5.0 out of 5 stars favorite band, April 15, 2005

saosin is an awsome band out of california. The vocals are amazing and fit the music dead on. The music is awsome, and can deliver you a great blend of screamo, emo, and post hardcore. The guys screaming needs a little bit of work, but other that that they are awsome. They have a lot more good songs on myspace, if anyone uses that. Their best song on this ep is translating the name, and their best song they have is one called i can tell. Saosin is my favorite band, for any fan of post, screamo, or just good music, this is the band for you.

I'm going to have to jump on the bandwagon and rate this item 5 stars. This is very impressive stuff. The first time I listened to it the drums in "Seven Years" left me breathless. The guitars are just beautiful, wonderful sounding chords in "They Perch...." Words just can't describe how wonderful these songs are.

Standout Tracks:
*Lost Symphonies-the intro is amazing and Anthony does a wonderful vocal job
*They Perch on Their Stilts Pointing and Daring Me to Break Custom-this song is just too short for me but great nonetheless. I love the lyrics and the chorus is awesome. You don't get sick of this song because the vocals/sound change throughout the song. It's not the same old verse-chorus-verse pattern

And if you love Anthony Green as much as I do download these songs!

First of, let me say that, if it were possible, I would make love to Anthony Green's voice. Over and over again. That's how damn good it is. Wether he's singing or screaming, his voice spews emotion. It's haunting, powerful, expressive, and just downright beautiful. The music accompanying his voice is just as powerful. The guitarists know exactly what they're doing on this EP. They are somehow able to combine catchiness with heavy guitars, and end up with Post-Hardcore that gets stuck in your head. The guitars, bass, and drums are all relentless on the album. There's never a light, slow song or break in furious action. It's all right in your face, dazzling, harsh, and beatiful all at once.
And, let's not forget the lyrics. They are sometimes slightly vague, but you can always tell what emotion they're trying to express. Anthony's voice helps a lot, as well. Really, I think his voice is the best part of the EP. It's too bad he left, but his replacement isn't too bad.
