ipod. I've reminded all my friends to check it out. I was shocked my friends hadn't already heard of them, and I consider them a true diamond in the ruff.
