3.0 out of 5 stars It's all relative, September 2, 2005

After seeing The Bled while visiting Denver, they completely blew me away. Got me back into real heavy music. "Flask" is one of the best heavy albums I've heard in years.

This album is interesting. Much more musical with more singing and less screaming. I find it to be a nice change, but can understand why alot of "hardcore" fans don't dig it. Although most of the album is still pretty damn heavy, the riffs just don't seem nearly as ballsy as on "flask."

To sum it up, this is a cd that will be easier to listen to with my girlfriend (which is cool), and will get more radioplay, however when I need a good rush I'll still probably go for the "Flask" first.

I believe this is a really good cd. I used to be into the whole hardcore genre, but its all starting to sound the same. There are a few bands that really stand out to me and this is one of them. The song writing on this cd is excellent. It is not your typical hardcore cd with the stereotypical indecypherable screams and all the same sounding breakdowns. The Bled makes their mark by their creativity. Listen to this whole cd and you will see what I mean. The stand out songs are numbers 1,2,3,5,6, and 9. These seem to have the most energy. The other songs are excellent and show the slower side of the genre. This and Gutter Phenonmenon are my favorite hardcore cds of this year. If you enjoy this cd, check out their old cd and their EXTREMELY RARE EPs. Also check out Every Time I Die because they are the definition of perfection and creativity in the genre. Also be on the look out for Anterrabae, their first cd shows the same potention as these. The Bled brings back to life a dead genre of music for me.

4.0 out of 5 stars A very good album, June 3, 2006

Why does everyone seem to hate this album and love their previous album? I'm not going to get into which album is better for which reasons because I believe these albums are too different to just compare like that. This one seems to mix their previous work with The Mars Volta, with its progressive egde. I personally really enjoy the progressive side exhibited in this album. They have certainly progressed from their overabundance of breakdowns in "Pass the Flask" to this disc.

Overall, I would certainly recommend this album. It isn't absolutely amazing, but it is very well done, especially with the onslaught of mediocrity in the hard music realm of late. "Found on the Floor" is worth the money if you like bands from Remembering Never and Unearth to Dream Theater and The Mars Volta. It's not perfect, but it's a great example of what happens when hardcore meets intelligent musical arrangments (a la progressive rock).
