CD Reviews

The Only Mainstream Song Is Whisper To A Scream

relativeash2001 | Reno, NV, USA | 07/05/2001

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Now, if you have no idea in hell who these guys are, they are the people who brought you Birds Fly (Whisper to A Scream) during the end credits of the film 'Scream.' The rest of this CD is pretty much the same type of music, but actually is coherent and understandable. In a strange way, it is an angst sort of album that truly makes you want to do something. No, this is not the "in your face" type of album, but instead the album that explains to you its feelings. Many albums attempt to do this and fail. I would compare, lyric wise, this album to Dave Navarro's now popular "Trust No One." The lyrics truly stand out. The musical sense of the album is original, mixing the likes of Radiohead in some songs with a new variation of punk in others. If you are a fan of independent music or a fan of the film 'Scream' and its song 'Birds Fly(Whisper to A Scream), give this album a try. It will either be a hit or miss, but with me, it was a sure hit. Thank you."
