4.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely impressive for a debut album, July 19, 2005

I've been waiting a long time to get my hands on this album. I heard Ships of Relations and When we speak, we breathe and saw great improvement. The sound is definitely unique. However, sometiems a get the tinniest hint of Incubus, but of course much heavier at times. For young guys these guys sound like veteran composers. The vocals are sound, along with the screams. Drummer, crisp as ever, guitars very solid. The sound that they create is melodic in a very different way. Dark at times, chaotic, but very tightly nit. very intense. My Body is Like A Metaphor just blows me away every time i hear it. Songs following Catastrophic seem to lose that edge they create initially in the album though. However the album regains momentum and strength at Becoming one with Nature. Just the way I feel. could be mistaken.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Lightworker (Audio CD)

are these people serious???!!! this is one of the best AND most underated albums of the last few years. this band is not trying to stick to any 'roots' especially not post hardcore, or screamo... they write what they want to. and why wouldn't they, they are all still teenagers!!! this is rock music and even though it's their first full length, this is a great album and these amazon users seem to have the wrong idea of this band.

3.0 out of 5 stars Missing the lead ins, instrumentals, and break downs from earlier releases, August 7, 2005

This review is from: Lightworker (Audio CD)

Their two previous 5 track releases have a couple things that make it stand out that this album completely lacks.

The first thing is lead ins. Of their 10 previously released songs, most of them have instrumental lead ins that last an average of 55 seconds.

The second thing is break downs. In their first 2 EPs there are plenty of "breaks" mid song, where they highlight, emphasize and exagerate the best parts of the tune.

The lead ins and break downs I just mentioned offer huge variety in every song, making it very easy to listen to over and over again.

Lightworker is missing both. Too many of these songs are redundant. They do sound good, but it's like listening to a 15 second clip looped over. It becomes a stale listen, fast.

Make sure you own their first two five track releases. If they're touring near you, go to a show (wear ear plugs). Treasure what they've got out that you like, and hope for another album.
