Following in the footsteps of labelmates Embodyment, Dead Poetic's debut album is a spectacular emocore release that capitalizes on the emotional boom in a tremendous way. Four Wall Blackmail is spearheaded by vocalist Brandon Rike's passionate serenades that pluck at the heartstrings with touching lyrics and beautiful vocal tones. Some of Dead Poetic's largest assets are the vicious screams that supplement the desperation and sorrow that Rike emits from every pore in his body, giving the album enough edge to impress fans of hardcore as well as those more in touch with the tear-jerking emo of Dashboard Confessional. The songwriting is fairly basic, relying on standard verse/chorus progression, yet this is a simple combination that Dead Poetic seems to work perfectly. The songs border on mainstream rock accessibility while remaining firmly in the outer edge of the accepted musical spectrum. Musically Dead Poetic is rather mundane, allowing each song to be molded around whatever Rike decides to express, be it contempt, agony, or love. "The Corporate Enthusiast" at times sounds similar to some of metalcore's finest, such as Vision of Disorder or Zao, yet the emotional hooks pull it back from falling over the brink of hardcore intensity. The friendly format is sure to appeal to modern rock fans, and Dead Poetic has a sound that could easily catapult them into the spotlight. Four Wall Blackmail is an excellent album that makes predictable surprisingly enjoyable. ~ Jason D. Taylor

Underoath: Spencer Chamberlain (vocals); James Smith, Timothy McTague (guitar); Christopher Dudley (keyboards); Grant Brandell (bass guitar); Aaron Gillespie (drums, background vocals).
Whether you describe this type of alternative rock as screamo, post-hardcore, or melodic hardcore, albums like They're Only Chasing Safety are all about contrasts -- heaven contrasting with hell, melody contrasting with sledgehammer brutality, "normal" singing (whatever "normal" is) contrasting with tortured, agonized, death-all-over-your-face screaming. This screamo/post-hardcore/melodic hardcore approach ...

Four Wall Blackmail
$10.89 
This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.
Bullet for My Valentine: Matthew Tuck (vocals, guitar); Jay James (vocals, bass guitar).
Welsh heavy-metal quartet Bullet for My Valentine began making serious headlines in the metal press in 2005, and with good reason. The band combines a vintage U.K. metal sound (think Iron Maiden and Judas Priest) with the ferocity of 21st-century metalcore and the emotional angst of emo. THE POISON, the band's punishing full-length debut, finds all these elements mixed to perfect measure via top-tier production. In addition to the relentless sonic attack, Bullet for My Valentine also filled THE POISON with solid songs, a factor that distinguishes them ...
| | Captain Beefheart Shiny Beast (Bat Chain Puller) CD Import
Four Wall Blackmail
$12.35
1978 opus from the bizzaro-genius, bluesy rocker Captain Beefheart on, appropriately enough, the Bizzare label. Features the tracks 'Tropical Hot Dog Night', 'Owed T'alex', 'Bat Chain Puller' and nine more.
Personnel: Don "Captain Beefheart" Van Vliet (vocals, whistling, harmonica, soprano saxophone); Richard Redus (guitar, accordion, bass); Jeff Moris Tepper (guitar); Bruce Lambourne Fowler (trombone); Eric Drew Feldman (piano, keyboards, bass); Robert Arthur Williams (drums, percussion); Art Tripp III (percussion).
Recorded at The Automatt, San Francisco, California.
So titled because the original album, simply titled Bat Chain Puller, had to be ditched and rerecorded after a legal tuzzle involving Frank Zappa's manager, Shiny Beast turned out to be manna from heaven for those feeling Beefheart had lost his way on his two Mercury albums. Then again, what else could be assumed with a song titled "Tropical Hot Dog Night" that sounds like what happened when Beefheart encountered Miami disco and decided to make something of it? When it comes to singing, though, he's still the atypical growler, snarler and more of lore, conjuring up more wonderfully odd lyrical stories than can easily be measured, while the album as a whole gets steadily more and more bent. "You ...
