Depswa Two Angels And A Dream CD

 Good up and coming band
This is a very good CD. The songs don't change much from one to the other but that's alright because the band has a pretty good sound. If I had to compare them to another band, I would compare them to the early Deftones - a very "emo" sound.

 One hell of a debut cd!
This cd is excellent! It is one of the best debut's I've heard! Every song is really good and very catchy. You'll find yourself singing along many times over the course of the cd. One song I really love is Prom Song. If the debut came out earlier this yr and they released this as a single before Prom, this song would be a HUGE hit. I hope they release it soon. The song is absolutely terrific! The whole cd is awesome!

 Awesome Record!
Depswa has definitely found their true musical identity with "Two Angels And A Dream". Ignoring industry standards, and their harder, angrier metal roots while performing as Carcinogen in their early days, this band's debut release is a must have for all rock, and even hard rock fans. Not giving in to what others may have wanted from the band, Depswa has stayed true to their vision in making music that appeals to their hearts, minds, and souls. Fortunately for them, this record appeals to the fans in the very same way. With this album you can expect sincere, inspirational, emotionally driven lyrics, strong melodic vocals with appropriately placed hard screams, crisp guitar work with a touch of distortion added in for flavor, and solid rythmns and melodies. The vocals in particular are noteworthy in that Pennick has the ability to reach near operatic pitch, with perfect control and style - coupling this with harsher screams when necessary. With four band members singing, also expect some of the most awe inspiring harmonization that has been blatantly absent throughout current day rock and metal recording artists. "Two Angels And A Dream" represents all that is good in modern hard rock. Everything finely planned, well written, and produced to perfection. The songs on this cd have themes ranging from love, lies, loss, drug abuse, soul searching, and obsession. They tell stories, many of which fans can relate to on a plethora of levels. As far as who you can compare them to, which is a crime really, think Cold, Incubus, Endo, and some have even compared them to Ultraspank and Queen. They stand alone however when it comes to song writing. Perhaps not better than the bands listed, but different in their own way. Guest artists on this record include Brad Kane who's singing style meshes perfectly as backup in "This Time" and "Where I've Begun". You may have heard his work if you listened to Disney's music for Aladdin. Backing vocals on "Traveler's Song" are done by Sierra Swan, and the piano on this song done by Erik Quisling. This is arguable, but the best song on this record is "From The Inside". If you were lucky enough to go to Ozzfest this year it is included on the sampler. Perhaps the hardest song on the disc, FTI contains excellent transitions between clean and harder vocals, catchy guitar riffs, and drumming that inspires you to move. The vocal harmonizations on this song are what earned it the "spine-tingling -send-shivers -down-your-spine" melody award. "Needles" speaks to drug addiction, "Voyeur" is the perfect stalker's anthem, and "Let It Go" is all about just that - letting go of something you love, as hard as it is. Every song on this record has a message, which will reach your heart, and will never leave your soul. And performed live? Lets just say you are in for more surprises!

 Great
This has got to be one of the best debut albums ever. Ever since I got the CD it is all I have listened to. The whole album is good, there isn't a single bad song on the entire CD. If you don't have this CD you need to get it.
