5.0 out of 5 starsasdf
By Heartfailure on September 2, 2005
Format: Audio CD
I look behind me just to make sure I'm alone every time I listen to this

I'd buy this CD alone for Farewell Note To This City, but...Dead, The Saddest Day, Albatross, For You, I could go on

Buy it, and then buy Jane Doe, and then try not to jump out a window

5.0 out of 5 stars"These holes in my hands are for you"
By kevin souza on February 4, 2000
Format: Audio CD
Converge defintely hits hard with this one. Right from the 7 min. long epic first track "Saddest Day" to the insane live performances of "Homesong" "Antithesis" and "For You". I will admit, the disc didn't hit me right away and it is sort of an aquired taste with Bannon's voice being as crazy as it is but after about 3 full listens I was completely sold. Their live performance will leave you speechless and wanting more. I highly recommend all of converge's release's to any metal/hardcore fan looking for something out of the ordinary. Also check out coalesce, dillinger escape plan, and today is the day.

5.0 out of 5 starsIt's Converge, What Else Needs To Be Said?
By Chris Conlan (BreakingCustom.com) on May 22, 2005
Format: Audio CD
Review by Mike Watson:

The long awaited Converge reissues have FINALLY surfaced, and Converge fanatics nation, and even worldwide are rejoicing as there is even more need to own Converge merchandise. The newly re-done CDs have been given new life through the mastering genius of Godcity Studios and the brilliant art-work of frontman Jacob Bannon. The initial records of both albums, although ground breaking and amazing albums, were both fairly poorly recorded and mastered leaving fans with an unquenched thirst for the clear quality of the music.

Converge has quenched that thirst and more with the newly re-released albums. Both albums have been given complete new life and sound astonishing compared to their original releases. The sound quality on the re-issues is leaps and bounds beyond the original pressings, making the albums far more enjoyable and easily listenable. The most noticeable difference is on Petitioning the Empty Sky. Petitioning was originally recorded fairly empty and powerless, the re-issue however blows the listener away, re-mastered in a way that things in-audible on the original release are now made very apparent.

The Converge re-issues are an absolute must have for any Converge fan.

4.0 out of 5 starsAmazing? Of course! Necessary..........?
By 123nick456789 on March 24, 2005
Format: Audio CD
The music on this CD is more professional, more polished, and definitely more pummeling than the previous incarnation. But is that better?! Perhaps that depends on how you feel about the original.

I've poured over this album, and the re-release of When Forever Comes Crashing, non-stop since they were both released two days ago. In the opinion of this reviewer, WFCC desperately needed the face-lift. God knows the sound quality on that album was wretched and had to be overhauled- I couldn't even listen to it and enjoy it. But Petitioning an Empty Sky has always been great, no concerns with sound quality at all. The Saddest Day, Forsaken, Color Me Blood Red, the album is littered with classic Converge tracks. Are they improved on this album? Yes and no. Saddest Day re-mastered is unbelievable. That track just leaps off the CD and kicks your ass. However, in the case of Color Me Blood Red, I think the new version is worse- the guitar riffs that I've always loved in that song are almost completely eclipsed by the bass, drums, and vocals.

HOWEVER that's my only complaint about this CD. Would I buy it again? Oh heck yeah. I'd probably pay double just to add this beauty to my collection. The new interior liner notes are chock-full of awesome art by Aaron Turner of Isis, as well as an absolutely kick-ass slip cover, picturing the awesome red painted devil guy you probably saw at the top of this page.

As a bonus, the last song is an alternate version of Love As Arson. God what a fantastic track.

So the bottom line is this. Converge fans: buy this, but keep your original as well. I've been listening to Petitioning for so long I'm happy to have new versions to rock out to as well, and most Converge fans are likely to feel the same way.

5.0 out of 5 starsThis is it
By Beamer on June 9, 2004
Format: Audio CD
The band that brought metalcore to the masses with their strongest CD.
The Saddest Day is a true anthem, rightfully so. Amazing live, almost as good on the CD.
If you have any interest in hardcore you know this band and you know this CD. Odds are you're replacing the one you've scratched.
If you have a budding interest in hardcore this might not be the best starting point, but you'll need this CD down the road, consider it essential.
And if you're a Trustkill fan just throw out your CDs and buy this one. You'll be a better man for it.

4.0 out of 5 starsA review that says something (hopefully)
By harlekein on November 16, 2002
Format: Audio CD
This CD has been with me for a while as a burnt copy, but I recently bought it. Looking for a good price I came across here and was a bit annoyed about the reviews. Some are okay, but way too short to say anything substancial.
Someone said you have to like Megadeth to like Converge. Well, I can't stand Megadeth or any of those hair-metal bands from the 80's, early 90's, so I guess Converge touches a diverse audience.
If you don't know Converge yet it will take you by surpise. It is very loud and chaotic and it takes a while to notice the beauty in between the noise. This band is very technical and very unique, mixing noise with melody and having influences from punk, metal and hardcore and I can easily say it set a new sound taken further (or into another direction, I don't want to say Converge is standing still) by some of todays bands like Majority Rule. I really can't think of anything to compare it too, but if you like Dillinger Escape Plan, I'm positive you'll love Converge as well. Where DEP focusses more on technical sounds and structures, Converge mixes such elements with raw emotion. The lyrics are beautifully poetic and sad and the vocals grabs you by the troath.
The production on this album is lacking now and then, but not enough to bother me. If you haven't got anything by Converge yet, I recommend Jane Doe above PTES. It shows how the band perfected its style. If you do have Jane Doe already, you need this CD as well to hear an earlier stage of the band. This is more raw, less composed, but there are some tracks you just don't want to miss. The CD doesn't form such a united theme as Jane Doe, but offers its strength in diversity, exploration and emotion.
I recommend this CD to anyone who enjoys hardcore that takes the genre out of its punk roots into a whole new sound.
