| | Calico System Duplicated Memory CD Calico System Discography of CDs
In the grander scope of things, there wasn't much time between the release of Thursday's Full Collapse and Calico System's The Duplicated Memory, and yet the latter seems to belong to some sort of school of screamo that the former had a big hand in creating. The ten songs on this album certainly showcase some diversity in the music and range in the vocals. And while it may seem strong in some ways, The Duplicated Memory is also weak in others. Many other bands seem to have a similar sound at this point in time, but the band seems to have an understanding of the importance of range and mixing things up. Since this is their debut album, hopefully they'll continue to learn and make improvements as time goes on. ~ Kurt Morris

Purchase Duplicated Memory CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Animosity Shut It Down CD (2003)
Duplicated Memory album
 $9.25  
Animosity's first full-length is surprisingly mature, considering that some members were only 15 when recording the album. The group hadn't yet grown into the technical death metal behemoth it would become, but its identity was already evident. Shut It Down mixes atonal death metal with hardcore punk breakdowns and a strong thrash influence, the latter perhaps a product of the band's Bay Area origins. The production is crisp and clear, but a bit light. Thus, the speedier ...
| | All That Remains This Darkened Heart CD (2004)
Duplicated Memory CD music
$9.85 
Judging from just the first song on This Darkened Heart, one is tempted to immediately rank All That Remains among the top tier of current Swedish-influenced American hardcore-metal bands (and there are a lot of them). The dual-guitar interplay of Oli Herbert and Mike Martin is intricate and impressive, and their classically tinged riff-writing yields at least a slight distinction from their many At the Gates-influenced contemporaries. However, as early as the second track -- and again on several of the others -- they reveal their downfall in attempting to incorporate passages of melodic singing. It's a downfall they share with plenty of other bands in this genre. It would be a great idea to try this technique if these bands could pull it off tastefully, but All That Remains, like many of their counterparts, do not do so. The cleanly sung breakdowns on "Focus Shall Not Fail," "Tattered on My Sleeve," and the title track feel forced and are at times cringe inducing, sounding vaguely like bad-'80s radio rock (think late Journey). The other problem is that, as the album wears on, the experienced listener can't help but get the feeling that he or she has heard many of these riffs before -- if not note for note, then close enough that it doesn't ...
| | My Chemical Romance Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge CD (2004)
Duplicated Memory music CDs
$9.95 
For its major-label debut, My Chemical Romance amps up the melodies in transforming its unique hardcore approach to more of a pop-punk style. To say this Jersey quintet subscribes to the half-empty-glass outlook on love and relationships is like saying Johnny Rotten is a slightly irritable chap. Buried amid the abundant sing-along choruses and the tasty, two-guitar attack of fretburners Ray Toro and Frank Iero is doom-and-gloom imagery that ranges from the suicidal allusions of ...
| | My Bitter End Renovation CD (2007)
Duplicated Memory songs
$8.15 
The title of My Bitter End's second album, The Renovation, is an open admission of recent changes within the group, which brought in replacements at both the singer and second guitarist positions, and redirected their vision towards a more technical, versatile, and brutal, convergence of heavy metal and hardcore elements. This was unquestionably accomplished, and even though the 2000s are positively fraught with precocious young bands excelling at the art of all-over-the-place-itis, My Bitter End show admirable talent for siphoning their oodles of influences into frequently memorable tunes. As usual, it's all a matter of contrasts, contrasts, contrasts; switching from oppressive bouts of roaring, grindcore-like intensity into musical chords and even uplifting melodies and back, at the drop of a hat -- all the while ...

Overstuffed semi-orchestral pop/rock roughly in the same stylistic ballpark as Jellyfish (sort of a third-hand rip-off of psych-era Beatles by way of Electric Light Orchestra, in other words), the debut album by Gary Reynolds & the Brides of Obscurity reveals a singer/songwriter with one heck of a record collection, ...
