"If you were a fan of One Side Zero's first release, like I was, you will be dissapointed in this album. It's totally different. They tried to make themselves a little more hard this time around, and it doesn't work for them. They were awesome with a more melodic sound, which is almost non-existent on this album."

Not what I expected

"Unlike most people who have written reviews for Onesidezero's second album, I have not heard anything from their first. When I saw them under similar bands to Framing Hanley, I went to their Myspace page and listened to Sleep and My Confessions, I expected the rest of the album to be somewhat similar to those songs. They are not in my opinion and are not even close to sounding the same. It sounds as they try to sound like Shinedown a little too much. Now I'm not saying they don't have talent, they do and if they were to try and make their music more like their two hits they would have something going here. Probably an excellent live band but this cd did not live up to my expectations.

Stunning Second Album!!

"If you only give these guys a quick listen; you may not realize how great these guys truly are. Take each song as their own, you will see the vocals and bass lines and guitar all measure up and change vividly as the emotion of the lyrics take you into a world that is not like any other band.



Properly listen to these songs, give them moments to make sense. Do what you have to do that makes complex music work better; cause this my friends is something that makes mainstream radio rock seam depressing. (Cause guys like this have a hard time surviving cause pure radio rock (made for money) bands keep on just racking up the dollars until they fall apart on their own self-conceited selves.



You want a good rock record that brings back some awesome solos, incredible drumming, my boy Levon at the guitars perfecting the way of the guitar - and Jason telling the story with emotion; thought and purely a voice and way of singing that will send you chills down your spine from being simply varied and willing to be as honest as it takes. Music is art to these guys.



Give them a chance and give this record a couple more listens..don't blow it off. If you tired of radio rock and looking for something a little perhaps altered..and little more 'truth'; look no further.



Blows practically anything they play on the radio out of the water other than of course a few good bands they do actually play....just not alot of those :(



till next time :)"
