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!
I've Been Dying to Reach You
3rd Measurement in C (acoustic)
Plays Pretty For Baby
I Have Become Everything That I Have Always Hated

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.

This is my favorite album of all time, even though it is only 5 tracks and 15 minutes long...
anthony green is the god of siging
the guitars are amazing and flow together beautifully
the drums.... heavenly, i dont know if there is an album where the drums match the music so perfectly (except the mars volta)
I have owned this CD for 9 months and I am still listening to it at least one time a day
no joke

I just can't get enough of this EP. Think I've listened to it maybe 5000 times (no I'm not exaggerating).

This is music at its very best. All five tracks are masterpieces.

Do yourself a favor and go buy this EP NOW!

This is definately some of the best emo/post-hardcore that's ever been recorded, and they only needed five tracks. Anthony Green is the best vocalist as far as "scene" bands go, and out of most contemporary rock music
(Circa Survive is even better). Drummer is tight, guitarists play cool technical/angular riffs. The band has never sounded as good as they did in Translating the Name. Packs a wallop of emotion.

This CD is so amazing I still listen to it.
(I got it like 3 years ago)
The vocals have to grow on you but when they do...

This is probably the 1st time i've been blown away with an EP. Saosin's Translating The Name is about heavy riffs and great chorus hooks and sometimes even confusing lyrics. it's hard to pin down a favourite track on this, but Lost Symphonies & 3rd measurement in C really hit the spot for me.

yea id have to agree with that dude downt there. 7 years is my favorite song. this band knows how to make music. i think this band is influenced by every good band i am, so they made music just for my liking. this band is soooooooo perfect words dont even begin to explain. buy this CD NOWWW!!!!!

If you havent heard Saosin yet I recommend that you buy thier cd here because when you hear thier insane guitars and jawdropping screaming you wont get enough.
