5.0 out of 5 stars An absolutely amazing CD, February 9, 2003

By

This review is from: Love (Audio CD)

The Juliana Theory continues to please (and deviate from their old emo and christian relations) with Love, their first release on a major label. And, unfortunately for the hardcore emo fans, it's not what you really want to hear.

Luckily, I hate that emo ..., and TJT goes into making harder, more intense, but still wonderful, songs. "Bring It Low", the CD's opener, is a great song to play at deafening volumes, with the screaming guitars and other such wonderful things, making it (by far) my favourite track on the CD.

But hey, (almost) all the tracks are wonderful anyways, with the exception of the overly cheesy closer track "Everything", and "As It Stands" is also a weak point, compared to the rest of the CD. It's also nice to finally see a re-recording of Into The Dark, a song that had so much potential but was underproduced, making it sound like absolute .... on their last full-length release.

In all, Love is worth your money, taking you through a diverse journey through hard rock, experimental rock, soft ballads, and back again. And the bonus content (especially the song "The Black Page"), is also a great addition.

5.0 out of 5 stars A More Mature Sound For A Great Band, October 22, 2003

By 

Andy Meyers (Louisville, KY United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Love (Audio CD)

The Juliana Theory has been making great records for a few years now, and I would recommend picking up any or all of their CD's. With their latest studio release, "Love", the guys bring a more polished, and mature sound to the table. While their last two albums were great, they focused a lot on more bouncy lighter songs. Don't get me wrong, songs on their previous albums such as "To The Tune Of 5000 Screaming Children" and "Is Patience Still Waiting" bring a harder sound and are by no means bouncy. Nonetheless, "Love" features songs such as "Trance", "Bring It Low", and "Congratulations" that really show the harder and heavier side of The Juliana Theory. If you are like me and you enjoy a softer, more laid-back feel along with the more aggressive songs, you will enjoy "Shell Of A Man", "White Days", and "The Hardest Things". Overall, the best tracks on this album are "Shell Of A Man", "White Days", and "Trance". These songs show both the diversity of this band as well as some of their roots found on earlier releases. Any fan of The Juliana Theory should enjoy this CD. If you are just discovering this band, you should start with this album and work your way back.

If you have never heard this been before, go grab this cd because you will hear a refreshing rock band with emo influences. Definitely a nice treat to those who don't listen to much beyond the radio.

TJT shows that they can rock with the opening track, Bring It Low, and one of my favorites off of Love, DTM (still not quite sure what that stands for.) If your a fan of the more mellow stuff, turn your attention to tracks like Shell Of A Man and Jewel To Sparkle.

My favorite track off the album is The Hardest Things. Definitely the most emotion on the album, which puts a smile to my face.

Either you like the new version of Into The Dark or you don't. The previous version was more poppy, while the one you hear on Love is redone to fit nicely with the overall vibe of the album. I normally try to dislike things for being pop-sounding, but dag-on-it, that original version was just too catchy of a tune. I don't ever seem to find myself humming the new one.

Overall this is a good album. If you've never heard this band before, pick it up. They've got a pretty unique sound and a gift to writing good songs. If you have heard them before, you might want to pass this up. If you are a fan of songs like You Always Say Goodnight,Goodnight, Constellation, and Moments...In A Fraction, then sorry, you won't find any songs that leave you with that type of satisfaction.
