Product Description

Highly anticipated 2006 album from one of the hottest new bands in the UK at the moment, Sheffield's own Bring Me the Horizon. This is a real shot of much needed youth and adrenaline for the UK Metal scene. The album is full of what people have already come to expect from the band: breakdowns, massive riffs, time signatures, tempo changes, immense vocals, shredding solos, blistering percussion, etc. But the experience of working with top producer Dan Sprigg (lostprophets, Cradle Of Filth) has brought a new found maturity out of the guys, a more solid direction and focus in song writing and structure. 10 tracks including 'Pray For Plague'. Visible Noise. 2006.

5.0 out of 5 stars brutally great, November 28, 2007

By	C. noel "knowlege of all music" (poolesville, md United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Count Your Blessings (Audio CD)

Ok i know there is an influx of the hardcore/death/metal/grind crossover bands out now a days and i gotta say that i've heard alot of them that just sucked..mainly the vocalists have to carry the band in this genre of music..the band can be great but if the vocalist can't pull the vocals then it just doesn't work...Now this band has EVERYTHING i was looking for.the vocals are amazing, highs, lows, hardcores you name it they do it.it turned out much better than i though it would..if you're a fan of job for a cowboy, faceless, i wouldnt say black dahlia because theres a hint of hardcore with the breakdowns on this cd, but if you're a fan of the death/core crossover bands..i beg you please buy this cd now.you definatly won't be dissapointed. One of the best purchases i've made in 07 and there have been quite a few bad ones that i've bought just on word of mouth..but if i worked at your neighborhood record store and you came in and requested a good metal record i would highly reccomend this one and not worry about you coming back later that day to throw a brick through the window because you didnt like it. So all i can say is Buy this record.

1.0 out of 5 stars Bringing Back Hair Metal, June 13, 2007

By	Bill Lumbergh "yeaahh..." (Initech) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Count Your Blessings (Audio CD)

Well, almost.

Bring Me The Horizon is one of the worst things to come out of the United Kingdom these days. The band does absolutely nothing new on this album, except play a completely watered down style of music that Through the Eyes of the Dead, The Black Dahlia Murder and the like have done in a far superior matter before. The production is awful, it sounds like it was recorded with a muffled microphone. The members lack any decent skills and can't write a decent song to save their lives. Every riff and breakdown has been done before. Oli Sykes is horrible as a vocalist; his screams sound like a cat getting hit. The drumming is worthless; it can barely keep up with the song and ends up completely sloppy. Take a look at the lyrics, sounds like 3rd rate poetry you'd find in a choppy haired MySpace user's blog. I mean, look at this: "I will always love you, but I need pills to sleep". WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? This band obviously wants to put more effort into how their hair looks than what comes out of their music. Very shameful.

Seems like this band won't last very long, because it's just what you'd normally expect from a band like this, except far worse. Here's this decade's generation of Poison for you!

5.0 out of 5 stars great improvement, November 14, 2006

By	yves dudley (Bellevue, NE USA) - See all my reviews

Bring Me The Horizon's Count Your Blessings is a major improvement from their previously released EP This Is What The Edge Of Your Seat Was Made For. Some of the songs on CYB had been previously recorded live and in rough demos. The two instrumental tracks, Slow Dance and 15 Fathoms, Counting [which is also acoustic], are executed amazingly and show that BMTH aren't just five little teenagers with an electric guitar, but are also talented in the non-'br00tal' genre. I don't have any favorite tracks, because all of them are different in their own way and are all excellent.
