A commonly heard complaint from nu-metal's early detractors was that the genre had a distinct lack of catchy tunes. As irrelevant as this view may seem, considering that bone- crushingly heavy riffs, not sing-along ditties, have always been at the core of metal's popularity, even devoted Korn and Mudvayne fans have been known to lament the sameness of many nu-metal bands' sound. Enter FROM ONE, the debut album from Ra. Seemingly borrowing as much from the Beatles as from Black Sabbath, lead singer and main songwriter Sahaj Ticotin possesses a sense of melody and songcraft so highly developed that it would likely please fans of alternative pop bands like Matchbox 20. In this respect, the quartet often sounds like a much heavier, less progressive version of King's X or Faith No More. Considering that Ra isn't afraid to make liberal use of clean guitar sounds and multi-layered vocal harmonies, some may deny that the group plays metal at all. Even a cursory listen to FROM ONE, however, reveals that the band's super-tight start-stop rhythms and de-tuned guitars are cut from the same Metallica-influenced cloth as their contemporaries' cookie monster-vocal filled sonic onslaughts.

From One Music Review Average Rating: (4.9 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews Why aren't they bigger?
One of the most amazing bands I have ever listened to. The vocals are one of a kind and the guitar riffs never get old. Support them, buy their cds.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No 1 of 1 found this helpful. Gets better everytime I listen to it.
This is a great CD and just keeps getting better and better everytime that I listen to it. RA does have some harder songs but their middle of the road songs, not hard and not soft, are great. We will hear more from this group in the years to come. Excellent Buy.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Ra has the most unique sound I have ever heard
Quite frankly Ra is the best band I'm listening too. Not a single song on this or the "Duality" album are worth skipping. Just hit the play button and sit back. Every song refers to the sun either directly or indirectly, and are very deep and personal. Ra has such a unique sound that you get hooked on every song. I love them so much that I'll download their albums for free :p Either way, get this album, and their 2005 album "Duality. I hope they come out with another album next year. RA RULES!!

Being the daughter of country songwriter Billy Swan hasn't guaranteed Sierra Swan music industry success: this solo debut is the culmination of nearly 10 years of perseverance. Her struggles inform her delivery of songs like "The Ladder" (actually penned by her producer Linda Perry, to whom she bears a vocal resemblance), and the gritty, pissed-off "Don't Say," and she also gets the endorsement of songwriting and vocal assists from indie singer-songwriting sweetheart Aimee Mann on "Get Down to It." On this often down-and-dirty set, Swan is evidently unafraid of ...
