"actually... i liked this cd. i'll admit that it's a little emo, especially when it comes 2 the lyrics, but if you know the difference between the EP and this CD you'd know how much more mature this CD sounds. the last one sounded like a crappy garage demo. and all i can say is that is band is definitly not scene... unfortunatly its labeled that just b/c "scene" kids listen to it."

ONE MORE TIMMMEEEEE

"I've been a BMTH fan for a while now, and this cd is by far one of the greatest CD's of all time. There is no one that can scream like Oli Sykes, and the harmonics that are brought forth with the guitars are outrageously great. And yes, these are kids making this music, right around 20 years old, and they are genius's. Not to mention the lyrics are amazing."

I could make it December everyday, but you're so blind, it m

"Love them or hate them, Bring Me The Horizon made it big with this album. "Count Your Blessings" is a modern-day slab of honest, adolescent adrenaline, complete with furious, technical riffs, pounding drums, heavy-as-ever breakdowns, and ever-quotable lyrics. "Pray For Plagues" features some incredibly technical riffs and a very catchy breakdown, a great song that made helped jettison them up the level of recognition they're at. Oli Sykes' vocals may take some getting used to, but up until that point, the music itself is still very enjoyable. "For Stevie Wonder's Eyes Only" features great lyrics that are pretty poetic, some very cool riffs and some of Oli's edgiest vocals towards the end. "Tell Slater..." features an awesome, speed-metal opening with a whammy-bar solo, and some awesome, melodic super-heavy riffs. "A Lot Like Vegas" is my possibly favorite song on the album, featuring a simple but flawless breakdown, some dimished-scale riffs and a great, passionate guitar solo, the sort of stuff to blast while cruising down the highway at night! "Slow Dance" is a nice change of pace, featuring a ballad-tempo and some slower, majestic guitars. Great atmosphere here, I wish this song was longer!

I could keep going on about the songs, but you get the idea: if you're into really heavy, but still melodic stuff, "Count Your Blessings" should indeed satisfy. A fair warning, though, "Suicide Season" sounds a lot different from this album, but if you're curious, pick that up, too. CYB is a great album, in whatever sub-genre you would want to put Bring Me The Horizon in. Regardless, for fans of this sort of stuff, it's a hands-down essential. Thanks for the time, and peace."
