CD ReviewsGreat Snakes. C. Chapin | 05/07/2005 (4 out of 5 stars) "This CD is kind of a seething, math-y beatdown. A lot of Botch fans (there are some ex-Botch guys here) prefer Botch since Botch was crazier and more metal and whatnot and this is more indie, but TAAS is one of those bands where there is covertly catchy stuff happening under the distortion. The words are brilliant though kind of stalker material." If this is an invitation..... David Blevins | Chesapeake, VA | 01/08/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "Ever hear a sound that literally just blows you away the first time you hear it? That's exactly what happens on "This Is Meant To Hurt You", the Jade Tree debut EP from These Arms Are Snakes (TAAS). TAAS was formed from the ashes of BOTCH and KILL SADIE, the formulaic intensity of both bands were carried out by the members. The band has been compared repeatedly to AT THE DRIVE-IN (ATDI), but it does them no justice. From the opening track "Riding The Grape Dragon", it becomes painfully obvious that TAAS' sound is way more intense than anything ATDI ever did. The second track "Run It Through The Dog", starts out cathartic and crescends into an almost jazz-fusion breakdown, which at time feels like Iceburn(ish) and harkens back to the 108 song "Being or Body?", the song picks up again with a multitude layer of sounds like an orgasmic crescendo for the ears. Vocalist Steve Sneere exlaims "if this is an invitation , then this is my R.S.V.P, so on your list you can scratch me off", on "The Blue Rose", the ultimate invitation to the EP's standout track. These Arms Are Snakes "This Is Meant To Hurt You" is at best heard through headphones to capture all the cataharis and intensity the band has to offer. Bleeding ears never felt this good. (reviewed on facedownfall.com)" Massive inspiration. Michael Dearborn | San Francisco, CA United States | 10/31/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "I haven't been this moved by an arty screamy band since Universal Order Of Armageddon."
