 (6 Customer Reviews)
A fiercely passionate juggernaut of punk-fueled rock & roll, CORAL FANG goes straight for the throat from the opening surge of "Drain the Blood." The Distillers are the street-worn vehicle of Brody Dalle, who exorcises her former surname, Armstrong (as in Tim Armstrong of Rancid), in almost every hard-charging song on FANG. As far as break-up albums go, this one's a doozy, largely due to Dalle's gargled-with-gravel voice, which makes Courtney Love sound like a dainty 10-year-old schoolgirl.
Impressively, Dalle's self-penned tunes match her gutsy singing, and thanks to her proficient band and Gil Norton's muscular production, certain tracks sound like they could be outtakes from Nirvana's IN UTERO, most noticeably the stomping "The Gallow Is God." Other songs--such as "Dismantle Me," "Die on a Rope," "Love Is Paranoid," and the title track--pulse with a faster, frantic punk energy, while "The Hunger" leads off with an acoustic guitar and "For Tonight You're Only Here to Know" is propelled by a catchy, new wave guitar riff. A welcome antidote to the faux angst peddled by many bands, CORAL FANG proves that the Distillers can channel real rage and frustration into some seriously potent music.
All tracks have been digitally mastered using HDCD technology.
The Distillers: Brody Dalle, Tony Bradley (vocals, guitar); Ryan Sinn (vocals, bass); Andy Granelli (drums).
Rolling Stone (10/30/03, p.91) - 4 stars out of 5 - "If Nirvana had been led by a chick singer, BLEACH might have sounded like the Distillers' CORAL FANG..."
Spin (12/03, pp.129-30) - "...There's plenty of dicey karma to burn - which turns out to be the perfect fuel for CORAL FANG's bite-me mojo..." - Grade: B+
Entertainment Weekly (10/17/03, pp.79-80) - "...The latest incarnation of the Distillers has brawn to spare, and the quartet tears through these songs with the 'one-two-three-four' thrust of modern punk..." - Rating: B
Q (01/01/04, p.80) - Ranked #20 in Q's "The 50 Best Albums of 2003"
Q (11/03, p.114) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...Armstrong has a strange voice, oddly masculine, but occasionally vulnerable....She exudes charisma..."
CMJ (11/3/03, p.8) - "...A fervent commitment to edgy, femme, frothing punk rock...is fully exemplified on CORAL FANG....There's not one iota of corporate or faux punk residing on this disc..."

You truly 'NEED' this album. It's not a masterpiece for the ages. It's real- aggro-life... Brody is on fire and it's no wonder that my boy J-Ho' (josh hommes) is her beau (not to mention 'baby-daddy'...say wha?!HEEEY!). This album rocks so hard and rings so true to the world...what a surpriiiiiise! Buy it...or you're dumb.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No 2 of 2 found this helpful. great great album
When i first bought this cd I didn't listen to it much. Then i started too, i was like wow, i never heard a cd like this. I never get tired of listening to it. The Hunger, that song just did it to me, it shows Brody's voice going in higher tones than ever, beyond that great great cd, it deserves to be bought.

Purchase Coral Fang CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Social Distortion Somewhere Between Heaven And Hell CD (1992)
Coral Fang
 $7.59   
HEAVEN AND HELL is Social Distortion's finest hour, the crystallization of all the elements that made it a great band. The country and rockabilly influences cultivated on previous albums are fully integrated here, so that Jimmy Work's country classic "Making Believe" sounds perfectly at home amid Mike Ness's own compositions. It's often hard to tell whether the band is punking up covers of old country and rockabilly tunes or incorporating those influences into its own songs, and that's the telling mark of assimilation. Ness's songwriting is at its sharpest and most memorable here. The powerful ...

| | VH1 Presents The Corrs Live In Dublin CD (2002)
Coral Fang
$6.79 
This audio document of The Corrs' Dublin homecoming concert has pretty much everything fans of Irish pop could wish for, including an appearance from Bono in his earthly incarnation, fresh from an audience with President George W. Bush. It's to the band's credit that the charismatic singer fails to steal the show, despite creditable efforts via an anthemized version of Ryan Adams' beautifully downtempo "When the Stars Go Blue," and a great, leering rendition of Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra's "Summer Wine."
Somewhat more mysteriously, Rolling Stone Ron Wood also turns up on what sounds dangerously close to a lounge version of Jimi Hendrix's "Little Wing," but this minor faux pas is redeemed by the Irish folk medley "Joy of Life/Trout in the Bath" which arguably features more full-on Irishness than the Dublin production of RIVERDANCE. There's also a lovely rendition of Neil Young's "Only Love Can Break Your Heart" that's topped only by Ron Wood's reappearance on a finale of the Stones' "Ruby Tuesday." VH1 PRESENTS THE CORRS LIVE IN DUBLIN is a fine mix of ...
| | Lamb Of God - Killadelphia DVD (2005)
Coral Fang
 $9.69
Metal band Lamb of God may hail from Richmond, Virginia, but their dark brand of melodic thrash pits them squarely in the midst of the European (and mostly Scandinavian) death-metal tradition. KILLADELPHIA captures the band performing live at Philadelphia's Trocadero in October 2004 for 15 tracks of pure metal fury (including six from their major-label debut ASHES OF THE WAKE) as well as behind-the-scenes footage from their world tour. Songs include "Laid to Rest," "Bloodletting," "Now You've Got Something to ...
| | Dredg Catch Without Arms CD (2005)
Coral Fang
$8.49
Early on, critics often described Dredg as a metal group. However, the quartet has since matured into a hard-edged indie-rock ensemble that seeks diversity and refinement in its music. On CATCH WITHOUT ARMS, the band favors highly orchestrated parts, dense guitar riffs, and powerful drumming. Each song is based around memorable vocal hooks and sensitive lyrical content.
Many tracks on CATCH WITHOUT ARMS have a searching quality to them. Despite the sheer force of the music, this release is ultimately marked by well constructed melodies and intriguing harmonic underpinnings. This is due in part to singer Gavin Hayes, who sounds more like U2's Bono than a metal screecher. Hayes's tenor soars above tunes such as "Ode To the Sun" and the ...
| | 30 Seconds To Mars Beautiful Lie CD (2005)
Coral Fang
$10.99
When rock bands include a Hollywood actor among their ranks, more often than not the results are mediocre vanity projects. However, 30 Seconds to Mars proves to be an exception to this rule, with Jared Leto (renowned for roles in FIGHT CLUB and LORD OF WAR) capably fronting this intense pop-metal outfit. On the group's second album, A BEAUTIFUL LIE, Leto is a remarkably versatile vocalist and the band's sole songwriter, leading the quartet through potent tracks that recall A Perfect Circle ...
