(2 Customer Reviews)
The full title of this album ends, "In Case of Those Appointed to Die." As a whole, the title makes this sound like it should be the work of yet another of those Canadian post-rock bands spun off from Godspeed You Black Emperor! In an odd sort of way, there's some of that feeling on this album: the songs fade seamlessly into one another, and there are so many dynamic shifts and time signature changeups that it helps to keep an eye on the front of the CD player to know when one ends and the next starts. However, except for a few passages of relative delicacy in linking instrumental tracks like "The Introduction" and "Everything Becomes Still," this is a pulverizing, thrashy metalcore exercise through and through. What's most interesting about the album is the placement of the vocals. Though Robert Meadows' vocal style itself is merely the usual hoarse barking, his vocals are placed so low in the mix that it's not until the fourth track, "Almost Perfect But I Failed," that it's clear that he's singing actual words at all: on much of the album, his vocals sound more like the subhuman cries of a large gorilla. This is neither an insult nor a complaint, incidentally, because the effect adds to the mystery of this ambitious but inscrutable album. [The 2004 reissue of this album, originally released in 2000 in a limited edition, features an improved remix and remastering, all-new artwork, and a trio of bonus tracks, two early demos of songs from this album's follow-up and a more recent live recording.] ~ Stewart Mason

| Open Your Mouth For The Speechless Music Review Average Rating: (2 out of 5 stars)   Good but not amazing This is a good album, most likely the best that A Life Once Lost has made. After this, they turn into a wannabe Messhugah-esque moshcore band.
A few songs that are great, including Joan said Please...
Not a must own, but definently give it a listen if your a fan of bands like The Number 12 Looks Like You and early Dillinger Escape Plan- (before they perfected their sound.) Submitted by sara (Texas) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
I had to listen through every song To give this review, just to make sure there wasn't a hidden good song on the album, this is total garbage, not even good enough to be garbage, it might work for crazy cruddy music in the background of a vampire movie, but that's about the only thing I'd recomend it for, to listen to you might as well go into a mental institute where they are all mad & screaming incoherent bable. You'd get the same effect. Submitted by * Collecting Dust 1981* (Seattle, WA) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No

$12.69 I don't know what it is about this release, but it is so beautiful to just relax and collapse into some weird trance between music and noise, silence and poetry, some weird nexus of time and space, love and hate - and in the very middle, where everything collides, there resides Radium88. I don't know what it is about them, and I really don't evenknow how to accurately describe them, but I know that they bring a smile to my face, sit back, lay down and zone out. There is nothing original here, per se, but ...
