4.0 out of 5 stars Down here on the farm., October 1, 2004

This review is from: Other Side (Audio CD)

The Other Side is the fourth album of the German Farmer Boys. It is not easy to put a label on the band. The guitars are groovy and sometimes sound like bands like Pantera and Prong, although they do not sound as heavy as those bands. The vocals are both melodic and melancholic. The songs are vocal orientated, short and catchy, but there are some interesting instrumental parts. If I would label it, I would say the band plays modern sounding metal with an alternative touch. Because the theme of the album is movies, there are musically a few hints to films and series. The production is excellent and with a little more support from their record label this band can become very popular outside Germany. I highly recommend this album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Gothipop Metal!, August 2, 2004

I have to start by saying that I'm a very open minded metal head. I like everything from Iron Maiden to Emperor or HIM to Neurosis. So, I like the Farmer Boys - The Other Side because it's got some heavy riffs when needed and just basicaly some catchy vocal/riff hooks. If your a fan of the German/Finish Goth Metal (i.e. Evereve/HIM) scene you'll probably like this. If they were from the states they probably would be bigger with too much radio play, so I'm glad they're not. It's on Nuclear Blast records, so they're are not like the majority of heavier bands on their roster. So, listen with a open-mind.

These guys have the daftest name in rock, don't they? Even stupider once you hear this mature, pounding, wonderfully cool album.

Clean and dynamic production, intelligent lyrics, strong choruses follow tuneful verses; masterful performances all round.

Think Smashing Pumpkins mixed with latter day, heavier Porcupine Tree.

Buy two because you will want to tell people about them.
