3.0 out of 5 stars The Story Behind the Record, April 1, 2007

So here's the deal: Several months after parting ways with American Head Charge (fall 2003) I got a call from a friend in the industry who knew I was looking for a new gig. He told me there was a band that had a deal with Lava/Atlantic and did Ozzfest and some other descent tours but their old manager was a chump and their rhythm section deserted them. They were looking for a new bassist and drummer and wanted to get an electronics/keyboard guy. The new manager was putting the band up in Vegas and keeping them fed while they worked on new material to demo for Lava. I got the first record and heard potential so I flew out to Vegas. Everyone seemed really cool and our jam sessions went well so I decided to stay. We recorded a bunch of songs for Lava but the label was in turmoil and our A&R guy left the company. Not suprisingly, we were dropped along with many many other acts. We stayed in Vegas trying to figure out the next move.

Several months later our bassist Stitch hooked us up with some radio festival gigs in CA through his old bandmate Ivan from Motograter. The next thing I know we're in the studio trying to turn the demo recordings into a record in the space of a week. Our manager had hooked up a great deal with a major box chain to put the record into stores in any region where we were active via radio or touring. He wanted to get things kicked off in CA right away, so we struggled to at least get some guitar and vocal overdubs tracked, and give it a more focused mixing, in the short amount of time available. I had no chance to fix or add anything (all my parts had been tracked out of my Mac's headphone jack, they were demos).


and btw all the electronics were done by myself (though there are some guitar parts you might think are electronics or vice versa).Toby Wright just did alternate mixes for a couple of the tracks not "remixed" in the NIN, Prodigy sense of the word. Though he did turn my parts up and killed the guitars in the verses of "Fighting Me" >;o>

1.0 out of 5 stars Major Dissappointment, December 21, 2004

By

This review is from: Resurrection (Audio CD)

I instantly became a huge fan of Grade 8 when I heard their first album. It was one of those albums that you could just throw in your cd player and let it run through without having to skip a track.

When I saw that they had a new album coming out, I jumped for joy. But that was before I actually heard the album. Not only is it bad for Grade 8, it might be one the worst ive ever heard. It makes me sad that such a great band can put such garbage.

Here are my gripes.

1) The guitar riffs are no where near as awesome and mind-blowing as the first. They use a lot of DJ and just random sounds to fill out the songs, some of which are cool, but most of which suck and are just plain strange.

2) Ryan TRIES to sing.....oh man I thought he was dieing, cuz it sure sounds like he is. Theres almost none of his signature growling like on the last album. Terrible.

3) The lead singer tries to sing.....wait, did I already mention that?

I can honestly say that there are NO decent songs on this album. Please find somewhere on the internet (ie fye.com or some place like it) and listen to the tracks before you buy.

1.0 out of 5 stars Worse Than Their First, November 20, 2005

How did this band ever get funding for another album???
I actually picked this cd up in the $1.00 bin at a pawn shop the other day thinking it might be ok. Well... It's a musical disaster. This album is even worse than their first release. The music is boring, the guitar riffs are pathetic, and the singers voice is like finger nails on a chalk board. Sometimes it sounds like he actually has marbles in his mouth.
There are so many other good bands out right now, don't waste your money on this one.
