4.0 out of 5 stars blissful debut, August 3, 2001

This review is from: Trip to the 13th (Audio CD)

i'm waiting for this band to explode, and i'm wondering if it is going to happen in the following months. i really enjoyed this debut album from this excellent band. here's what to expect if you buy it:

the album is very similar to lifehouse's No Name Face. so, if you liked that album (if you didn't, you should listen to it again - it's amazing), i recommend this one also.

the cons: Trip to the 13th is nowhere as deep or as moving as the lifehouse album; none of the songs are over 4 minutes (which is really discouraging); glen ballard's production makes the good songs better and the bad songs blander; at least four of the tracks are practically indistinguishable. that said...

the pros: Paramount, Sooner or Later, and Defense are three of the best songs i've heard this year. I believe SoL is the first single, and it is very radio-friendly. Paramount is potentially a huge track for radio. Crazy World, Live, Do It Again, and Not Quite Paradise are the norm for Bliss66, (if i were to download a song to see if i liked the band, it would be one of these.) Defense, the last song on the album, is brilliant. Like Everything ending Lifehouse's album, it takes the sound created in the previous 10 songs and slows it, distorts it, and produces a beautiful result. These 3 songs alone are worth the price of the album.

i wrote a review for No Name Face several months before it went big, and it appears that i'm doing the same with this band. i wish them the same luck and think that any fan of M20, Lifehouse, etc. would be well served in picking up this album. buy it cheap while you still can.

a great album, Trip to the 13th really makes it's mark with tracks like Defense, Live, Paramount and Ain't This the Feeling... If you liked albums made by bands like Lifehouse and Familiar 48, then you'll also be taken with this one. it's not perfect, but all in all, this is a guaranteed "take your breath away" album from my point of view!

5.0 out of 5 stars wow., July 21, 2003

This may be my favorite cd ever. And that's coming from a guy with around 250 assorted rock and metal cds. It's almost undescribable as to how how much I love this cd. No matter the mood you're in, Bliss 66 will make your day. Perhaps some of the best driving music I've ever had.

I got the cd a few weeks ago after listening to the clips here. "Paramont" and "Trip" are two of the best songs I've ever heard, and the tunes and words will be forever stuck in your head. Not to mention, there's not one song I don't love. Some are going to stick with you more than others, but even songs that don't get as much attention as they should are only suffering because the entire album is so great.

I had no idea how much I would love this CD when I got it, and for someone with as many CDs as me, the fact that I listen to this every single day is saying something. If you are a fan of rock - any rock, you'll absolutely love this CD. Listen to the clips. Imagine the fact that the clips are no where near as good as the songs. Get the CD. You won't regret it at all.
