This is brutal. The third album from the East Coast's Vision of Disorder doesn't let up on the anger or relentless riffing for one second, as the musicians thrash and groan their way through the turbocharged likes of "Living to Die" and "Sunshine," sounding like a demented cross between Slayer and Marilyn Manson. The title track puts Cradle of Filth to shame, while "Downtime Misery" is just plain scary. This is sheer, unadulterated headbanging nirvana. --Everett True

5.0 out of 5 stars Hardcore kids grew up, March 17, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: From Bliss To Devastation (Audio CD)

This album, as previously noted, is certainly a turning point for VOD. While I loved Imprint in its' day, I got hold of it on the cusp of getting tired of the constant raging that is hardcore music. So I knew it was good, but couldn't listen to it much. Then I find from Bliss to Devastation, and all of a sudden I'm back into VOD again. It's certainly not as "heavy" if you define that in terms of tempo, amount of screaming, and time swaps. It is a much more mature album, that definitely sets a really tasty dark mood throughout. They took their time making this album, and it shows. For previous fans of VOD who are still very much into the hardcore music, I can understand it being off-putting - it's slower, it has definite melodies throughout, and the guitar lines are full of hooks. This is not Imprint and if you expect it to be you will be disappointed. BUT: If you've felt yourself kind of bored with the hardcore scene of late, and want something a little less raging, and a little more moody - pick up this powerful album.

Vision of Disorder is one of my favorite bands but this is my favorite cd by them. It's not as heavy with the screaming as Imprint or older VoD but its the best. Tim shows his all around singing abilitys on this album. My favorite songs are "Living To Die", "Southbound", and "Pretty Hate." "Pretty Hate" is one of the most interesting songs with a dark side to the lyrics and a grunge style to the sound like Alice In Chains. Of course "Southbound" is my favorite song by VoD ever its got the best beat. If your a big Vision Of Disorder fan you cannot miss out on this CD!

I am happy to see that there are open-minded individuals who gave this album a fair shot. I have to admit, upon first listening a few years ago, I did not. After growing up and realizing one of favorite hardcore bands is no longer what they used to be (nor should they be), I realized the greatness of this album. Brutal, diverse, interesting lyrically, and by far Tim Williams' best vocal performance. He still has one of the most brutal screams in the biz when he wants to unleash it, and frankly it's more devastating in small doses. Unlike Imprint, FBTD isn't heavy for heavy's sake or headache inducing. I would put this album alongside "For the Bleeders" and their self titled as their masterworks.
