2.0 out of 5 stars Wholly disappointing, January 5, 2005

By	M. Nock (England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Wholly disappointing

I bought this album on the basis of a free CD I got from a music magazine in the UK which had a B-side track of InMe's on - which sounded pretty good, nice heavy guitars, combinations of gravel voice and falsetto melodies making me think there's a great deal of potential in this new band.

On actually listening to the album, all potential was ruined, I was (and still am) massively disappointed.

I don't want to sound pompous, but I think it'd be an interesting show to see along with these glowing reviews also the age of the reviewer. I doubt very much any of these 4 & 5 star accounts come from anyone over 16. If like me you're in your mid to late 20's, you've been through the joy of sitting in your room in the dark listening to Pearl Jam being a mopey teenager and so songs with lyrics like "I could cry, my time has come and I am stupid and forever sad" just evoke a cringing response which is an instant embarrassing turn off.

The album gives the impression it's more of an advert for the bands Boss pedal collection then any mark of thoughtful song writing, I've not analysed it, but I'm sure in some songs there's guitar parts for 5-6 different effects pedals. Instead of giving the effect of having a multi layered interesting track, it just sounds like he's showing off what he had for Christmas "well I've just got Flanger Mk II... may as well use it".

You could replace the title of any track with "Teenage angst" and it'd still make perfect sense. You write from your experiences, granted, although if your experiences constitute being dumped for the 1st time and working in a shoe shop at the weekend I'd rather not hear it.

4.0 out of 5 stars InMe best uk band?, December 29, 2003

By A Customer

InMe are my favourite band which is quite amazing considering ive never had a favourite band. Overgrown Eden is catchy and addictive albumn and is very well done for their first albumn. Songs like "Lava Twilight" and "Neptune" have that unforgetable "inme" guitar sound which makes it very catchy. Especially when you hear Dave McPhereson use the three different levels of singing(screams,normal and high).
Even though there are just three of them it still makes agood sound and they will probably go far if they continue to release albumns.
In InMe they all look different too which is soooo much easier to recognise and know names inlike some bands when they all look the same, and cant tell a difference between them.
One last thing to say is to definately get the albumn!!!!!!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars InMe Rule!, August 17, 2003

A Kid's Review

Dave McPherson's singing brings the house down everytime.
Listen to Crushed Like Fruit and you'll know what they mean by "loud". Kerrang are right, life is loud and so is this.
It's a shame they didn't use the version from the video of Crushed Like Fruit because that was a touch more catchy.
They is not 1 track on this album that is rubbish at all.
InMe make each song individual from each other so there's something for everyone.

What adds as a bonus (to me) is Her Mask because it is calmer than other songs.

InMe will definately win Best British Band this year in the Kerrang Awards 2003 so get voting! ...InMe rule so get this album!!
