Great to the end and all the way through, August 31, 2004
This review is from: Healthy Manipulation (Audio CD)
I have really enjoyed the oportunity to have my opinions read on various artist, Thanks Amazon! I find it interesting to read what others have to say...but sometimes I just don't agree with them. This is one of those instances. I can see how there can be controversial issues facing this album. It really is different. Not normal run of the mill guitar rock. It's probably not one for everybody. Definitely not for metalheads simply because it won't invert your eardrums and cause paint to peel from your walls. This group has about the same heaviness as Lifehouse. With the catchiness of Collective Soul.
The vocals come through distinct, powerful and straight forward. Take track #3 "no sympathy". It speaks to me in a variety of ways. I am easiest to reminisce about the old times battling with my friends and their drug addictions. Also, track #2, "ego" with lines like "I'll hold you up, even when you're wrong ...because You're mine" Which reminds me of my girlfriend who has always stuck by me and has basically quoted those exact words.
Aside from just good old fashioned emotional song writing, this is about the best group I've ever heard. Excellent toned vocals, among the most catchy choruses I've ever listened to. Song after song they pull this thing out with amazing soothability. I hope they can remain this good in their cd's to come!
They are a must have for myself. I have loved listening to this group over and over and over. They have enough talent to satisfy most anyone. I would easily recommend this for anyone past the "metalhead" stage in life.

Clockwise(Phater than Albert) has reached the top! This album rocks....you gotta buy it, trust me on this one. Normally there is one or two songs on every album that you hate.....NOT this one,every song just sucks you in and blows you away.

"lay her down" rocks-after that what's left?, June 16, 2004
This review is from: Healthy Manipulation (Audio CD)
"lay her down" grabbed my attention very quickly and has become one of my favorite songs lately.after taking a listen to the rest of the cd, i was very bored with it and it is all trite material used several times before.definitely check out the cd for "lay her down" (grab it for a penny plus shipping on amazon) but don't expect too much after that.
