4.0 out of 5 stars Good C.D. from start to finish..., August 31, 2005

By	refug68 (Toronto, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews

I discovered this band out of the slimmest of chances. Having acquired a copy of a football related Video game looking for a version of the then un-released Chevelle Song "The Clincher", I stumbled upon a song that caught my attention. Before I had heard "Piece by Piece" I had no clue who Strata was, but the one song was enough to spark an interest. Having come by other songs via the Internet, I decided to order this c.d. from the States (as it wasn't on sale in Canada back in October of 2004) and I was instantly blown away.

The opening track "Piece by Piece" is one of a kind. A hard abrasive anthem that starts off the self titled debut like a kick to the head. The C.D. follows up with other greats, such as the extremely catchy "I Will Breathe Fire", the first single off the record "The Panic", and Strata's live show opener "When it's All Burning". The c.d. continues to pound with catchy songs like "Never There", "Today" and "Waiting", and closing off the debut album with the appropriate "In a Sweet Dream". The only major problem with the c.d. is the holes in between. Tracks like "Just Like Silk" "We've Changed" "Trustkilltrust (Instrumental)" and "You are Eternal" seem to drag on forever. The band also puts up an AMAZINGLY outstanding live show, and has what seems to be enough talent to move forward. This self titled Debut C.D. COULD be a must have for the c.d. collection in the very near future.

This cd is worth the buy, all tho its not avable in canada yet, it will be in March!. They were very good live and every track on this cd is awesome! Also met the band after the show they were nothing but nice guys. hope you enjoy this album as much as I do!

5.0 out of 5 stars Strata is awesome =P , July 27, 2004

By	Jill "a music fanatic" (Edison, NJ, USA) - See all my reviews

Strata is a new band coming straight out of California and they're unlike any other band you've ever heard. They've got an unique sound that you should defitnely try listening to. You can sample their album at www.stratadirect.com. Listen to the song 'Piece by Piece' or 'The Panic' and I guaranteed you'll be blown away. I recommend anyone who likes them to see them live. I saw them at Snocore tour with Smile Empty Soul and Trapt. Let me tell you...they were beyond amazing =) Best of all, I got to meet Hrag and he was so cool. BUY THIS ALBUM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE... YOU'LL LOVE IT! IT'S GREAT! THERE ISN'T A MEDIOCRE SONG OUT OF THE WHOLE CD! ALL PURE EXCELLENCE.
