Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

On Kill Your Own, Surrey rockers Hundred Reasons set out to put further distance between themselves and their cry-baby emo peers, ratcheting up the heaviness and shelving the relationship clichés endemic to the post-hardcore genre in favour of brutal, fist-punching youth anthems that drag this genre back to its moshpit roots. "Live Fast, Die Ugly" in particular is the band’s heaviest track to date, a Queens Of The Stone Age-style rampage pock-marked with lurching stop-start potholes, vocalist Colin Doran’s voice cracking under the strain. The title track, too, is an oddity – a gnarled rock-out lent a rhythmic electro-rock feel by drummer Andy Bews’ pulsing, insistent kick-drum. There are some moments that play to Hundred Reasons’ more familiar strengths – "Destroy" and "Breathe Again" tread the same optimistic hardcore territory that made 2002’s Ideas Above Our Station such a breath of fresh air. However, the occasional heavier moment aside, it’s true that this album sounds like a band comfortable to rattle around in their niche rather than confidently break new ground. --Louis Pattison

5.0 out of 5 stars 11 Reasons, 20 Mar 2006
I loved ‘Ideas above our Station,’ fresh crisp and raw riffs, the right balance between singing and screaming, and unique melodies...these guys had definitely found their own sound in a saturated emo/screamo/harcore market.

I imagine when ‘Shatterproof……’ came out, most people were looking for more of the same, only to be disappointed by it’s lack of immediacy. If only they and their own record label had given it time, they would have seen it for the gem it was. Despite the general slower pace than the debut it was again choc full of raw riffs and anthemic melodies, showing a maturity rare for a second album. They tried to break to the mould and escape the post hardcore tag, which they did…but few seemed to want it.

‘Kill Your Own’ does seem to hark back to the immediacy of their debut and as such will no doubt get a wider audience on that basis alone. The merits go well beyond immediacy though.

For me the production is key. The riffs are there, the melody is there and Colin Doran’s vocals are his best yet, no doubt benefiting from his airing and improving vocals with the Luck Nine. However, there is so much depth to the production that you are continually picking out new elements of the songs.

There is a very live feel to the album, a trick more accomplished producers have tried and failed at. Although at times it seems bass-ier than the previous two albums none of the crunch is lost in the guitars. In fact all instruments seem to stand out at the right time....is it me or is that cowbells or rim shots to the fore in Feed the Fire?...brave but effective.

They have still not broken into guitar solo territory in any big way, any appearing on this album being short, minimal and sweet (in a not so sweet way). Why bother when the songs are this good.

I’m not going to pick out classic my favourite tracks, they all stand up on their own. There are most definitely 11 Reasons to buy this album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kill Your Own, 26 Mar 2006
By A Customer
This is a fantastic return from Hundred Reasons. One of the best things about Kill Your Own is the consistency, lots of great songs that'll make choosing singles difficult! Personal favourites are the fastpaced "Live Fast, Die Ugly", the beautiful "Breathe Again" and the immense "No Pretending". Hundred Reasons have made good progress from their previous albums "Ideas Above Our Station" and "Shatterproof is not a Challenge".

Overall an example of British Rock music at its best.

4.0 out of 5 stars Happy Days!, 16 Mar 2006
Believe it or not, it’s been four years since Hundred Reasons debut release, “Ideas Above Our Station” but now they have returned with the release of their new album “Kill Your Own”. From the ashes of what was left after bands like lostprophets, Incubus and Hoobastank were burning through the charts, Hundred Reasons make a return, threatening to put all this emo and indie nonsense to an abrupt end. Well maybe not, but they’re going to give it a damn good try. The album is chock-a-bloc with full-on energy infused tracks such as forthcoming single “Kill Your Own” laden with pounding bass lines, thrashing drums and the unforgettable harsh raspy vocals from Colin Doran creating infectiously addictive music. Although true to Hundred Reasons’s formula they never venture too far into the dangerous woods of hard rock, every so often they take a cheeky break and bless us with their more uplifting harmonic songs such as “The Chance” or “This Mess” that will be sure to cause lighter flames to shine during their live shows. Most importantly they don’t overcomplicate they’re songs with needless samples or never-ending solos; they keep it simple then work on it, producing a really great rock album. Whether you’re nostalgic for the glory days or you’ve done your Arctic Monkeys CD to death, “Kill Your Own” makes a damn good album and shows a triumphant return from Hundred Reasons
