On ABOUT A BURNING FIRE, Blindside proved that they were one of the most diverse hard rock bands on the scene, careening from the screams and rhythmic intensity of death metal to punk-pop cheerfulness at the drop of a hat. In addition, the album was chock full of catchy tunes and the band's trademark inspirational lyric bent. As the title suggests, however, GREAT DEPRESSION explores the band's darker side, often fusing oblique minor-key melodies with the usual heaviness. "Ask Me Now" features Jeff Buckley/Radiohead-esque crooning vocals over a throbbing, drum-heavy groove. "We Are to Follow" channels stud-rock of the Ted Nugent variety while "My Alibi" goes a step further, recalling the thrash guitars and harmonized lead guitars of early Metallica. Characterized by a distinct change in tone from Blindside's previous work, GREAT DEPRESSION also ambitiously redefines the group's art.
Blindside: Christian Lindskog (vocals); Simon Grenehed (guitar, background vocals); Marcus Dahlstrom (piano, drums, percussion, programming); Tomas Naslund (bass guitar).
Additional personnel: Kristen Persson (trombone); Hampus Nordgren (double bass); Ilkka, J. Jamte.

pure blindside.
the music is getting better, but sadly christian's voice is going.. you could tell in about a burning fire and this one is even worse.
i don't expect much more from christian, but the rest of them will indeed excel with whatever they do.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  Disappointing to say the least
I am a big fan of what these guys have done on A Thought Crushed My Mind and Silence, but The Great Depression is pretty much lame. Their single Fell In Love The Game is pretty good, but other than that this cd is a huge disappointment. Silence is by far their best cd. Even for a fan like me, The Great Depression is pretty bad.

What happened?
This album really isn't worth bothering with - the sound has changed, and in my opinion it is much for the worse.
I don't agree that it's in any way heavier whatsoever, the songs lack the usual Blindside power and I find the album quite bland and boring.
It's currently sitting in the CD rack, collecting dust having only listened to it a handful of times...such a shame.

| | Lacuna Coil Comalies CD (2002)
Great Depression songs
$12.79
Representing a classic case of delayed fame, Italian goth-metal act Lacuna Coil broke into the American music consciousness via a much talked-about showing on the Ozzfest 2004 second stage, nearly two years after the release of their third album, COMALIES. Similar to its American counterparts Evanescence, this European sextet features the dual vocals of Cristina Scabbia and her male counterpart, Andrea Ferro. Despite the liberal amounts of keyboards added to the mix, guitarists Cristiano Migliore and Marco Biazzi more than hold their own, pumping choppy riffs into the 1980s-sounding "Self Deception" and the simmering opener "Swamped." What makes Lacuna Coil so unique in an often musically conservative genre is the band's ability to dabble with ethereal dynamics. Such is the case with the soaring title cut and equally potent "The Ghost Woman and the Hunter," both of which blend neo-classical riffing, swirling synth runs and a perfect juxtaposition of light and heavy vocal phrasing. To commemorate ...
| | Blindside About A Burning Fire CD (2004)
Great Depression album
$9.09
This is a Hyper CD, which contains regular audio tracks and also provides a link to the artist's website with the help of a web browser.
At first listen, Swedish rockers Blindside might sound similar to their American pals P.O.D. However, Blindside's fourth album, ABOUT A BURNING FIRE, is their most fully realized effort to date, bringing the band's unique take on heavy rock into distinct and full focus.
Refreshingly light on the kind of screaming vocals that have become a cliche over the years (Christian Lindskog's tuneful self-harmonizing is one of the group's major assets), Blindside's anthemic rock, with its direct, uplifting message of youthful redemption, is forcefully conveyed here. On tracks such as the churning "Eye of the Storm," which comes closest to traditional emo-core; the stuttering, filmic "Hooray, It's L.A." (featuring former Smashing Pumpkin Billy Corgan on guitar); and the atypically subtle and atmospheric "Shekina," the band shows its mettle. With ...

Since Roddy Jackson put out just three singles on Specialty, you wouldn't think it easy to compile an entire CD of his work. With typical industrious ingenuity, however, Ace has managed to scrounge together a 16-track collection. It includes not just both sides of all three of his late-'50s Specialty singles, but also a bunch of previously unissued outtakes and demos from the same era, as well as an alternate take of "I've Got My Sights on Someone New." Jackson really didn't have enough going for him to be a major ...
