Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Over the past decade, New Jersey has earned a reputation for breeding some of the most prolific and genre shattering punk and hardcore acts in the modern circuit (Lifetime, Thursday, The Dillinger Escape Plan). Enter ska metal pioneers Folly. Their follow-up to "Insanity Later" packs a louder bark and groovier upstrokes. "Challenging preconceptions and destroying boundaries are precisely what Folly are about...genuinely exciting and entertaining, as all good rock music should be" - Rocksound.

4.0 out of 5 stars Overall, not too shabby, April 3, 2006

By	Steve Stairs "Steve" (Connecticut) - See all my reviews

This release by folly was overall a pretty well put together cd. It was more diverse than insanity later. An even blend of punk, hardcore, and ska. I felt, however, that the demo version of "broken" was filled with more emotion, like their live performances. The album version was too fast paced, and it made me feel like it was just quickly put together, when in reality, "broken" is an incredible song. I wasn't feeling the intensity in the album version, leaving me rather disappointed, and more than willing to change the track. But with a more diverse sound, with some tracks with a more ska vibe, and some tracks with a more hardcore vibe, I felt more intrigued to continue listening to the rest of the album, moreso than insanity later. Although the overall content in resist convenience was not even close to topping insanity later, making the album more diverse as they did, I feel, will only make them stronger. Good album. 3 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible Awesomeness, September 14, 2006

By	Ben Holt - See all my reviews

This is my favorite CD that I bought this year. It's really energetic and emotional and I love the lead singer's voice. "Broken" is an incredible song and it stands out among the rest. It's musical and Folly has some real talent. There's a really nice contrast between the loud parts and the soft parts and I love how he transitions from singing to screaming. It sounds like the lyrics are coming from his soul when he screams, because it sounds natural, not just low-pitched growling like a lot of heavymetal bands. This is the greatest blend of awesomeness I have ever heard.

5.0 out of 5 stars this album is tits, February 21, 2006

By	balls deep (Mahwah, NJ United States) - See all my reviews

If you liked insanity later than this is pretty much a continuation of that cd. The style is the same, a little bit more ska in some parts, but the drumming has gotten significantly more insane. overall pretty badass tunes from these little men. see them live if you can.
