| | Bled Pass The Flask CD Bled Discography of CDs
Pass the Flask was originally issued on the Fiddler label, went out of print since shortly after it was issued, and is reissued here by the Bled's current label, Vagrant, with a whopping 11 bonus cuts, many coming from the band's earliest EPs. This is post-hardcore with just enough metal and screamo thrown in for good measure to make the Bled a thing unto itself. The set has been issued as a stop-gap between 2005's Found in the Flood and an album to be issued later in 2007. It's not like the band's sound changed appreciably between 2003 and 2005, through production values did. Songs have enough strange melodic territory planted inside them -- check the Cure groove evoked in the bridge of "I Never Met Another Gemini." There are many such moments, where this or that influence gets checked musically, especially on the EP cuts, where even Mike Patton's vocal madness gets touched on in "My Cyanide Catharsis." For fans who missed it the first time, this is a special bit of memorabilia, but more than that, Pass the Flask and the EP tracks trace the Bled's development almost from the very beginning. ~ Thom Jurek

Purchase Pass The Flask CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Most Precious Blood Merciless CD (2005)
Pass The Flask album
$8.89 Utterly wasting a name that would be much better used by some doomy goth band with a sexy-vampiress lead singer, Most Precious Blood have thus far been a fairly close to useless metalcore band with a taste for ooh-aren't-we-shocking lyrical and visual provocation. Merciless features a step up in terms of presentation and reach, with ...
| | Daylight Dies Dismantling Devotion CD (2006)
Pass The Flask CD music
$14.05 Daylight Dies celebrated their tenth anniversary in 2006 -- and after all that time, headbangers still had a hard time believing they were an American band. If you conducted a blindfold test and played Dismantling Devotion (which was recorded in 2005 and released in the U.S. in March 2006) for someone who was unfamiliar with this North Carolina outfit, he or she would likely guess, "This must be a European band. They're probably from one of the Scandinavian countries -- or perhaps England or the Netherlands." But no, Daylight Dies is definitely an American band, although Dismantling Devotion certainly sounds like something that would come from one of Europe's melodic death metal combos. This CD favors the gloomier, more goth-minded side of melodic death metal. Many bands that are considered melodic death metal have a strong power metal influence, but Daylight Dies -- much like Sweden's Katatonia -- prefers the gloominess of goth. The vocals -- usually a deep, guttural, evil-sounding growl -- are pure death metal. But while a lot of death metal is all about sledgehammer brutality, Dismantling Devotion is more atmospheric than anything. This is a disc that successfully balances aggression and moodiness, and the album ...

Pass The Flask music CDs
$15.65 After overcoming some critical personal shakeups to produce 2004's excellent THEY'RE ONLY CHASING SAFETY, Florida's Underoath fulfilled the immense expectations set by that album--to transcend their audience's demands and still uphold their Christian metal roots--with 2006's DEFINE THE GREAT LINE. The Band undertakes this follow-up effort with such unbending ferocity that ...

Pass The Flask songs
$9.49 Originally titled RANDY NEWMAN CREATES SOMETHING NEW UNDER THE SUN and released with a hopelessly unhip album cover, Randy Newman's heavily-orchestrated debut album has more in common with Van Dyke Parks's SONG CYCLE or Harpers Bizarre's ANYTHING GOES than the stripped-down sound of Newman's better-known '70s albums. (Uncoincidentally, both the latter were also produced by Newman's childhood friend Lenny Waronker; Newman was involved ...
| | Faithless No Roots CD (2004) (Import) Bonus Tracks; Japan
Pass The Flask album
$38.09 Japanese edition, scheduled to include two exclusive bonus tracks.
On the strength of the lead single "Mass Destruction" alone (the album features two mixes of the song, as well as its video), NO ROOTS is another powerhouse entry in the Faithless discography. The driving groove, the subdued rap of vocalist Maxi Jazz, and the compelling, politically pointed message of the lyrics make "Mass Destruction" a clear standout track. Fortunately, there is more to NO ROOTS, as producers Rollo and Sister Bliss flesh out the entire record with gorgeous sonic architecture and stylistic flourishes that range from dub to ambient to deep house.
Maxi Jazz and newcomer LSK (who ...
