I too do not own their first CD yet, mainly cause the store doesn't have it in stock even though it says it does, but still, I have the two demo CD I got at their concert at the Detour, they were absoutly amazing! I was not really the kind of person to like rock but they blew me away! Now I love it(and all rock), their songs have so much meaning to both them and whoever listens to them. It will make you see the world, government and life in a whole new way. I'd like to thank them for making this CD avilable for everyone to enjoy.I think everyone should own this CD!

I saw these guys at a show with Alexis on fire and Silverstein at the Graceland in seattle. They opened for the other bands but personally i liked them better than the others, adding a hardcore sound to the more emo bands that were there. so i saw them a couple more times, bought their CD, and i love it. every song is incredible, a great blend of (good) metal and (real) punk. they give a really good Misfits feel to the screamo genre. their live presence is nigh indescribable, and having spoken to the band several times, they clearly care about their fans. while other bands sort of sit there and play on stage, Aiden makes even the largest venues feel like a nice small one. They seem to end each show the same way they end their cd, with the song 'the world by storm'. the chanting of 'its in our heads, its in our hearts, the world by storm' is what really makes the show feel special. i suppose this album might feel different if you havent seen them live, and if you get the chance, jump on it, you wont regret it.

Aiden, comprised of Will Franco, Nick Wiggins, Angel Ibarra, Jake Wambold, and Jake Davison... Ive been to 2 of their shows,
both times they were awesome, if you are into punk/metal, Avenged Sevenfold, HIMSA, AFI, Atreyu, you will really enjoy this band...Check these guys at a show..WWW.Aiden.org

This is a great punk/screamo band. Straight out of Washington.
BUY THIS ALBUM!!! Or face the wrath of our gang!

Well I don't have this album (yet) but I do have a demo I got while seeing them along with Bleeding Through and Himsa. I know the 2 songs on the demo are on the CD and that's reason enough for me to buy it. The songs are really really good in my opinion, metal and punk in one (a damn good combination). I personally think Aiden sounds like older (and better, to me) AFI. So if you like the Shut Your Mouth/All Hallows E.P. era by AFI, this is the album for you.

After years of waiting die-hard Aiden fans finally get there wish with the rerelease of Our Gangs Dark Oath, their album released prior to being signed to Victory Records. What will this album show us that their debut Victory album didn't? Well, nothing.

If you're under the impression that this band was somehow better prior to being inked to Victory you would be sadly mistaken--they still lack an original bone in their bodies and just happen to be riding a high wave that bands like AFI and Thrice abandoned in order to mature.

Surprisingly enough, the vocals on this album are actually better than those on Nightmare Anatomy. Standard upbeat tempo's and screamed (struggling screams really) verses during ""I Set My Friends on Fire"" set the tone for this album. Aggressive in the most pop sense of the word, intense in the over-dramatic HIM style and just enough whine to appeal to the 12-15 year old emo kid. There isn't much to say about this album. If you liked their first disc, you'll probably like this... if you hated the first album, take heart, this album is pretty much the same thing.

For Fans of: Thrice, AFI, My Chemical Romance
