Intital pressings of MELTDOWN include a bonus DVD featuring seven music videos.

Ireland's Ash plays rock the way it was meant to be--with aggressive punch, catchy hooks, and the volume knobs set to 11. Ash takes pages from the punk-pop of the Buzzcocks and the Undertones, the riff-centric 1970s hard rock of Aerosmith and AC/DC, and the gleaming, anthemic '90s sounds of Smashing Pumpkins and Nirvana. Synthesizing these elements to perfection on 2005's MELTDOWN, Ash strikes an immediately appealing balance between the dark and heavy vibe of NU-CLEAR SOUNDS and the pop emphasis of FREE ALL ANGELS.

There's no question that Ash rocks hard. "Clones" rages with the steely crunch of classic metal, and "Detonator" rides a thudding groove complete with cowbell-driven verses and a slinky, whispered breakdown that builds back into the heavy fray. But the band's secret weapon is frontman Tim Wheeler's relentlessly catchy hooks. "Orpheus," the album's leadoff single, sports a chorus that is pure sunshine, as does "Out of the Blue," but nearly every track here glows with moments of pure pop bliss. Whether with power ballads ("Starcrossed") or old-school rockers (the title track), Ash pushes the right buttons with MELTDOWN. A bonus DVD, featuring videos and documentary material, is included with the disc.

This CD/DVD set includes 5 music videos, mini documentary, and making-of footage, plus a CD of 14 tracks.

Ash: Tim Wheeler (vocals, guitar); Charlotte Hatherley (guitar, piano, background vocals); Mark Hamilton (bass guitar); Rick "Rock" McMurray (drums).Alternative Press (p.120) - 4 out of 5 - "[N]oisy pop-punk that's bratty with pogoing entitlement."

5 stars Ash Rocks!
I'm short on words today, so I'll just say this CD rocks!! Love it!! Love Ash!! Why oh why hasn't the US of A caught on to them yet? An excellent Irish rock band, to say the least! Tim Wheeler is awesome! Buy it, buy it, buy it!

5 stars how does ash just keep getting better and better!?!?
when i heard ash's last album--"free all angels", i told myself that there is no way that ash could ever make an album as awe-inspiring as this one. was i wrong! after a few listens to "meltdown", it seems that ash can now do no wrong. it's just a shame that they have yet to make it big in the US. ash are just as pop as ever, but man! some of these songs are HEAVY. the group has always been loud and punky (which was always just fine with me), but meltdown has some genuinely heavy, gritty guitar magic. "orpheus", "clones", and the title track borrow guitar licks from harder groups, such as disturbed and (especially) trust company and do it really well. tim wheeler may not have a deep, metal voice, but his has always worked great for ash; now you also hear more of charlotte's harmonies and it just adds a beautiful new depth and definition to music (listen to "starcrossed"). there is more maturity in the music, the musicianship is tighter and more cohesive (especially the drumming!), and every song is classic ash. if you love ash, this album surely will not disappoint; if you need an album to get you going, this will be it. "meltdown" is a true rocker.
