Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Seattle's Kane Hodder isn’t just another post-hardcore screamo outfit. Critical listens to this 11-track release reveal elements of contemporary prog, traces of pop (both are evident on the gorgeous "You Sign Your Crimes With A Silver Bullet") and just plain well-written songs--"I Think Patrick Swayze Is Sexy" and "Too Much Eddie Kendricks, Not Enough David Ruffin"--separate this band from its contemporaries. This is an emotionally ("A Machine In The World Of Man") and musically (take your pick) complex ride from front to back that may very well surprise skeptics. The Pleasure To Remain So Heartless isn’t without its bumps but it is close enough that you quickly forgive whatever faults you find and embrace the album as a refreshing entry into the furious and frenzied world of contemporary rock. You might call this a blueprint for something greater, and what a fascinating blueprint it is. -- Jedd Beaudoin

5.0 out of 5 stars The Pleasure to Remain So Heartless, June 17, 2005

This is an outstanding record. Not without its flaws, but it is an amazing release from an amazing band. As soon as you put this CD in, you will experience the gut-wrenching, indie/hardcore onslaught like a bullet to the stomach. A band that can incorporate fluid, experimental yet impressive guitarwork, hardcore-style drumming, and vocals that are some of the most diverse in the music scene today into one multi-genre bending sound deserve more recognition than Kane Hodder get. This is one of the few hardcore records that will have you dancing away, and feeling good about yourself. The vocalist/lyricist writes fantasticly and sometimes bitterly honest lyrics ranging from sex to sports casters to more sex and back again. The guitarists are great at what they do, in such a manner that they can write a flawless 21-second dual solo ("I Think Patrick Swayze is Sexy"), and they have created multiple instances of guitar mastery that will set you ablaze. The drums and bass continually flow in a constant motion throughout the record, and the bassist also shows listeners he has the ability to play along his blazing conterparts on guitar ("Heaven Help Me! I Love a Psychotic!").

This record is incredible, never ceasing to amaze and never letting up. Kane Hodder grab the listener by the senses and never let you go on this release, and it is nothing short of a masterpiece. To choose a stand-out track would be an understatement: this band has written a record that takes memorable to a whole new level.

Not much to say. These songs kick ass, and their energy makes it really great. I don't really understand the negative reviews. I play jazz, so this sort of band is totally not my thing.. but I was looking through my old cd's the other day and I put this one on and remembered how much I loved it.

ok, so i NEVER write reviews, because really its a waste of time to me. but in this case im making it a point to, because there is so much trash talk about this album from people that obviously have NO clue what theyre talking about...

first off, when i first bought this cd a while ago, i didnt know what to think... these guys are just all over the place. with their crazy guitars and their shifty vocals, i was baffled... i didnt know whether to hate it or love it. and of course, as many times as that happens to me, i give it another try. and i loved it! this is the height of originality... i cant think of a single other band that i can even come close to comparing them to. im not going to get into explaining every guitar riff and every lyric, im just giving an honest opinion. will you like it? only if you like totally original stylings with mixes of screaming, heavy guitars, almost opera singing, mad drum beats, and chaos...
