1.0 out of 5 stars Oh, God, she's writing another album? BRING BACK SEVERINA!!, October 25, 2005

I loved Passion's Price. I really did; catchy tunes, great vocals (the Severina chick kicked ass) and each song sounded like a separate track! Wowee! But this second album I rolled my eyes at constantly. Why, the lyrics were the worst I've read since Vanilla Ice, the vocals were the exact same in each and every song, and the topic? Yes, he was a jerk, now get over it. My best advice for Debra Fogarty is to bring back Sev so she can inspire her to put out something worth purchasing. Oh yeah, and to post pictures of other people (she isn't a one-man band, is she?) besides herself on the website.

Diva Destruction is another band that I just had to check out without having to listening to their music. I was intrigued by what I have read about them on Metropolis Record's website. It also helped that they are signed to my favorite record label so I had some inkling to what the band sounded like...somewhat. I bought the cd last Thursday and since then I have been listening to the cd non-stop... The in your face production from Scott Humphrey and Frank Gryner knocked me off my feet. I haven't heard such clean production as what I just heard on "Exposing the Sickness". Debra Fogarty's vocals (w/back up vocals from Sharon Blackstone) reminded me a lot of Siouxsie Sioux and Tina and Susan from Switchblade Symphony. Very powerful. Debra could put a lot of today's singers to shame. The bass, drums, guitars, and programming blended well, a mixture of rock and industrial music. As I am listening to "Exposing the Sickness" again, Diva Destruction reminds me a lot like their fellow labelmates Clan of Xymox and Bella Morte but with female lead singer, especially Bella Morte but with more programming and less guitars. I loved "Exposing the Sickness" right from the get go with the first track "Heathcliff". My favorite songs off this album has to be the remix to "When Trees Would Dance" (as well as the original version), "Tempter", "Valley of the Scars", and "Hypocrite". I definitely plan on acquiring their first album as well as future releases from the band in the near future.

1.0 out of 5 stars Diva Disposable, November 21, 2003

Can anyone say "Switchblade Symphony"? I love Switchblade Symphony! I needed all 3 SS CD's in my player to get over this. This could have easliy been a single remixed a dozen times. There is no varriation and not a hint of growth from that early 90's style darkwave goth-snooze. The album sounds like remix's of "Bad Trash" from SS's "Serpentine Gallery" Isn't growing and changing what music should be all about? I guess the Diva fills in a gap or 2 for some people but for anyone with interest in contrast change or creativity then judge it by its cover. Another Disposable goth chic with nothing interesting to do or say. She's not even that interesting looking so the pictures wont do it either(although she does look hot on the cover of "Passions Price" which I heard is a much better CD that I wont buy anyway).

Oh well, I spent money on a hype so Im the only one with nothing gained from this purchase. Do yourself a heaping favor and if you dont already know them... buy all 3 "Switchblade Symphony" CD's, ignore all comparisons to "Siouxsie and the Banshees"(Siouxsie was dynamic and original, NOTHING like this) and tell the Diva if you see her to listen to a zillion other forms of music to get a clue of a unique sound and use it. I seriously wish Debra luck! I love to have my mind changed!
