A huge change from their past 4 albums, Vanishing Lessons can be a disappointment, or a refreshing change. The new vocalist (Luke Easter) suits this music very well. The guitars are hard enough for me but I still like the hardest TourniqueT better from the Pathogenic era. The leads are few and far between but they are still played well and are interesting. The drummer (Ted Kirkpatrick) is one of the best I've ever heard. But you can't tell that on this album. He is very good but not up to potential. This is a great album but I feel they could have done much better.

Amazing old school metal - driving guitars, pumping drums (from one of the world's best), you can't listen to this sitting down. Definately one of Tourniquet's best.

Vanishing Lessons and Crawl to China are two of the greatest CDs i own! Not as highly recomended as Crawl to China, but highly recomended none the less! Crawl to China is quite different from their other albums - more heavy rock than metal, like Metalica's new stuff. If you are into a more clasic metal album, check out this one and Miroscopic View.

THIS CD AFTER GUY RITTER LEFT AND LUKE STEPPED IN FOR VOCALS BECAME MORE OF A THRASH ORIENTED CD.YOU CAN HEAR TED'S DW DRUM ALOT BETTER AND CLEARER.THIS IS ANOTHER MUST FOR ANY FAN.BUY IT AND YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!!

this group is one the best groups i've ever heard their record vanishing lessons got me into playing guitar i've been playing for about a year and a half and they are my inspiration anybody who has any information on their whereabouts now or any information on them or how i can in touch with them please e-mail me at mwsk8@verinet.com thank you and buy their record!

This CD is awesome. Notice I gave it a "5 out of 5". The first song I ever heard was from this CD, and it was Acid Head.I kept asking my dad to play it over and over again. It was cool. Now I have Vanishing Lessons, Crawl To China, and Where Moth And Rust Destroy. And Acid Head is still my favoritest song.

this cd kicks but. the guitar work is fanatastic. the lyrics are awesome. my fav. song is k517. it is a drum solo but he is the best in the world. all around this cd rocks.

tOURNIQUET IS OVERALL THE BEST BAND OUT THIER. This Cd was the second cd i got of thiers. It rocked. it still does 2 years later. If you are tired of cookie cutter bands get this cd. Ted Kirkpatrick is the best drummer and best songwriter i know of. The guitar on this cd rocks and the drumming just ripps. I recomend this cd to anyone, however their Crawl To China, Acoustic Archives, and Microscopic view rock even more. I highly recomend Cralw to China, That cd made me like heavy music,and for 3 years has been my favorite cd. I recomend all of tourniquets cds.

Anyone who is tired of the rehashed metal BS that you are hearing from guys like Rob Zombie and Marylin Manson. This will definetly wake you up. There is no beautiful people, dragula's, walking dead girls, or crappy remakes of old songs. It's all lyrics that get your mind out of the media driven environment we so helplessly get chained to. If you like rock, metal, upbeat music for that matter, then give it a shot. If nothing else you'll have a 12.99 coster, but i doubt it. Clear Vocals, Sweet Guitar job, and some of the best drums create the perfect metal songs you will ever hear, if you like metallica you'll love Tourniquet.

I beg you, if you're a Tourniquet fan, or even just a fan of good metal, please don't bother with this album. The new lead singer is bad, and the music doesn't seem to have the feeling of the older albums. Buy anything they released before this, and leave their new stuff alone.
