4.0 out of 5 stars Good Solid Release, March 7, 2006
So far in 2006 i have yet to be disappointed with my metal purchases. If Hope Dies newest CD is no exception.

Overall it is a good listen and a metal album down to its roots. I guess the only real reason i didn't give this CD a 5 star rating was that after awhile the songs start to sound a little similar.

The music is something that is following the current trend, but still trying to set apart from their competition. I have hope for the band, but I know that it's all too easy for a band to be in the shadow of much larger success, such as As I Lay Dying, Dead To Fall, Darkest Hour or the ever popular Killswitch Engage. While having several colossal acts running the current metal show, If Hope Dies continue to steer away from a tendency to be those bands. Idolization isn't pretty when it become plagiarism and I have hope that this group will remember it.

I like the cd, i just cant say that i loved it. Himsa's new album is good too, although different by nature of song structure, it was also a good buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars this is good metal, June 7, 2006
By Steve Dawg "S.D." (Claremont, Ca) - See all my reviews
It reminds me of American headcharge and heaven shall burn but it has a different sound from the quitar. The guitar sounds like trivium and the showdown. Great cd loud mean and did I meantion loud. Don't forget the great pinches. It has the sound of the haunted also. If you like revolver and on that cd the song fire alive you will like the first song burned out immediately.

5.0 out of 5 stars amazing, March 20, 2006
simply put...this cd is amazing. it is a big improvment to The ground is rushing up to meet us..and thats saying alot where thats a classic cd in my eyes...right up there with Heartwork and The Oncoming Storm. this cd sounds alot like arch enemy and unearth....wich is a very good thing. heavy breaks, good harmonic melodic guitar, and good vocals. good stuff..buy it homie

Without a doubt, this disc is one of the most fully enjoyable American metal releases to come out in recent memory. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Energetic & entertaining
Metalcore is over-saturated with bands who fuse North American death metal with Euro thrash (very much in the same vein as In Flames and Carcass). Read more
