Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Out of the murky graveyards and misty catacombs of Long Beach, California, arise I Am Ghost. Possessing powerful, melodic songwriting chops far beyond their years, these 5 young musicians quickly came to the attention of Epitaph founder Brett Gurewitz after just 4 shows, theatrical, visually compelling shows that have become the talk of Long Beach's thriving post emo/indie rock scene. Intricate and captivating, I Am Ghost moves seamlessly through indie rock, metal and hardcore, while keeping melody at the forefront to tug at the souls of their fans; their female violin player/background singer gives the band a distinctive, haunting beauty. With bands like My Chemical Romance making a huge impact right now, I Am Ghost is a band to watch for in 2006! 9 tracks. 2005. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 stars We Are always searching for new bands, May 30, 2006

By	MPD 360 (Sri Racha, Thailand) - See all my reviews

And I just happened to fall on a great one! This band has a lot of potential and lost sof talents. They are in the vein of My Chemical Romance (but better) and Thrice (but not as good). I thought the doube vocals similar to Lacuna Coil's where a man and a woman are singing are very effective since they can reach a high set of notes. The music is slightly progressive, a bit goth, and quite emo, this is against all expectations a very good mix! The one thing I found annoying though, were the frequent blanks with weird music in it, although these are becoming more common and fit very well in some music, this band sometimes overdoes it.
The pianos and violins blend in very well with the rest of the music and they are what gives it that goth touch. The guitarists are quite talented, and there is a short but sweet solo in kiss me like you wanted. The singer sings pretty well, not great, but he screams a bit too much in this music where there should be long sentimental notes. It also sounds like he is trying to copy Gerard Way from MCR in some songs with the great big gasps and dog barks. The girl sings very well and has a beautiful voice, she is a nice original addition to this band.
Overall a very good album which I would rate 4.5 if I could

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing album for the fans....all for the fans, I Am Ghost, November 2, 2005

By	Anthony Montalbano (Rochester, MI) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've been listening to these guys since Feb 05 and I have to say, I've never been so impressed by a band with so much support from the fans and dedication to their fans. I remember when they promised to mail a free demo CD to all fans who submitted their addresses, and sure enough I got it. Purely for the fans, I Am Ghost. These guys are awesome. This is how I would give a review to their album:

Starting off with a dark surreal opening of "The Dead Girl Epilogue" that leads into a highly energetic "Pretty People Never Die...." is just awesome. The intensive break down in "Eulogies and Epitaphs" (which was actually a fan suggest song title) is so full of emotion and power it gives me an awesome feeling everytime I hear it, the type of feeling that makes your spine tingle. As the album continues "Lady Madeline In Her Coffin" is deep. This is probably my favorite song on the album, if I had to pick only one. The final song, "The Last Goodbye of Smile and Bone" is such a great way to end such a great album. I enjoy the added sound effects which give a visual of the story portrayed throughout the album. This band has a lot, they are very deep and intense. With the accented female vocals of Kerith and the truly unique voice of Steve, this music will seriously get your blood pulsating within your veins. I love it!

If you like dark, power punk rock, post hardcore music with such a beautiful collaboration of instruments and vocal talent that touches all sides of the audio spectrum, I Am Ghost's "We Are Always Searching" is the definitely the next album for you.
