Crucify my heart, October 7, 2003
I admit I have a soft spot for female fronted hard rock bands like Nightwish, Lacuna Coil, and even Evanescence. I came across Lullacry by accident. I was reading issue #21 of OUTBURN magazine this past summer and they had a review of "Crucify My Heart". Curiousity piqued. A few months later, I threw caution to the wind and decided to order "Crucify My Heart" via Amazon. I just got the cd today and am currently listening to the cd. I am definitely enjoying the melodic yet loud, crunchy guitars and the sweet vocals of new vocalist Tanja. Yeah, the loud, crunchy guitars is a throwback to '80s hair metal and the cd a bit more polished than necessary but if you listen with an open mind and get passed those things, "Crucify My Heart" is a 43 minute rollicking good time. Every song on this cd is hard not to sing along to. They are all catchy. Rock ballads in general are pretty cheesy but Lullacry makes songs like "Unchain" very enjoyable to listen to. There wasn't a single song on "Crucify My Heart" didn't like. I personally wouldn't dare compare Lullacry to Lacuna Coil, Evanescence maybe. No matter what, "Crucify My Heart" is a good solid rock album I will be enjoying for years to come.

Lullacry : "Crucify My Heart", April 8, 2005
**** - FOUR STARS
==================
Anyone who enjoys Evanescence, should certainly give "Crucify My Heart" a listen. Lullacry is another very solid female fronted Rocker Metal outfit. Very catchy, and quite heavy at times too...
I would have to say this is alittle less radio oriented than the music Evanescence has released, and it's got a harder edge, but the overall feel is quite similar. Both bands are a great listen, and I have a hard time choosing between "Crucify" and "Fallen" when I want to hear this kind of Metal....
I'm truly a huge Lacuna Coil fan, and I've been searching high and low for something similar to them. Needless to say, I've had a very hard time accomplishing that with the exception of a few bands {Theatre Of Tragedy / Leave's Eyes / After Forever}. Since I was reading and hearing great things about Lullacry, I decided to give this a shot. I was not disappointed, and I'm sure I'll purchace more from them in the future....
Lullacry is not Goth Metal, I'd classify this with Evanescence and their "Rocker Metal" lable. When you want to hear something fun and cool, this is a perfect disc to spin....
RECOMMENDED

This is better then you think!, April 29, 2003
I have been listening to this cd a lot lately. I can tell you this is a great cd. It's more in lines with Lacuna Coil then some cheap copy of Lacuna Coil who lands a song on a soundtrack if you know what i mean. Anyway, The songs are so good and the new singer Tanya is better then the last singer they had with the same first name. Lullacry have finally landed paydirt on this their third cd. Check them out more on here or on www.lullacry.com One of my favorite new cds! Let's just hope this finnish band finally gets a chance to play the US!
