4.0 out of 5 stars Great band, Great CD, May 14, 2006

Crematory! These guys are great, I have a few of their old albums but this was the first one that I ever owned by the band. I can't say that they've ever really done anything I don't like, they're a really solid band. This CD is nothing short of incredible. I listen to various types of stuff, this is definitely not metal, it's more rock, but I love it. The CD (after the dumb intro) kicks off with the song 'Wake up'. Good chorushook melodic singing with added screams. This CD had me at the first song... I was completely impressed. Then, after a boring track comes an amazing song, 'Reign of Fear'. It's the most poppy, sing-along goth song I've ever heard but it's seriously amazing. The pianos keep it ever melodic while the drop B - tuned guitars keep it true to the goth sound, while the bass is very thick. The drumming isn't anything amazing, but I still like it a lot. Then after another boring song is another awesome track entitled 'Tick Tack'. It's written in german, so I have no clue what they're singing about, but it's certainly intense and very melodic as it is digital. The song right after this one is another standout track. Written in 3/4 time signature, it's certainly a different track from the rest on this CD, and one of my personal favorites.

Okay, so compare crematory, now, to their older stuff and it's a bit downhill... but the hooks are greatly melodic, the keyboards are alive and kicking and the bass is kicked up a notch. This cd is downright fun from the first track to the last, and I highly recommend it to any rock / hard rock fan.

I am a big Crematory Fan. I'm still debating if i really like this cd or not. It's definatly different then the usual Crematory. I'm just finding then alot of metal in general are using alot more electronic's. It still has the good Crematory elements. The deep growling 8O). You know the double vocal singing. The nice piano playing. Great synths, drumming, and guitars. Has nice eerie ambience. If you are a Crematory fan i do recommend that you pick it up. It's like they tried to put a mixture of Electronica and Metal it's really odd. Just cuz it's odd doesn't mean it's bad. "Reign of Fear" has that weird electronica feel to it. "Open your eyes" begins with piano then like it sounds like a dance beat kicks in it's really weird. I can kinda understand it though cuz it's like a love song. Crematory has always had a lil hint of electronica in them, but not like this. My favorite song has to be "Solitary Psycho" (I wonder why? Ha!). My least favorite song has to be "Tick Tack". I haven't really listened to it enuff to really make a deciding factor. I feel it growing on me though.

P.S. I really hate those metal heads that try to define what is metal and what is not. Music is art. Art is an expression.

5.0 out of 5 stars otherworldly metal, June 16, 2007

Crematory sounds more like "space metal" than it does gothic metal. it just goes to show that metal can be more than just guitar, bass, and drums. the instrumentation on this album works together instead of one thing being more dominant. Crematory also manages to have hardcore and clean vocals too.
