2. Worlds Apart by And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead
The list author says:
"this band has truly earned the right to be as pretentious as they are. dangerousely clever with light and dark moments and displays of skill at every corner."
"fantastically obscure noise. the energy and power is hard to discover at first but it soon becomes too intriguing not to love. new u.k. talent hidden behind the usual "next best things"."
"heavy. screaming. pantomine. almost every song on this album has excellently fast grit which increases the beauty of the quieter moments. so much more is to be discovered beyond first impressions."
"the most consistently calm of the radiohead albums. which, in my opinion, is what they do best. with this cd and an open mind you can really see the intricacy of what goes on in their heads. amazing."
"more difficult than "deloused..." (difficult!!!) but with moments hidden within the jungle stunning enough to make other bands want to give up. this band has most of the ideas that other bands want."
"side project of simon neil (biffy clyro) and his Sucioperro buddy. more raw and sharper than either of the members' main bands but extremely clever, innovative and peppered with catchy pseudo pop."
"with a formula copied by hundreds of new "different" bands, interpol really are the inovators in this field. with steady rythms and addictive simplicity they still stand above their imitators."
"although this is probably not their best album, it best portrays the hidden brilliance of each member which is so often missed. there is much more to this very popular band than what they are pop for."
"people who like music but not metal will love this... its metal... but sooo good you mustn't miss it. it will convert people into scream lovers. garraunteed..."
"fusing punk rock and hip hop in a very clever style this cd is definately worth the import. i don't like hip hop or speak japanese but its ace. also, import japnese band ACIDMAN for fast melodic music"
