Free Music Notes for Don't You Fake ItFree Music Review: Different than expected, but still very good! Hit: 4 StarsWhen I first heard Face Down on the radio, I thought they would be a more fun, punky rock band. But after hearing the cd, I saw that they didn't just stick to that genre but covered many on a single cd. They can play hard rock, scream-o, and punk rock. Impressive cd!
Free Music Review: Would be good except for the screaming Hit: 2 StarsI heard some of their songs on the radio and thought this album would be good. It would be, if half the songs didn't have this low, gutteral screaming in them. I just couldn't listen. I don't think I've listened to the entire album all the way through.
Free Music Review: Harder than expected, but wonderful Hit: 4 StarsThis is a great album. It was harder than I expected. I had only heard "Face Down" when I bought it, and if you buy it you should expect a sound closer to hard rock. That's not a problem for me. I am seeing the word "screamo" applied to it online and that sounds like a pretty good description - emo-ish but with more electric guitars and some screaming.
This album really hit the "sweet spot" for me between metal and pop that other bands (Fall Out Boy, the Almost, etc.) have not found. My wife loves it even more than I do.
Free Music Review: Who am I reviewing again? Hit: 2 StarsAfter listening to this disc I thought that Hoobas..., er Three Days Gr..., er who am I reviewing again? While there are a couple catchy songs (Face Down, Damn Regret) I just couldn't find a single thing that The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus offers, at least on their first disc, that's different than the dozens other bands with an emo/faux metal sound with the occasional misplaced grunting/screaming. The definitely have potential but I bought this at the same time as Coheed and Cambria's new disc and Don't Fake It is now collecting dust while No World For Tomorrow is stuck in my head.
And to top it off, they had a guest appearance on The Hills. Need I say more?
Free Music Review: somewhat original Hit: 2 StarsI was hoping for more, this band is very much a product of the current music environment.
