I got this and lsitened to selected tracks here and there. Then I saw them live and saw an originality newer punk bands dont often have. The more you listen to it the more you notice more and more layers of depth and emotion. There is a certain sincerity in the lyrics that sound too heartfelt from the singer. They have been around for 15 years with little to no commercial success. From their impossible to find European released thrashpunk husker-du type record "Communion", Funeral Oration are more than a punk band should be. The singer is extremely friendly and they are the one band that you can say did it for no other reason then the music.

"Lies for survival" is a track from one of their old European EPs, and shred with its tempo changes. A climactic ending to a record with such songs as "Wear my Heart", and "That's where I'm Now".

This is the best CD I've heard from Funeral Oration. If you like some of their songs then you'll love this CD. bottom line, no bull, buy this CD.

This Cd is so unexplainable. my friend listens to them for a while then i heard it in his car the next day i bought the Cd its one of the coolest CDs let alone bands out there. among the millions of CDs and MP3's i have Funeral Oration are the only one i can listen the whole way through i love each and every one of they're songs!

I heard them on a sampler and got the cd later. Now i want to buy all the cds out there. This band has been around as long as i have been alive that says alot. There hard fast and the vocals are VERY unique. If you like Millencolin then you will like Funeral Oration.

I liked this cd since the first time i listened to it. Every time i listen, it just gets better. The songs are very short, but they seem long. Get this album.

This album will likely sound jarring the first time you hear it but give it time. Eventually, you will not be able to get these tunes out of your head. The songs are short, tightly constructed and brooding, but unbelievably catchy. Guitars crash, crunch, stop and zoom off in completely different directions. Lyrically, the songs are little gems. Cuts 5 and 8 could easily be chartbusters if given any airplay.
