all i can say is wow. amazing guitars, oh so talented. strong vocals and gut wrenching screams. I was skepticle when i picked up this release, i mean i heard it was good, but this definitely surpassed any notion I had of what 'good' was. It's simply a solid all round release. great songs to fit. any fan of thursday, further seems forever, shai hulud, etc. would definitely be all about this band!!!

Hailing from Riverside, California, this 4 piece emotional rock band hits hard with their first full-length release. Notice i didnt say emo, because the emo bands of today are totally different that the sound of TBM. Josh Hagquist's voice is very melodic and soothing as it works its way in and out of Shawn's gut wrenching screams. Blazing, techincal, and driving guitars are commanded by the precision drums of Armin Chami, and its all backed by the simple yet adequete basslines of Johnny Minesota. The songs are not typical "oh please love me songs" of most watery emo bands today. Their lyricism is that of self-damnation and realizing personal flaws. Songs deal with substance abuse, child abuse, lost friends, and dealings with God. Best songs on the CD: Stavesail, Circular Parade, Light a Match..., Narnian Analogy, and For a Friend. I highly recomend that you buy this CD...

this band is awesome. they balance emotional screams with melodic guitar work. i recently saw this band play at a local pub in orlando and they did one of the best performances i have seen in awhile..raw energy intense screams...sweeeet deal. and yes u must buy this cd....!

This is the emo-punk sound of the future, for a cult fans of emo and post-hardcore, this band is aweasome, like Thursday, Further Seems Forever(check their upcoming album "how to star a fire"), At The Drive in-continues in Sparta , The Used, Staring Back, Slow Coming Day , Racing Daylight, Over it, they put the emotion and power to the next level,thanks and respect for each band, for exist and make creative music¡¡¡¡¡¡

i heard these guys from just downloading random music online, and they are still one of the best bands ive heard in a long time. the music fits perfectly with the lyrics, and the voices really show how painful things can be. a band worth looking for

...I'm just confused why there are reviews for The Beautiful Mistake's album "Light a match for I Deserve to Burn" below..

I've heard them live and they are awesome. After that show I have their cd and I love listening to it all the time now, their songs stick in your head for a while because they are so catchy.

The guys are fun to hang out with as well. Ask Jon about Kill Brand Clothing, he'll be happy that you asked.

The date of Sept. 22, 2002, was the highly anticipated release date of The Beautiful Mistake's release of "Light a Match, For I deserve to Burn." From beginning to end, filled with melodic vocals of voice and screams, mixed with crunching guitars, the debut album on the Militia Group packs a punch into your ears. The cd starts off with "On Building" reminding listeners of bands such as Thursday and Further Seems Forever. It ends with a teriffic song, "For a Friend," that has a powerful message about a friend, as you can tell, from the title. Throughout the the record, the lyrics are amazingly well developed, having a strong passion of words. It looks and sounds as if God streched out his hand and guided the band perfectly, throughout the songwriting and music making. "Light a match, for i deserve to burn" is a record that will attract listeners of any kind. Once you engage your ears into the magnificent display of work done by the Beautiful Mistake, your ears will bleed in glory.

I bought "Light a Match..." when it came out. I've listened to it every day since then. How can you not? The first time I listened to it my ears did a happy dance. This CD is absolutely amazing. The lyrics are incredible and the music is just awesome. I can't get enough of it. Wow, its just great. So if you appreciate the finer things in life...or if you have ears, then buy this CD.

these guys rock. this cd is so awesome, it's got the combo of singing and screaming. sweet guitars and melodies. no one should live without this cd. it's definetly a top 5 of all time.
