| | Funeral For A Friend Hours CD Funeral For A Friend Discography of CDs
 (18 Customer Reviews)
As Gavin Rossdale and Bush proved in 1994 with their adaptation and refinement of American grunge, sometimes the Brits can do it better. Likewise, Wales-based Funeral for a Friend takes the basic elements of hard-edged U.S. emo (speedy drumming, dramatic, heart-on-the-sleeve vocals, heavy guitars, and complex rhythms) and filters it through a uniquely British lens. "Roses for the Dead" takes the aforementioned elements and adds both a Cocteau Twins-esque wall of shimmering guitar and of touch of Duran Duran-style dance-rock. "Streetcar" takes emo's natural metallic leanings in a slightly different direction, adding a big dollop of Iron Maiden-approved riffery. "History's" mellow groove and chiming six-string pattern seems as indebted to U2 as to Sunny Day Real Estate. An important step in the development of emo's expansion beyond American shores, HOURS will appeal to fans of the genre looking for a distinctive point of view.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No This is the first time finally!!!!!
Forget the screaming? They follow a certain trend in emo music these days. Avenged Sevenfold had to tone down the screaming whereas AFI recently turned up a notch in terms of screaming. So I don't know which direction I should follow but this album reminds totally of Thrice. This band is not of our ilk so buzz off! They're Welsh. I'll just have to live with it that they're just a bunch of clones like we North Americans do. Sigh.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Different but not bad
True, compared to the other two albulms from FFAF, this one is really tame. I don't know what happened to Ryan's throaty screams but they were none existant on this cd. Not comparing it to the other albulms its not bad at all though, it just could of been much better.

Purchase Hours CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | VH1 Presents The Corrs Live In Dublin CD (2002)
Hours album
 $6.39   
This audio document of The Corrs' Dublin homecoming concert has pretty much everything fans of Irish pop could wish for, including an appearance from Bono in his earthly incarnation, fresh from an audience with President George W. Bush. It's to the band's credit that the charismatic singer fails to steal the show, despite creditable efforts via an anthemized version of Ryan Adams' beautifully downtempo "When the Stars ...
| | Funeral For A Friend Seven Ways To Scream Your Name CD (2003)
Hours CD music
$9.95
Released shortly after the band's debut album Casually Dressed & Deep in Conversation, this U.S.-targeted mini-LP was clearly meant to introduce American audiences to the band's unorthodox formula for emo-gone-metal-gone-hardcore. Collecting seven highlights from three separate Funeral for a Friend U.K. releases (namely the "Juneau" single, and the Between Order and Model and Four Ways to Scream Your Name EPs), this set certainly proves that the band's clever balance between measured aggression and melodic immediacy is tenuous at best. Up and down it goes, as "Red is the New Black" and "Kiss and Makeup" both manage to convincingly rock their emotional riffs and words, while the pointedly sardonic "The Art of American Football" simply gets too lazy, copping its every trick from post-alternative Irishmen Therapy? ...

Hours music CDs

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 ...

Hours songs
$13.05
Funeral for a Friend/Funeral Diner: Matt Davies (vocals); Kris Roberts (guitar); Gareth Davies, Ryan Richards, Darran Smith.
Welsh combo Funeral for a Friend pushes metal to the bottom for Casually Dressed & Deep in Conversation, its ambitious debut full-length. The chugging riffs are there, yes. But Funeral's heavy metal guitar lines are only guides for the surging melodies and sing/scream dynamics common to the new nation of post-hardcore rocket operators. From Autumn to Ashes, Alexisonfire -- these are just a couple of the band's peers in this, both offering their own versions ...

Hours songs
$18.79
The Gods' debut album was the sound of a band capturing the transition of British psychedelia into more ostentatious progressive hard rock. Ken Hensley's heavy Hammond organ was the center of their sound, and both that and the sometimes overbearing vibrato vocals pointed toward the less psychedelic sounds he and drummer Lee Kerslake would pursue in Uriah Heep. Genesis ...

| | Offspring Greatest Hits CD (2005) (Import) Bonus Tracks; Australia
Hours songs
$27.59
This collection of greatest hits by breakthrough US punk-rock band The Offspring contains the songs "Come Out and Play (Keep 'em Separated)," "Pretty Fly (For a White Guy)," and "(Can't Get My) Head Around You."
This Australian version contains two exclusive tracks, "Next to You" and "Can't Repeat."
Plenty of SoCal punk diehards decried The Offspring to be "sellouts" when they leapt from cherished indie Epitaph to the major-label stables at Columbia Records. But one listen to this GREATEST HITS compilation points to a band that was never destined to stay underground for long. In crafting clever pop-punk that addressed the concerns of teen skate-punks everywhere, this California quartet cranked out radio-friendly cuts every bit as viable as anything peers like Green Day and Blink 182 were producing during the same time period. Social observations not only poked fun at suburban kids affecting inner-city mannerisms ("Pretty Fly [For a White Guy]"), but gold diggers ("Why Don't You Get a Job?") and the lost opportunities of a younger generation ("The Kids Aren't All right"). The sing-along choruses and irresistible bassline of "Self ...

At once crisply assertive and lovingly sensual, vocalist Jane Monheit is the jazz equivalent of the young and charming grade school teacher you secretly nurtured a crush on. A sophisticated bombshell of a performer with a voice that is, like her appearance, voluptuous and flawlessly pretty, Monheit has garnered well-earned comparisons to such icons as Ella ...
