By Phillip Roncoroni VINE VOICE on November 12, 2005
As many people may know by now, Sony was recently caught with egg on their face when a security specialist found out that a recently purchased CD (Van Zant: Get Right With The Man) from Sony music not only installed DRM software (digital rights management, to limit and outright prevent copying music to certain devices), but it did so in such a sneaky way that it hid itself entirely from Windows, and opened the system up to security issues such as viruses.

This CD has the same copyright protection, called XCP. When installed, Sony hijacks your computer and installs custom software which:

1) Hides itself entirely from Windows by installing as a rootkit

2) Hides itself in such a manner that any files begining with $sys$ are also hidden. For example, if you install the XCP copy protection software on your machine, and rename "document.doc" to "$sys$document.doc" it then becomes invivisble to you forever.

3) Installs its own custom CD-Rom drivers to hijack your system. It also sneakily names these drivers "Plug and Play Device Manager" to seem as if it's a part of Windows. Trying to delete these drivers manually will disable your CD-Rom drive entirely.

4) Offers no uninstall option until you manually contact Sony

As of my writing this review, Sony has "apologized" for this incident, and claims they will "re-evaluate" this copyright protection software on their CDs in the future.

In the meantime, a virus is currently running wild, which names itself begining with $sys$ in an attempt to hide from the user and virus scanners.

Several class action lawsuits are also pending against Sony right now.

In summary, as you can tell from above, Sony's actions here are absolutely horrible. This is your music.

This CD contains a compromising DRM rootkit which can greatly affect the Windows operating system. Do not buy.

Life of Agony were once a heavy industrial sounding band, and now they are a heavy alternative-metal sound. Sort of like a cross between LOA, Velvet Revolver and STP. Amazing stuff. A lot of the reviews here are from people who love LOA's older albums, particularly River Runs Red - a GREAT album. You should definitely pick that up for the heavy industrial/melodic guitar-driven sound. THIS album is more vocal-driven, great in its own right. Most of Broken Valleys songs are amazingly written and the vocals are more mature and show greater range than previous LOA releases. Think of Broken Valley as Life of Agony: Version 2.

1. Love to let you down. ***** Tempo changes and aggro guitars highlight amazing melodic vocals. One of the best LOA songs, no wonder they open their sets with this song. A great breakdown gets the pit going...

2. Last Cigarette. ***** Any STP/Velvet Revolver fan should purchase this album for this song alone, which is better than any VR song and any song from STP's last 3 albums. Yet its still LOA somehow! The solos over the driving riff with the pounding snare and rythm that ends the song is the best.

3. Wicked Ways. *** "Should have known what those wounds have wanted..." Great lyrics and vocals the highlight.

4. Don't Bother. **** Another STP sounding song. The verses work well as the vocals follow the stop/start of the guitar riffs. And we have a great scale for the chorus. As usual, driving breakdowns from LOA. Song never lets up!

5. Strung Out. *** Gotta love it when LOA goes aggro during their breakdowns. The rest of the song is heartfelt, anthem driven chorus.

6. Junk Sick. ** Most people don't like the opening riff that repeats for the whole song. I agree. Sounds like an AIC/Dirt-like sound about drugs.

It's Life of Agony, but a little off-centered. Now, to help you better understand my perspective let me rate a few other Life discs. I think Ugly is their best cd...it was a nice blend of the heavy, and carried a little more of a melody focus than their debut. Soul Searching Sun had some great music, but Keith didn't provide the oomph to lead it; still not a bad cd. River Runs Red Again is a decent live compilation and you could feel there was a new energy reviving in the band...and I like many, couldn't wait to see that energy released. Well, we are still going to have to wait.

The disc has a whole new tone for Life, to be more exact, the guitar tone. It has a more modern Queen of the Stones Age vibe.

Don't expect Joey Z's crunchy riffs in this package. The riffs are few and far between. Another major setback is the mix of the cd. I can't put my finger on it, but it seems like the guitar, bass, and drums are weak and unbalanced. I've listened to this at least 8-10 times and I still can't put a pulse on it. Oh and the last track, Room 224, is fecal matter.

The upside is that Keith seems to have put a little more effort into the vocals this time around. There are some decent songs and majority of them may grow on you, but you have to allow it time to digest. Though, I wouldn't blame you if it just doesn't go down. Hopefully, they don't peter out and will heed the advice of their fans and bring back the punch.
