 (10 Customer Reviews)
Listening to the doom and gloom that permeates Earshot's sophomore effort, the initial sonic resemblance to Tool is striking. Although guitar-playing vocalist Wil Martin sounds like Tool's Maynard Keenan at times, Earshot manages to stake its own musical claim via the churning guitars of Mike Callahan and Scott Kohler and the pulsing rhythm section of bassist Johnny Sprague and drummer Chas Stumbo. Betrayal and angst are the orders of the day throughout the hills and valleys of these potent songs. Here Martin touches on plenty of dark subject matter, be it a horrible break-up (a tormented "Tongue-Tied"), or a desperate escape from a grim situation (the soaring "Goodbye"). However, Earshot does find a silver lining amid all the bad scenarios, particularly the epic "Nice to Feel the Sun," featuring a throng of howling choruses and crashing chords. With TWO, Earshot encapsulates emotional wear-and-tear in a heavy yet engaging package.
Earshot: Wil Martin (vocals, guitar); Scott Kohler, Mike Callahan (guitar); Johnny Sprague (bass instrument); Chas Stumbo (drums).
Recording information: Groovemaster, Chicago, Illinois; Henson Studios, Hollywood, California; Maple Sound Studios, Santa Ana, California; Swinghouse Rehearsal, Los Angeles, California.

Earshot is an example of a band that deserves more credit than they get. I never once heard this album on the radio, the only way I found out about it was through musicchoice. Wait and Down are two tracks that I think make this album worth buying. Check out Earshot, buy their album or tracks, give them credit so they can continue to make music.

Wil Martin has evolved from being Tool wannabe to Alice in Chains. Check out the digs on tracks 9 & 10. 'Rotten Inside'? You take a step too far lyrically to include the dopest title on earth. There's a ballad to surface?
Kamikaze! Still excited if Wil & the gang could put out record #3 to include the techniques of both worlds used this far. Step up a notch? Maybe? Huh! This sounds more refined and loose that I've ever heard before.

Besides Wait, this album gets old real fast. Plus, Should've Been There is the lamest song I've heard from a rock band yet. It's nice for a first listen or two but I recommend not wasting money on it.

Two
 $9.09 
Sure, the four heavy rockers who make up Earshot have obviously listened to their fair share of Tool. What 21st century hard rock band worth its Marshall amplifiers doesn't wear its influences proudly, whether its hip MC 5 updaters like the Hives and White Stripes, or these young lads? Though earshot utilizes Tool-like crunching, constricted riffs and Will Martin's measured-but-passionate vocal style bears more than a passing similarity to Maynard James Keenan, Earshot leans more toward an accessible, radio-ready ...
| | Lacuna Coil Comalies CD (2002)
Two
$12.85 
Representing a classic case of delayed fame, Italian goth-metal act Lacuna Coil broke into the American music consciousness via a much talked-about showing on the Ozzfest 2004 second stage, nearly two years after the release of their third album, COMALIES. Similar to its American counterparts Evanescence, this European sextet features the dual vocals of Cristina Scabbia and her male counterpart, Andrea Ferro. Despite the liberal amounts of keyboards added to the mix, guitarists Cristiano Migliore and Marco Biazzi more than hold their own, pumping choppy riffs into the 1980s-sounding "Self Deception" and the simmering opener "Swamped." What makes Lacuna Coil so unique in an often musically conservative genre is the band's ability to dabble with ethereal dynamics. Such is the case with the soaring title cut and equally potent "The Ghost Woman and the Hunter," both of which blend neo-classical riffing, swirling synth runs and a perfect juxtaposition of light and heavy vocal phrasing. To commemorate the group's Ozzfest 2004 stint, COMALIES was re-released with a bonus disc featuring nine cuts that include a mix of live and studio acoustic performances, along with videos for "Heaven's a Lie" and "Swamped."

| | Blindside About A Burning Fire CD (2004)
Two
$9.29
This is a Hyper CD, which contains regular audio tracks and also provides a link to the artist's website with the help of a web browser.
At first listen, Swedish rockers Blindside might sound similar to their American pals P.O.D. However, Blindside's fourth album, ABOUT A BURNING FIRE, is their most fully realized effort to date, bringing the band's unique take on heavy rock into distinct and full focus.
Refreshingly light on the kind of screaming vocals that have become a cliche over the years (Christian Lindskog's tuneful self-harmonizing is one of the group's major assets), Blindside's anthemic rock, with its direct, uplifting message of youthful redemption, is forcefully conveyed here. On tracks such as the churning "Eye of the Storm," which comes closest to traditional emo-core; the stuttering, filmic "Hooray, It's L.A." (featuring former Smashing Pumpkin Billy Corgan on ...
| | Crossfade CD (2004)
Two
$8.99
Shortly before recording this disc, the Columbia, SC-based heavy rock group Crossfade changed its name from the decidedly less genre-appropriate Sugardaddy Superstar. Longtime fans need not worry, though--the band still traffics in the same brand of hard-hitting, melodic neo-grunge that won it a loyal Southern following. Taking cues from rock-radio stalwarts Nickelback, Staind, and Cold, the quartet combines ...
| | Breaking Benjamin We Are Not Alone CD (2004)
Two
$10.79 
When Aaron Fink and Markus James left Universal Records act Lifer to join the then-unsigned Breaking Benjamin, many hard-rock fans were skeptical. WE ARE NOT ALONE, the latter band's sophomore effort, promises to silence the naysayers for good. Led by powerful vocalist Ben Burnley, Breaking Benjamin delivers a snap-tight, streamlined brand of heavy alternative rock with occasional detours into the rhythmic funk-metal territory inhabited by Limp Bizkit and Korn.
With strong melodies reminiscent of Staind or Incubus at their most accessible, the Pennsylvania combo makes good use of soaring vocal harmonies and ...
