Eli's Album Review - Far-less: A Toast to Bad Taste

Eli's Album Review 5/10/09
Far-less: A Toast to Bad Taste

Hey Guys its Eli again and it's time for another album review. This Week i got a special treat for you with one of the bands that surprised me. I bought this CD on iTunes a couple months back only knowing that they were with Tooth and Nail records and that it was an 16 track CD for abut 8 bucks. i said yes, good deal and let me tell you......Great Deal!!!!

These guys (and girl) are from Virginia and are currently signed with Tooth and Nail records and to me one of the most unique bands they have. Their sound is part modern rock, part 9o's alternative (smashing pumkins, Soundgarden), all awesome. With interludes with classical influences and guitars with alt influences and vocals with alt with pop influences. his band sticks out in the indie genre. With so many types of music your surrounded by wall of music but the utter catchiness of their sound gets them stuck in head for days.

With songs like A thin line, Devil without a clue, and So Glad this cd just gives and gives for days. I strongly recommend this cd if your looking for something new and fresh and if its still at the $8 price, pick it quick cause I'm excited for whats next for this amazing band.

Eli's Album Review - The Myraid : With Arrows, With Poise

Eli's Album Review 5/6/09
The Myraid : With Arrows, With Poise

Well guys its time for my review again and this time I'm bring you my review from The Myraid's With Arrows, With Poise.

Let me start by saying if you haven't heard of these, go put now and check them out. Especially if your a fan of bands like After Edmund, Mew, and RadioHead. They are an alt rock band from Seattle, Washington and their music spans from electronica to ambient soundscapes to pop melodies. What i love about this band is the uniqueness in sound and the utter amazzzzing clarity and solid vocal work done by lead singer Jemery Edwardson. Though there are seemily heavy layers of sounds, his voice is still clear and vibrant as a bell. The musicianship and time spent is definitely shown in there simple yet complex progressions and it pleases both study heavy musicians and basic listeners. The Cd is well done and the theme of the cd to me came down to priorities and viewing the time spent. With songs like You Waste Time Like a Grandfather Clock and Forget What You Came For, the theme of what have you done for God and how are you spending time are reflected in the cd. The Cd is also fun with a cover of the song Call Me made famous by Billy Idol and songs titled Polar Bears and Shark Fins and Throwing Punches.

Make sure you pick up this Cd!!!!

Thank you for reading and be ready Sunday for my next review.
