(7 Customer Reviews)
Bloodsimple features ex-Vision of Disorder members Tim Williams (vocals) and Mike Kennedy (guitar). Cruel World, the band's debut, is also the first release from Mudvayne frontman Chad Grey's Bullygoat imprint (via Warner). Mudvayne's sound is definitely a reference point for Bloodsimple, as is later VOD. As heavy as much of Cruel World hits -- the killer opener "Straight to Hate," "Blood In Blood Out"'s updated thrash swagger -- it also makes room for things like "Running from Nothing," which links curse words and screaming with atmospheric, even melodic singing. In this way it's a pretty typical 2000s alternative metal record. The rhythm section stops and starts with Tool precision, the guitars are mixed to maximum thickness, and Williams tears at his soul with lyrics about insanity, broken teeth, and waging war on the weak. Williams is certainly committed to his rage -- "Path to Prevail" begins with a banshee howl to wake the dead. It's Cruel World's strongest track, since its lead riff has enough room for melody without losing that viciously rewarding edge. The breaks suggest Disturbed, the drums pound like armies marching out of hell, and "You're full of shit/I vow now to return/I've already been your God" is a chorus tailor-made for destroying Playstation opponents. ~ Johnny Loftus

Tim Williams In Form! I was sad when i heard Vision Of Disorder called it a day. Fan of there music especially there last album (from bliss to deavastion) and the vocalist Tim Williams. But i heard recently he had started a new band bloodsimple and they had an album just released and i ran out and bought it! There'v taken the best moments of VOD's imprint and from bliss to devastaion albums and put them in2 this album which shows Tims great depthas a vocalist. Aside from Tim the rest of the band are good too including band mate from VOD ( mike kennedy). Any heavy music follower should lilke this album and now i can't wait to c them play live!!

One of the best I've heard in a while Forget about this vision of disorder stuff. This is a new band with a new sound. Simply put, this album is excellent. It is solid from top to bottom with a lot of strong tracks. Songs range from descent to excellent. The tracks offer good variety and range and stays fresh all the way throuhg and doesnt drop off like many albums do. It is heavy, but not too hardcore, and is quite accessible, with a good blend of heaviness and melody. A lot of bands seem to be going for this kind of sound lately, but Bloodsimple really nails it.

| | Autoliner Be CD (2001)
Cruel World songs
$13.85 Autoliner's second album (their first was originally released under the band name Life on Mars, but another band with that name complained, so it was reissued as the album Life on Mars by the band Autoliner) is a huge leap beyond their good but at times rather generic debut. There's a newfound psychedelic feel to the trio's songs, and a bigger emphasis on the soaring three-part harmonies that are the cornerstone of their sound. Having three singer/songwriters in a band is usually a recipe for artistic diversity that verges on incoherence, but guitarist Brian Leach (formerly of the underrated indiepoppers Sugarbuzz and the '80s pioneers the Last Gentlemen), bassist John Ross, and drummer Tom Curless sing like a meatier version ...
