5.0 out of 5 stars A Rope of Faith, May 6, 2006

By	Eric Wilson "novelist" (Nashville, TN United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)

I'd never seen or heard As Cities Burn, but after numerous good reviews here, I decided to give their music a shot. I love hard music, especially if it deals with faith in realistic terms.

I read through the lyrics before listening to the disk, and I was blown away by the poetic, yet gut-wrenching honesty, of these words. Then, I listened through the songs. I wasn't overwhelmed at first by the music, but it was decent. Then, I listened again. It started to grow on me. By the third and fourth spins, I was hooked on this CD.

If you are like me, sick of "worship" music that doesn't address real issues and emotions, tired of run-of-the-mill radio rock, you simply must give As Cities Burn a try. This is music that wades through life's questions and frustrations, while never letting go of the rope of faith.

5.0 out of 5 stars simply amazing, April 15, 2006

By	Karen L. Long - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

When i got to buy cd's I usually have a few in mind that i've been wanting for a while , but when i get there they either A)Our out of stock for that cd or B)i have second thoughts on getting it. So i was looking through the cds and I saw this just sitting there and i thought, what the hell. Bought it, popped it in my cd player and was blown away by the opening of Thus from my Lips...i was hooked. At first this cd confused me. I couldnt find a steady beat/rythm on the drums or any melody or sync in the guitars...and this is why its amazing. I havn't had a nice break from the Screamo/Emo scene is a while, and i was so use to the cliche riffs and verses. Which brings up another thing. I've yet to notice a Verse/Chorus style in this cd, its basically singing poetry.


I could go on with my rambling, but i wont

This is by far the greatest cd i've ever owned disregarding other reviews ive made. This is serious talent

5.0 out of 5 stars wow, March 16, 2007

By	Benjamin Moureau-lucadamo "Ben" (New York) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Took my breath away the first time I heard this cd (which was today). I've decided to write a review while it's still novel. Most would put these guys with Underoath (Christian hardcore), but they are a lot better. The lyrics are well crafted, and though they have religious undertones it still can have multiple interpretations. The best part of the band is the guitar playing which reminds me of early Hopesfall/Further Seems Forever (well layered). It's not that the music is full of technical impressive playing, it's melodic, and at times beautifully chaotic.

I you like/dislike the review, let me know. Thank you.
