Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Although often lumped in with the rather sentimental end of post-hardcore, Harmony No Harmony sees UK rockers Million Dead moving further away from the emo paradigm, matching one of their key assets – a keen, mischievous intelligence: how else do you explain titles like "Bovine Spungiform Economics"? – with a new emphasis on widescreen rock dynamics and devious invention.

New recruit Tom Fowler’s thick, syrupy guitar tone is a key element of the new sound, but it doesn’t detract from Million Dead’s fleet-footed pace, tracks like "Father My Father" whooshing through breakdowns of astonishing complexity. The lyrics of frontman Frank Turner deserve a special emphasis, taking on as they do an absurdist, occasionally flat-out comic style: "The leg-bone is connected to the foot-bone/Is connected to the ex-board processing zones," he croons, on the Soundgarden-styled "Holloway Prison Blues"; meanwhile, "Achilles Lung" offers a cautionary tale of the ill effects of smoking. Even Turner is upstaged, however, by the appearance of a full - and somewhat foul-mouthed - choir on "To Whom It May Concern", confirming this is a band who won’t do it the right way if there’s a chance of doing it the fun way --Louis Pattison

CD Description
Underground Brit post-hardcore quartet's sophomore album follows up 2003's well-received 'A Song To Ruin'. With no concession to trends or commercialism, they continue to plow thesame furrow of raw, angular, fiercely politicized rock in the vein of the early 90s Washington DC sound, concentrating solely on improving their technique and songwriting prowess.Includes the single 'Living The Dream'.

5.0 out of 5 stars emotive, intelligent, awesome, 11 Jun 2005
By crizxcore (Herts, UK) - See all my reviews
from the outset this album aims to blow you away with a combination of interesting, very harmonic musicality and intelligent, insightful and at times genius-like lyrics from the master himself Frank Turner.

It's certainly a step forward from their last album, though I would give that 5 stars as well (it's great), as Million Dead are simply a brilliant band (who, for once, don't just sing about girls!). Frank's lyrics are inspired and he fuses them so well with the music, sometimes floating words over the top of beautiful melodies, at others screaming his lungs out over thrashing guitars. most importantly his words are always full of meaning and sung with real passion. he's certainly a man with a lot to say.

for fans of biffy clyro, yourcodenameis:milo and any other original, thought-provoking music.

awesome.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thought provoking music, with melody, 2 May 2005
By T. Gunawardena "tdag" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The anxiously anticipated follow up to the phenomenal "A song to ruin" is drawing closer. I have to admit, I am very excited.

A song to ruin was a cocktail of punk, melody, laced with lyrics that question the society in which we live (for example, there was a song that describes how children are indoctrinated into particular beliefs through fairy tales, and there is another song about the fashion industry and lifestyle magazines).

Million Dead take their name from a Refused song lyric, and Frank Turner (lead vocalist) cites Refused and Converge as two of his influences. Chances are, if you like either, you may well also like this very much. Frank also describes this second album as a more melodic, well thought out update for their debut album. So this is a must-buy for owners of the first album. Although, frankly, im sure if you bought the first one, chances are you are going to want this one anyway, i mean, the album was stunning wasnt it?!

Often misconceived as Emo, their genre is difficult to narrow down (sorry but its true). Its punk/alternative/post harcore i guess, lol, whatever that means, but that really doesnt do them justice!They deserve a category all on their own."LiVing the dream" and "after the rush hour" are both stunning singles. I implore you to buy this album and be part of the revolution. A hardworking independent british band, with real talent and genius. A must for anyone who likes their music to say something and tackle real issues.

Oh yeah, and Matt from Busted likes them too....apparently (i saw him at one of their gigs anyway,lol)

5.0 out of 5 stars The work of a band on the cusp of true greatness., 9 Sep 2006
Million Dead's first album, A Song To Ruin, was a piece of brilliant, searing post-hardcore combined with intelligent, insightful lyrics which far surpassed all of their contemporaries. Harmony No Harmony builds on this but introduces a far more progressive element, The songs go beyond the traditional boundaries of post-hardcore. An example of this is Carthago Est Delanda, which begins with a subdued bass riff which gradually builds into an epic opus similiar to the title song of the first album and showcases some of Frank's best lyrics which have become even more original and sophisticated since the first album. Another example of Million Dead's exploration of new styles and methods is To Whom It May Concern which includes a choir (!!). This album is the work of a band in the middle of expanding and revolutionising their sound (which they accomplished without sacrificing any of their earlier rawness) similar in this sense to Give 'em enough rope by The Clash. Frank's lyrics of course deserve a mention and with Carthago Est Delanda, Holloway Prison Blues, Bread and Circuses, After the Rush Hour and Harmony No Harmony he has reached a kind of genius that none of his contemporaries (who tend to stick to songs about girls) can ever hope to achieve. The fact that Million Dead have dissipated is a tragedy because there is no doubt that this album was a precursor to a magnum opus.
