Editorial Reviews

Arizona-based hard rock band, The Bled, have decided to reissue their now out-of-print full length debut, Pass the Flask on Vagrant Records. The original album was released on the now-defunct Fiddler Records.

The original version of Pass the Flask has become a hard-to-find item and the band has previously been unable to sell the disc at their shows. This new version also features some of the bands first two EPs, HIS FIRST CRUSH and THE AMBULANCE ROMANCE, along with a few more recent original and unreleased tracks. --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Quality Metalcore, January 27, 2005

First off, there seems to be way to many kiddies listening to this to get an honest opinoin of them. A lot of these reviews are obviously written by 100% completely biased little kids who seem to be following a trend, that will unfortunately kill music like this.
The Bled may not be the best of their genre, but man are they up there. I have seen many poeple refer to them as screamo,which I guess is resonable, but instead of comparing them to bands such as Underoath and Senses Fail, who sound nothing like them, I am going to try to help you get a better idea of their sound.
Think of metalcore mixed with screamo. It has its heavy parts, but it doesn't need to stay completely heavy throughout an entire track to sound good. Vocals are superb, though some people may be turned off by the constant screaming. If you think you might be, then don't bother. It also has its times of peace though, for example the begining of the song "Porcelian Hearts and Hammers for Teeth." Overall this was less of a review and more of a rant at people who make bad reviews.

4.0 out of 5 stars Can't quite place the sound..., March 6, 2005

I enjoy this album quite a bit. I can describe their sound best as a mix between Thrice, At The Drive-In, and maybe the tiniest bit of Thursday, with a healthy dose of metalcore as the main ingrediant. The songs are very erratic at times, which is a nice step back from predictable breakdowns that just don't make you listen twice. Overall, the songs each have their own features which gives the album a flow without sounding uncreative and mediocre. And from what I understand, they kill live. So, give amazon.com some business and pick it up like I did.

The guy who posted the last remark about The Bled wouldn't know a good band if it slapped him on his fat and probably red neck.
