4.0 out of 5 stars Good move in ditching the rap, October 29, 2003

I think that 40 Below Summer's first album might have been more anthemic, but it had some elements of rap in there that I wasn't too thrilled with. This album doesn't really rely on standout songs, but is solid all the way through with great melody. Max has one of the greatest voices in all of rock. This isn't really a groundbreaking album or anything, but totally a solid effort that shows that they didn't have a sophomore slump. Good effort.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fly Away with "The Mourning After", February 15, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Mourning After (Audio CD)

An album of masters. It is so nice to see that there are bands out there capable of such work. Sadly, all the recognition gets focused on the limp bizkit's of the world. The feelings that 40 Below can create can only be accomplished by a band with superb skill and musicianship.

Fuelled by emotion and intense with direction, "The Mourning After" will absorbed you, taking you on a journey away from pain and ignorance to a place where you can be open and secure. It soothes with its euphoric dreamlike guitar sequences as displayed in "Breathless", but at the same time it roars with ferocity in "A Season in Hell".

All the tracks use both tones to paint a picture, and inside the picture lies the genius of 40 Below Summer. A band like this reminds that real music isn't doomed... it's just like the people who create and listen to it... on the outside of everyone else.

One of the best of 2003.

Newark NJ has something to be really proud of. 40 Below Summer one of the greatest recently new bands you will ever hear. The Mourning After 40BS second release left me with my jaw dropped with vocals Max Illidge was incredible the band does a great job. With the current hit single "Self Medicate" makes the cd its own 40 Below took music to a new world with this Cd this is a 10 track masterpeice with a hidden bonus track i gurantee you you will get every pennies worth on this release if your as big of a fan as I check out their Debut "Invitation to The Dance"
