good honest rock,

This review is from: Falling Away (Audio CD)
only became aware of crossfade after it was recommended to me by Amazon, so I looked them up on the web (myspace and crossfade's own site) and heard a few of the songs from this album which sounded promising so I took a chance and bought this album. I wasn't disappointed.
in my opinion, the only poor song is the end track. The rest of the album is great, with a mix of big guitars and vocals. My favourite track is breathing slowly (track 8), but tracks, 2,3,4,5,6,9 & 10 all stand out (thats right, just about the full album). tracks 1 & 7 aren't bad at all, just not as strong as the rest. Crossfade seem to be a talented band with great musicianship and imaginative lyrics. hope they keep it together and release a future albums. my personal taste in music are bands like, alterbridge/creed, submersed, logan, shinedown, 12 stones, nickelback, daughtry and the like, so if you like any of these bands, Crossfade are worth looking up. If you haven't heard of any of these bands, shame on you! look them up now!!!!!

Considering Crossfade's first album is an absolute hard rocking belter of an album. I like many looked forward to buying their second album. This effort is very bland and lacks the energy and force of their first. It's ok in places and really only the ballads sound even decent which leaves the rest of the album very boring. Stay away and buy something else. nuff said.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Painfully Average,
By A. Estes - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Falling Away (Audio CD)
You may remember Crossfade, as coming out from nowhere with their big hit single in 2004 with "Cold." Since that song faded out on the airwaves, it's been a pretty low-profile for the band. Well, here we are in 2006, the band has ditched their turntablist/backing vocalist and have emerged with a new album, "Falling Away" that promises more and more radio-play, with each and every song seemingly tailor-made for mainstream rock stations.
Does anything live up to the catchiness and effect of their one big hit? Well, like their debut, the answer is pretty much "no." There are a few songs that show true growth and improvement, such as "Breathing Slowly" "Never Coming Home" and "Washing The World Away." Songs like "Invincible" and "Someday," however, come across as feeble attempts to recapture that magic. For those who dug the rap-rock vibes of the first CD, you'll be disappointed to find that element is missing (thanks to a missing member, I presume). Personally, I think they're the better for it, but if "Death Trend Setta" was your thing, you'll probably hate this album. I'm not gonna say this album is all bad. The three tracks I mentioned are definitely worth looking into this album for, and catchy rock-filler like "Anchor" and "Falling Away" help make it a more appealing listen. It's a better album than the first one, but still a far cry from greatness. The sad fact is that Crossfade's sound is nothing overly original or inspiring. Just simple modern-rock for the masses -- not that there's anything wrong with that... 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful:

Switchfoot, Breaking Benjamin, Flaw, 3 Days Grace, Crossfade... what's the difference?,
By R. Gorham "RCG2" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Falling Away (Audio CD)
THE BAND: Ed Sloan (lead vocals, guitar), Mitch James (bass), James Branham (drums & percussion).
THE DISC: (2006) 11 tracks clocking in at just under 40 minutes. Included with the disc is a 4-page foldout containing song titles/credits, song lyrics, band photos, and than you's. Recorded at Superstar Studios, West Columbia, SC. Label - Columbia. COMMENTS: Judging by the lack of reviews here on Amazon, Crossfade's popularity is waning. Outside of the occasional "Cold" from their 2004 debut, and a quick run of "Invincible" from this album when it was first released in August '06... I'm not hearing Crossfade on the radio. The problem here is... the songs are down-right average. The players are competent, but the melodies just aren't memorable. The other issue is there are too many bands putting out the same style of music... but, with better tunes (out of the group listed above, Breaking Benjamin is probably the best). With that being said, there are some decent songs here - the opener "Washing The World Away", the semi-hit "Invincible", the moderate rocker "Breathing Slowly", and the piano ballad closer "Never Coming Home". Crossfade's debut was better, but not by much (at least it had one full fledged hit). "Falling Away" is a tamer group of songs - an average album that meets and occasionally exceeds expectations (2.5 stars). 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful:
2.0 out of 5 stars
what a dissapointment!,
By Ryan L. Daugherty - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Falling Away (Audio CD)
The follow-up to Crossfade's self-titled debut is...well, it just not as good. In fact, I hated this album. The only good songs are "Already Gone", "Invincible", and "Drown You Out." I tried to like the rest, I really did. But after listening to the album numerous times, I couldn't helping feeling like i wasted my money. I expected so much more from Crossfade. Seemingly all the songs have the same recurring theme (the word "pain" is used in several), and the tone of the songs just doesn't flow very well. Several songs have a number of different melodies, stopping and then starting again. It seems as if the band was experimenting and didn't know what kind of sound they were looking for, and the album suffers from it. BOTTOM LINE: borrow the album from a friend, then download the songs. Don't waste your money.
