 (1 Customer Review)
Initial pressings included a bonus DVD featuring live performances and behind-the-scenes footage.
By the time Atreyu's 2002 debut full-length SUICIDE NOTES AND BUTTERFLY KISSES was released, they'd already built a devoted following in their native Orange County, California, with their polished yet punishing brand of metalcore. An EP, FRACTURES IN THE FACADE OF YOUR PORCELAIN BEAUTY, had established the band's sonic blueprint, and Atreyu reworked three songs from the EP to place among the newer material on SUICIDE NOTES.
The group's hallmarks-furiously churning riffs, double-bass thunder, and tortured screamo vocals-arrive fully formed here. Titles like "Living Each Day Like You're Already Dead" and "Someone's Standing On My Chest" suggest lead singer and lyricist Alex Vartkatzas's penchant for violent psychological anguish and anger, feelings reinforced by the brutal nature of the music. The singles "Ain't Love Grand" and "Lip Gloss and Black" are album highlights, not least for their melodic choruses sung by drummer Brandon Saller, but there isn't a weak track on the disc. Atreyu would go on to refine their unique sound, but this is the album that started it all, and it's still one of their best.
Details TBA. Victor. 2005.
Atreyu: Alex Varkatzas (vocals); Dan Jacobs, Travis Miguel (guitar); Chris Thomson (bass); Brandon Saller (drums).

On his second CD for Leo Records, Steve Cohn, the man who has been called "the great hidden secret of American jazz," goes it alone. He has his collaborators Blair Hardman & Johnny de Robertis on a couple of tracks, but on the rest of the CD he is on key
The level of quality and interest in the productions put out on Leo Records is so constantly high that, whenever a weaker CD is released, listeners must be tempted to go back to it more times than usual in search of what might have been missed, trusting Leo Feigin's judgment against their own.

| | Searchers Definitive Pye Collection CD (2004) (Import) United Kingdom
Suicide Notes And Butterfly Kisses
$25.59
This three-CD boxed set collects 75 tracks--including classics such as "Needles & Pins," "Love Potion No. 9," and "Don't Throw Your Love Away"-- that the beloved British Invasion group the Searchers recorded for Pye Records from 1963 to 1982.
It used to be, with reissues of the Searchers' classic Pye Records sides, that the challenge was getting them to sound good. Since 20-bit and 24-bit remastering have become the norm, however, the only challenge for Sanctuary Records (or the Sequel and Castle Records imprints) seems to be how inexpensive they can make the group's U.K. CDs, and also how many different reissues and compilations they can get out on the group's Pye Records library of around 100 songs -- after all, this three-CD set is at least the second triple-decker career survey of the group put out by the label since the 1980s. And the Liverpool-based band is threatening to pass the Who in terms of the sheer number of reissues and compilations of their work, which is amazing when you consider that the Searchers last charted a single about 38 years previously -- to be sure, they've been adding many good and some great songs to their catalog in the decades since, but no hits as such. This set is nicely comprehensive at 75 songs, limited as it is to finished masters and official releases -- there are no vault finds here such as the Iron Door Sessions tracks or live radio recordings, just singles, B-sides, EP tracks, and LP tracks covering four years in their history, all sounding excellent and in stereo wherever they were mastered that way.
In effect, this is a more expansive companion (or alternative) to the 2003-released 40th Anniversary double-CD set, with more attention ...
