5.0 out of 5 stars Yep, this band will be BIG, September 23, 2008

I have seen this band live 3 times now. Amazing performance each time. This disc captures some of the raw, magnetic power that is Dead Confederate. No disc will ever do their live show justice.

Track Reviews
1) Heavy Petting (9/10) - A great rocking curtain jerking track to start this album off right.

2) The Rat (10/10) - This is the song that created the DC buzz. A rerecord from the earlier EP version. I like both recordings, but once again, this one does more justice to the live DC sound.

3) Goner (10/10) - DC had the demo for this song on their myspace page for while. This rerecord is better than the demo and this song just plain rocks with a slight southern twang.

4) It Was a Rose (9/10) - Lyrically, a masterpiece. Listen closely and be drawn in.

5) Yer Circus (8/10) - One of the albums low points, but still better than any of the crap you hear on the FM radio.

6) All the Angels (11/10) - Yes, an eleven. The haunting vocal melody in the verses sends chills down my spine.

7) Start Me Laughing (10/10) - Ultimate rock out w/ your cock out song.

8) The News Underneath (8/10) - Another low point, but can you really expect and album full of masterpieces?

9) Flesh Colored Canvas (10/10) - An absolute emotional roller coaster.

10) Wrecking Ball (9/10) - Title track. Metaphors galore.

If you can imagine a fusion of the best parts of Nirvana's greatist hits and Pink Floyd's powerful atmospheric sounds then you've got an idea of what Wrecking Ball sounds like. This southern Alt-rock band delivers raw emotion with strong instrumentation in a way that no other group currently on the scene does. Pick this album up now, so you can brag to your friends about how you knew them before they got big.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Refreshing, October 24, 2008

It's about time an album like this came out. "The Rat" originally got me into DC, as well as their EP (which I also strongly recommend). In the age of over-commercialized/over-recycled corporate garbage, such a raw and honest band is indeed very refreshing. Reminds of me of the first time I heard Pearl Jam's "Ten". I hope these guys become very successful
