 (3 Customer Reviews)
On its second outing for the Equal Vision label, the Fall of Troy presents another set of intricate, prog-heavy screamo. With start-stop rhythms, dazzling riffs that would make Rush proud, and frightening vocals as intense as any of their metalcore contemporaries, the Pacific Northwest power trio remains boldly experimental (see the twists and turns of "Cut Down All the Trees and Name Streets After Them") and happily lost in its own strange yet compelling musical world.
Includes a bonus live CD.

Don't listen to the guy that rated it one star. I got this album a few days ago and haven't stopped listening since. I think I've listened to it about 15 times already. I can't stop talking about it. Seriously. Buy this. Now.

Manipulated My Love for HxC Music.
Manipulator is simply amazing. The 3-man Band releases their new album, fullfilling many fans dreams, and expanding their fanbase, just as their previous album Dopplegranger did.
While Manipulator was not as intense, or original as Dopplegranger some may say, its still an amazing 5-Star Album.
The songs are so fulfilling, I didn't want them to end. This CD is going to be playing in my car ALL summer.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  Buy Doppelganger for sure
I purchased this album off the strength of the Doppelganger album and was disappointed by the overall vibe - drums sounded weak, vox were upfront but a lackluster performance... Doppelganger beats this slick piece of sh!t in attitude, performance and song-writing hands down.

Bassist Bill Laswell and the deeply strange guitarist Buckethead (so named for his practice of wearing a mask and an empty Kentucky Fried Chicken bucket on his head at all times on-stage) have been making music of rare craziness and beauty together for more than ten years, both in and out of their avant-funk group Praxis. Working with electronic percussionist and "sound collagist" Shin Terai (who has previously recorded with Laswell under the name Chaos Face), they call themselves Shine on this album, and present a seven-part suite of dub-wise experimentation called Heaven and Hell. Each track is a numbered movement, and the whole thing proceeds and develops with a dark, slow intensity that sometimes (as on "Movement 4") judders along in a thudding, post-rockers style, and at others (as on "Movement 6") lapses into a sort of ambient and stunningly lovely guitar noodling. The separations between the tracks feel largely artificial, though -- you get the feeling that this whole album was made in one sitting, and it's most satisfying when experienced that way as well. Laswell's basslines are rubbery and gorgeous, as always, and Terai's rhythmic and atmospheric treatments nicely complement the work of the two instrumentalists. Highly recommended. ~ Rick Anderson
After more than ten years of steady collaboration both on stage and in the studio, bassist Bill Laswell and mutant ninja guitarist Buckethead join forces once again on Heaven And Hell-a full-length dub-style excursion that also features sound collage work from Shin Terai (the original Chaos Face of Subharmonic fame, and whose 1999 debut album Unison was co-produced by Laswell). Reminiscent of some of their more extended psychedelic forays as part of the avant-shred combo Praxis, Laswell and Buckethead have consistently displayed an almost symbiotic rapport when it comes to composing. For this particular trip, they rely primarily on instinct to create a lush, flowing suite of low-end dub fugues laced with radical sound effects-echoes, flanges, envelopes, distortion and signal noise-and unrelenting grooves that will surely have even the most jaded listener trancing out in no time.When asked how he first met Buckethead, Laswell points to a series of connections among like-minded musicians that have always seemed to play a role in any project he conceives. In this case, those connections stretch back to 1990, when Laswell had been recruited to produce the debut of an SF Bay Area punk-funk outfit called the Limbomaniacs. "I'd originally worked with Brain [the drummer from the group, and eventually the beat anchor with Laswell and Buckethead in Praxis] when we were putting together the album [Stinky Grooves, on the now-defunct In-Effect/Relativity ...
