Newman Once Again Weaves A Masterpiece of Beauty and Dispair.......2007-07-24

What a musical masterpiece! Newman impresses me with each and every score he puts out. Meet Joe Black, Road To Perdition, Little Women... All masterpieces. This is one to put up there with the best, Newman can charm you with his consitently quirky plucked strings and percussion, and the next moment have you in chills and tears from a fully orchestrated drama piece.

If you love Newman or good film music, buy this!

Haunting, Majestic, Beautiful.......2007-07-09

The score for 'The Shawshank Redemption' was the first Thomas Newman score I ever heard, and it remains one of my favorites now, many years later.

I remember seeing the movie (I was one of the few who saw it in the theatre on its original run), and early on when the first aerial shots of Shawshank Prison appear onscreen, accompanied by the 'Stoic Theme' from the score, I felt that the movie had found its voice. As much as Morgan Freeman's melodious narration drives the story of the film, Newman's music drive the emotional heart from beginning to end.

The music is beautiful to listen to by itself -- haunting and majestic where it needs to be, but also more intimate and soft in its quieter moments. It never goes over the top with its sentimentality or dramatic tone, relying on subtle cues to convey menace, or friendship, or danger, and in the end, hope.

Like all good music for film should (a goal rarely realized), Newman's score conveys the message of the movie perfectly. It accompanies the events on screen, but it also enhances them, adds just the right tone, and really brings it to the heart of the viewer. It is safe to say that the film would not have been the same without such an accomplished and thoughtful score. In this case, it is even more true than usual -- the score is what helps to make the film so great, and with different music, the film itself would be lessened.

Thomas Newman has built a career out of creating music that is unique and moving, somehow always putting his signature on it without ever regurgitating themes or reusing the same ideas for different films. Even in such a distinguished body of work, filled with great music that moves the soul, Newman's score for 'The Shawshank Redemption' remains, fittingly, a shining moment.

Shawshank Sountrack.......2007-05-13

The film is fabulous and was in need of a brilliant soundtrack to capture the incredibly painful journey of Andy Dufresne. Who can manage such a task? Why, Thomas Newman of course! Newman carefully navigates Andy's world with gentle artist's touch. Worth adding to your collection!

Nice..........2006-08-12

Newman has really made a nice soundtrack here. Pieces like "Brooks Was Here" and "Compass and Guns" may have very similiar sounds/styles, but they serve to give the movie the deep somberness that can move you.

I highly recommend this one

My all-time favorite film & score.......2006-06-20

This is probably my all-time favorite film, mainly because director Frank Darabont is an absolutely incredible storyteller (see also "The Green Mile" and "The Majestic").

The film wouldn't be nearly as powerful without this amazing soundtrack. The disc is great from start to finish, but my two favorite tracks on the CD are taken from (what I believe) are the two most emotional scenes in the whole movie: Andy tells Red about his dream of "Zihuantenejo"; and the flashback which shows how Andy pulled off his risky escape, thus the "Shawshank Redemption."

The Origins of Ruin emphasises once again their unique musical skills. Complex songwriting combined with melodic heaviness, Redemption play Melodic Progressive Metal the way it should be!

Please Ignore the Idiot reviews.......2007-07-29

First please, please, ignore the review left by a person who doesn't have the "I.Q." to understand prog. metal like Harry Tenench for example. Mr. Tenench please don't leave idiotic reviews about something you can't comprehend.....nuff said?
Ok sorry, now for the review....lol. This CD is incredible!! Ray Alder should "Leave the Past Behind" with Fate's and stick with this project fulltime. Redemption's lyrics and song composistions IMO is better than current D.T.M. albums.
If you want to hear something that can make your soul rise and soar within the melodies and riffs of some fabulous music, order this C.D. with the quickness! Peace and love to all, C.D. out !..!

This is good music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2007-07-26

Redemtion is a band following in the footsteps of a great band like Dream Theater.Though not as complex,they are in their own way a very tight and amazing band! While I don't have the first 2 albums yet,The Origins of Ruin is getting played alot alongside the new Dream Theater.I can't wait to see them live with DT in Houston on Aug.3.
I recomend anyony who is into prog metal to pick this cd up,it's a great album with alot of different aspects of the prog genre intertwined!Plus Ray Adler of Fates Warning is singing!I wish Fates sounded this good!

Pleasant (and intense) surprise........2007-06-29

I was very disappointed with the first two (overrated) Redemption releases, but this is stellar. Far more inspired and interesting than the relatively mundane earlier efforts. The songwriting has matured, while Alder's melodic vocals float atop intense, addictive riffs and intricate polyrhythms. The newfound complexity and polish has this in the running for a top 3 prog album of the year.

Far better than anything Redemption has done to date and superior to anything Fates Warning has released since the incomparable aPSoG.

excellent prog metal.......2007-06-01

this album is great, i bought my copy a few weeks ago and i have been enjoying it sinse. the vocalist is very good. so dont listen to the review some moron wrote. and the musicianship is outstanding. very tight and very catchy. heavy and melodic perogressive madness! and what a great drummer! also full of great memorible guitar melodies, leads, and agressive and beautiful soaring solos. so i highly recommend this album, to prog fans and even just good old metal heads that like good musicianship. fans of dream theater, symphony x, or even bands like soilwork and mercenary will enjoy this!

Again a super album from a talented band called Redemption.......2007-05-12

And with this third album Redemption will do it again.
Fans of progressive Heavy Metal eat your heart out, if you like the voice of Fates Warning, Ray Alder is singing his lungs out on this album, super Super SUPER!!!
The great song writing of Nicolas van Dyk will bring you in a marvelous journey of heavy riffs, great solo's of Agent Steel's guitar player 'Bernie Versailes', pounding bass and great drums.
But don't forget the master himself on keys and guitar, Nicolas.
So, if you will do yourself a pleasure, buy this album and stay HEAVY!!!

It would be easy to pass off this latest Jars of Clay release as a marketing gimmick, especially as more and more Christian artists are turning to casting age-old hymns in their own creative image. Has the modern praise-and-worship songwriting well run dry or are artists truly looking back over time to gain that "renewed and refreshed perspective" as Jars describes this effort in the liner notes for Redemption Songs? The thoughtful listener will quickly discover that the latter is true. Jars of Clay's acoustic, organic sound is an ideal approach to presenting "very old words set to almost completely modern music" as never once does the music overshadow the power of the words. The band captures the essence of hope and joy in tracks "God Will Lift Up Your Head," "It Is Well With My Soul," and the rousing "Nothing But the Blood," aided by the great Blind Boys of Alabama. On the other side of the emotional spectrum, the needful ache of man seeking God is well captured with melancholic "I Need Thee Every Hour" and "Hiding Place." Other special guest appearances by Sarah Kelly on "I'll Fly Away" and Delirious' Martin Smith on "Let Us Love and Sing and Wonder" all fit well within the reverential mood of this marvelous release. If this record doesn't renew and refresh you, it may be time to check your pulse. --Michael Lyttle

Not very redeeming.......2007-07-24

I wanted this CD to be some of the old hymns sung with all the verses in the original tune, but it wasn't.
There were too few "Old" Redemption Songs, and odd music, with most the song being the chorus repeated..
over...and over...and over...
I only hear one of the songs on the radio.... just not what I was thinking it would be .....

Classics with a new generation twist.......2007-07-07

Many of the classics with a New Generation Twist. I enjoy the added instruments to the oldies. Jars of Clay does a great job. My favorite is "Fly Away".

Soft/country rock is nice alternative (but no substitute).......2007-05-13

If you're looking for a traditional treatment of classic hymns, don't buy this album. But if you enjoy the lyrics of these old hymns and you are open to a slightly different take, try this CD. I grew up with traditional hymns and love them very much. There are no substitutes for those, but this album is a really nice alternative. I appreciate the fact that it's not too worship-y, by which I mean praise phrases are not repeated incessantly. The music is nice, with a bit of a soft rock and sometimes a country rock flare.

I have another JOC album but wouldn't call myself a true fan. There is actually very little Christian music that I like because it is too poppy and praisy. But I very much appreciate this album and rate it 5 stars. (As for my general musical tastes, I love classic rock, followed by alternative rock.)

A praise album of substance.......2007-04-05

By turns rockin' and mellow, this album is always deeply felt music of traditional worship songs and spirituals, given an injection of modern energy and color by a group of real musicians with soul. Even the "weaker" songs grow on one with time. A keeper.

Super Duper.......2007-02-20

If you enjoy old hymns with a little more peppy pace - this is for you.

Fates Warning Fans Take Note!.......2007-05-14

I gave this disc 4 Stars instead of five because some of the lyrics are a little cheezy. (Are you really hoping for the "Ghost of a second chance"?) Having said that, the disc is outstanding. The songs are tight and the edge is hard. It reminds me quite a bit of Fates' "Disconnected". I would choose this over "Origins" by the same band, but both are great. I still think Ray Alder is the best lead singer going today.

Pushes the boundaries and sets new standards.......2007-03-28

Let me tell you: This is one monster of an album. It pushes the boundaries of rock music in several ways and sets new standards for progressive rock. Now let me tell you why I think that this is such an amazing album:

First, the concept. It's about a person - it could be me or you - who midway through life experiences that his/her life falls apart. Everything falls into doubt. All emotions peak - agony, despair, sorrow, rage, release - the fullness of time.

Second, the composition. Well, what can I say: overwhelming, at first. Everything is pushed to its limit, and beyond. Pressed to find a genre designation, I would say: melodic heavy metal. But then I have to add that this is very intelligent music. There is some thrash, but it doesn't take over; it substantiates the music. And there's plenty of beautiful melody and ingenious riffs.

The person behind the concept and composition is Nick van Dyk. We haven't heard much of him yet, but you can be certain that he is setting his mark on rock music. He's trained as a classical pianist. This shows in Fullness, as there's some fine piano playing underlying the frenzied guitars and binding together the four parts of the title piece.

Third, the vocals. Ray Alder. Need I say more? Everything this guy touches, he turns to gold. Listen e.g. to his gripping vocals on Fates Warning's "A Pleasant Shade of Gray".

Fourth, the musicianship. Nick, Ray, Bernie Versailles, James Sherwood, and Chris Quirarte. All fabulous musicians in their own right, but when they get together in Redemption, wonders happen. Most of the music goes at a pretty wild pace, but it's precise and punchy. A lot of fine details emerge with many listens. Nick and Bernie complement each other nicely, as Nick has the atmospheric solos and Bernie has the stinging ones. James keeps the show together and occasionally, during the quieter passages, says hi gently. Chris' drums are all over the place in a very exciting way.

Fifth, the production. As good as it gets, crystal clear. Trust Tommy Newton, and now, seemingly, Nick van Dyk. I was especially happy to hear Ray's voice coming out so clearly with all its marvelous facets.

Sixth, the illustrations. These are the work of Travis Smith. On the front cover, there's a man who gives the impression of having just fallen from Heaven, or, more symbolically, having awakened to the human condition. On the back cover, it's as if he's saying: Almighty God, I surrender to You. In-between, there is: the fullness of time. On the inner cover, there is, in a true Michelangelan sense, first two hands that reach out for each other, then two hands that have found each other. Ingenious.

Ok, the lyrics. This is the major beef among Amazon reviewers. Let's put it this way: They're very good, but not outstanding, which does make them the weak limb in this production. For people somewhat literate, we've pretty much heard it all before. And as T. Lemos notes, they're narrative, not poetic. However, Nick wanted them to be introspective, and that they are.

Fullness Of Time is a slow grower, because it's dense. With time it will be widely acknowledged to be in a select class together with Abbey Road, Dark Side Of The Moon, Zep II, and A Pleasant Shade of Gray.

It has been an unbelievable struggle for Nick van Dyk to make Fullness the masterpiece it is, and without the help of experienced buddies like Ray Alder and Tommy Newton, it would have been a vain effort. Now, under the knowledgeable aegis of Intromental (I know 'em) and InsideOut, conditions should be favorable for the Redemption guys, and we can hope to hear more great music from them.

AMAZING.......2007-03-23

UNBELIEVABLE MUSIC--UNBELIEVABLE LYRICS
IF YOU LIKE METAL WITH GREAT MELODY THIS IS A MUST

Technically proficient Progressive Metal........2007-02-16

This was a really tough album for me to rate. On the one hand the musicianship is excellent throughout, there are some great time changes and progressive elements that keep me returning for more. But every so often the progressive tendencies overwhelm the actual song and the direction sounds random and directionless. Not to mention the lead singer is both good and annoying in equal measures. The good vocals make him sound as if he could be nailing Kansas cover tunes while the bad sections sound almost Nu-Metal. For the record, I consider Nu-Metal to be a decaying heap of vile refuse. Maybe it is that he sounds so young, or perhaps it may be the occassionally ridiculous lyrical content (see the epic song "Sapphire" for loads of relationship nonsense). That is easily my least favorite track here, though as I mentioned before there are moments everywhere, even on this song, that are impressive nonetheless. I recommend this album for its many merits, mostly the intelligent Progressive Metal aspects that push the listener into a state of unwavering focus. This is a solid Progressive Metal album, flawed and a bit rough around the edges, but still worth obtaining.

Fantastic stuff..but.........2006-04-06

Oh my god, the lyrics are horrible! Cliche after cliche! The music is still excellent, though, thankfully. If you can ignore them buy this CD. It's still worth owning.

A beautiful voice - wasted.......2007-07-10

I was introduced to Mary Fahl via October Project. I had never heard anything like them before or since and Fahl's voice is nearly beyond compare with anyone else, though as an earlier reviewer said, Annie Lennox and Carly Simon come close. I just don't think they have Fahl's range.
So, you can imagine after October Project's demise, I was looking forward to hearing more of Fahl. After-all, a voice like that just can't be silenced.
Too bad it wasn't - at least for the garbage on this album. Redemption is probably the only song that shows what she can do with her voice. The rest is just a waste of her talents. God, I certainly hope she does not go down the same road that Karen Carpenter did and make everything she sings sound like a funneral dirge. She's trying very hard with the muck written for this album to do just that. The writing credits alone should have been enough to give it away right there. HOW many people does it take to write ONE song? Apparently as many as want to have a say in it for this disaster. Listen, if you start getting more than two people tossing in their two cents worth on any one song, you had better consider not writing it, much less trying to sing it. It is going to sound like a collage of miss-matched ideas and influences. Gee - just like most of the music (if you can call it that) on this album! I certainly hope that Mary Fahl will be able to find another record label willing to take her on when her current one dumps her for this waste of money and resources - with the priviso of course that all she does is sing the songs a talented songwriter creates for her.

only 3 good song.......2007-01-11

still, october proyect is the best and her voice is the best, but this cd is not the greates but think about if you like her and then buy it.

Beautiful and Perfect.......2007-01-09

The more I listen to this cd the more I am entranced with it. I have enjoyed Mary Fahl's voice since October Project. I am eagerly awaiting some more new material. She has a very powerful and touching voice. I gain something new each time I listen to her voice, music and lyrics. Thank you Mary!

Emotional Voice.......2006-06-09

Since when the founder October Project came to an end, Mary's voice was already one one of the highlights of the band. And this is proved here. A very good debut album!

Style departure.......2005-08-14

Like previous reviewers, I too was sceptical about this CD."The
Great Unknown" seems to be an October Project track right off, billowing, inspiring and lush, you would never know the difference. It is my favorite. The rest of the songs really take a departure in style from what I am used to hearing from Mary. Though enjoyable, she seems to be searching for an audience. I hope she continues to put out sounds which can inspire and provoke thought in their writing without getting too sentimental. Pretty girl, great voice, don't let them change your style.

One of the most promising of Peter Gabriel's Real World label protégés came not from some dusty, Third World village, but from that American tire and rubber mecca, Akron, Ohio. But while Arthur's previous Gabriel-inspired adventures netted him considerable critical kudos and even a `99 Grammy nod for his self-created album art, he turns an even neater trick here. The frameworks for Arthur's 16 poetic, alternately introspective and impressionistic songs may be more firmly rooted in traditional folk and singer-songwriter formula than ever, but the influence of Gabriel seems even more pronounced on the album's evocative, often hypnotic sonic textures. Densely layered yet deceptively organic, it's a record of endless production subtleties in service of songs that trickle and dart like a playful stream of consciousness. Whether putting his own peculiar spin on romantic foibles in the dirge-turns-anthem "Favorite Girl," the upbeat energy of "Let's Embrace" and "In the Night," or conjuring more intriguing existential imagery on the fragile "You Are the Dark," Arthur has produced an album that reveals itself anew on every listen. --Jerry McCulley

Customer Reviews:

One of the most creative and engaging singer-songwriters.......2007-07-02

Another great album by one of the most interesting comtemporary singer-songwriters. Joseph Arthur draws of a wide-range of American music influences to create a unique and engaging sound all his own. He also does the art work on this and other albums which is interesting in its own right. If you do not own a Joseph Arther CD - this is an excellent one to start with.

Great album, but all over the place .......2006-10-03

What to say about this album. The bottom line is there are some great, classic songs on here, then there are some not so good song. Luckily the cd has 16 tracks and is 75 minutes long so that even if you weed out the ones you don't like you still have a lot of music to listen to. The problem is this cd has so many different types of songs in it that you really have to be a fan of all music I think to fully enjoy this album all the way through. It seems like he was trying to do a little of everything possible here, having some type of identity crisis or something. If I had to split the songs into seperate categories I would say we would have 1)Classic Joe sound (which is basically him and his guitar with possible drum beat, singing from his heart about past or present girlfriends) 2) pop/emo 3) rock/grunge 4)industrial 5)country

Now I am not a fan of somewhat cheesy pop/emo songs or country, so that makes for a problem for me and this album. I love the classic sound where he just sings his poetry and let's his voice and acoustic guitar work all the beauty, those song mostly comprise of this:

Signature Joe sound: Redemptions son, Honey and the moon, Innocent world, september baby, termite song, favorite girl, and you are the dark.

These are far and away my favorite songs on the album and I can't get enough of them. They take me to a whole new state of mind when I hear them.

Then we have "Nation of slaves" which is kind of grunge ish with kurt cobain type vocals. Then "Permission" which sounds like it could be a nine inch nails song. Not a bad thing at all if you are a fan.

But for me at all gets worse from there. Firs we have the pop/emo songs that just dont' work for me. It's not that they are horrible songs, it just sounds like he is trying to be somebody he is not. Those songs consist of the following :

I would rather hide, evidence, let's embrace, and in the night.

Then finally, my least favorite type of music, country. There are three songs on here that are borderline county songs and just can't listen to them:

Dear lord, blue lips, and you've been loved.

Well there you have it and know you know what to expect. It's worth getting for the songs that you do become passionate about, but be prepared to probably find some you dont' like.

If this was a religious album, I didn't see it........2006-07-08

Why can't the fellow sing about what he pleases? He does it well, you don't feel that he is after your soul, nor to cheat you out of your money. There may have been moments that the artist's faith shined through in his music, but this is certainly not a preachy album and mostly explores those things that people play music to explore. He sings about lost love and broken hearts and broken lives and hope and joy. I bought this with seven other CDs and I was a little afraid because of the alleged religious theme, but it is one of my favorites. The sound is crisp and varied. It has none of the glitziness or fakeness of either CCM or a lot of modern music. You are immediately drawn in. This is a good album, full of good music and good lyrics. I suggest it.

There's something about Joseph Arthur..........2006-01-23

This is probably my favorite Joseph Arthur album he's the kind of artist I think would be an intresting person to meet. He's also the kind of artist you can listen to at night and dream of places you've never been but plain to, or even just hope to visit. On a subtle summer afternoon you can listen to him and almost take joy in the mosquitos biting. You can even listen to him on a hard rainy day and be happy in the midst of a great depression. This musician, on this album especially, has the ability to mellow out any great feelings of sorrow or ectasy and just make you feel content. And you get your moneys worth with eighteen tracks.

And to Vincent, Please, in the future can you refrain from confusing someones beleifs with the quality of their music?

I could listen to this album all night.......2005-12-30

Redemption's Son is the first Joseph Arthur album I purchased. I heard Honey and the Moon on a public radio station and just had to have it...I was sold. I went out expecting this c.d. to be one of those where you pick one or two songs and play them on repeat. I was so wrong. Each song adds something great to this album. I can go through each track and think...I know exactly what he's talking about. Joseph has a beautiful voice and his music is full of emotion and passion. He uses a wide variety of musical backgrounds on this album and the thing I really love about him is how he uses so many different vocal tracks...he uses his voice as much as he does other instruments. In my opinion he's one of the better artists of today.

Mediocre Prog, at Best.......2005-08-25

After buying and repeatedly listening to Redemption's second disc, "The Fullness of Time," which I consider to be a true masterpiece and the best progressive rock disc of 2005 thus far, I simply had to purchase Redemption's debut disc. I figured that based on the online reviews that I was making a sound investment, but what I got was a disappointment.

First of all, the lineup of musicians seemed to lack chemistry, outside of Nick van Dyk and Bernie Versailles' symbiotic musical relationship; beyond the guitars nothing seemed to meld together well.

Secondly, the vocals were lacking. Rick Mythiasin seemed to be giving a half-hearted performance. To me his voice is somewhat reminiscent of early Geoff Tate, but Geoff Tate holding back and not giving it his all. It seemed to me that Rick Mythiasin didn't really want to be there recording this album and he kinda showed it by cutting away immediately after finishing his parts in the studio.

Third, outside of "Nocturnal," the songwriting doesn't hold up well when compared to other progressive albums that are considered to be great, including Redemption's own second album.

Finally, the disc is POORLY mixed; the vocals, in particular, are set too far back in the mix, making it harder to enjoy the disc.

All in all this is a mediocre release that could have been so much better. Regretably it falls short of the mark.

7 Progressive Masterpieces on an 8-Track Album.......2005-03-18

Sometimes super-groups result in something bland; a collection of musicians from other bands that get together to make something weaker than what their individual members can concoct.

Thankfully, this prog-metal ensemble does not fail. Composed of Jason Rullo (Symphony X), Rick Mythiasin (ex-Steel Prophet), Bernie Versailles (Fates Warning) and headed by mastermind Nick Van Dyk, the album is a dark and rapid progressive effort. Most of the artwork was done by Travis Smith, whose portfolio includes some of the darkest and most lush landscapes in the metal scene. It is very fitting with the dark music that Van Dyk and company have arranged.

The first four songs encompass the "Desperation" suite, based on Stephen King's novel by the same name. It begins with Michael Romeo's (Symphony X) orchestral rendition of Aaron Copland's "Billy the Kid", which leads right into the song's main guitar riff. From there, the four songs are unstoppable, effortlessly churning out amazing progressive melodies and extremely memorable choruses, each individual piece standing alone while contributing to the suite's success. The Desperation suite alone is worth the price of the album.

This shouldn't take away from the remaining songs. "Nocturnal" is a hard-rocker - aggressive and simple, with crunchy guitars and eerily-harmonized vocals. "Window to Space" is a 13-minute progressive beast, covering various melodies, all of which culminate in a keyboard/piano melody. "As I Lay Dying" is another short(er) progressive piece in Dream Theater's vein, but it mostly a prelude to "Something Wicked This Way Comes", a 24-minute disappointment. The song is not as musically diverse as Symphony X's "The Odyssey" or Dream Theater's "A Change of Seasons" to sustain such a tremendous musical narrative. It is, however, the only disappointment in a truly amazing album.

Quality prog metal that has a statement to make.......2003-10-28

While the name Redemption is pretty new in the prog metal genre, the people who perform on the project are not. On the contrary, they remind me of an all-star line-up like Arjen Lucassen's Ayreon. Redemption is guitarist Nick van Dyk's offering. After co-writing songs on Fates Warning vocalist Ray Alder's Engine album, he finally started work on putting this band together. He seems to have benefitted a lot from having worked with Alder, as we see other Fates Warning members on the CD as well. Prog metal drum god Mark Zonder plays on one song ("As I Lay Dying") and Joey Vera appears as the sound engineer of the album. Alder sings lead vocals on the second track and does back-up on a few others. He also co-produced the album with Nick. The notable line-up also features Symphony X drummer Jason Rullo, and as usual he does a great job. Bernie Versailles from Agent Steel, Fates Warning, and Engine plays lead guitars on the record. He must be another acquintance of Nick's from the Engine project. Behind the mic we have the amazing vocalist Rick Mythiasin formerly of Steel Prophet; now in New Eden and Taraxacum.

As for Nick van Dyk, he co-produces the album, he plays bass, rhythm guitars, keyboards, and he is the main songwriter. A very multi-dimensional musician to say the least.

Michael Romeo from Symphony X appears in the liner notes as a guest musician who helped Nick with the orchestration and keyboard programming, and it shows. The dark cover art has the Travis Smith trademark all over it, and it's a very fitting art as far as I am concerned.

Sensory Records describes Redemption's music as dark prog metal with a sound that reflects a combination of Evergrey, Savatage, Kansas, Iron Maiden, and of course Fates Warning. While I do not necessarily think the album sounds like any of those band in particular save Fates Warning, I do relate to the dark feel of Evergrey, to Sava's amazing piano and keyboard textures, to Maiden's beautiful lead guitar work, to Kansas' proggy roots and of course Fates' sublime song structures. It is hard to liken the music on this disc to any of these bands, but I guess it would be safe to say that Redemption offers quality American prog metal with a unique touch. They seamlessly blend complexity and melody with two independent semi-concepts, one based on the Stephen King novel titled Desperation. The first four songs focus on it. Needles to say the songs all have 'redemption' as the underlying theme. "Nocturnal" fills the gap between the two concepts also giving us a few minutes to enjoy the band's work in free form. It is a given that most prog projects evolve around conceptually based stories, but sometimes, as in "Nocturnal" and "As I Lay Dying", it is great to experience the band's other aspects musically and lyrically. These songs are also very interesting in the way that they explore the nature of human relationships, faith, regret and similar themes. The last song "Something Wicked This Way Comes" clocks in at over 25 minutes with its epic feel. The writing is amazing, as are Rick's vocals, save for the somewhat disappointing mix.

Rick Mythiasin is an amazing singer. Those of you who have heard his work with Steel Prophet (Messiah is a great starting point if you're unfamiliar with them) should know what I'm talking about, and I feel had it not been for the unfortunate mix, this would have been his best vocal performance to date. It's a shame that his voice is drowned by the sometimes too heavy rhythm guitars and bass by Nick. Also his vocals seem to be mixed a bit too far back for my liking. It could also be the drastic change in his singing, since Rick isn't originally a prog metal vocalist. He is a high pitched wailer going from soaring screams to fiery vocal deliveries. On this CD he has toned it down to a more melodic, mid-range tone that makes him sound quite different. He prefers to stay within this range during most of the album, although we do get to hear a few of his godly screams where he totolly rules the songs. He has a great combination of melody and power in his voice and I absolutely love it. [Rick left the band shortly after recording his parts on it and was replaced by Magnitude 9 singer Corey Brown, who is perhaps a more fitting figure to the band.] Except the vocals, the production is really crip and clear with a very precise feel. The bass work, drums and rhythm guitars are thick and very full. The keys are placed a bit in the back, and that's how it should have been to my ears.

To sum it up, the debut Redemption is an album that has numerous textures. It's a hybrid of many of the elements that I love to hear in prog metal. It is certainly quality songwriting and well crafted musicianship and like many other prog discs it may take some time to 'hit' you in the face. After all, don't most prog metal classics require repeated listens to open up to you? And Redemption is definitely no exception.

Beautiful.......2007-07-06

What a record ! I haven't listened to them for a long time, but now this has become one of my favourite. Awesome production, brilliant throughout the way. Some majestic, satanic greatness is revealed by adding two top musicians who shred just awesome heart-ripping solos. Listen to "Homage For Satan", you'll understand ! What beautiful melodies. This record stands out breaking the cliches and the monotony of other bands. This one mixes the specific Deicide sound with new, incredible creative guitars and wonderful melodic solos. Get it !

Deicide moving up!.......2007-05-25

I just got this Cd and heard it. I'll say this you can tell it is certainly produced better and the joining of the two new guitar players made a big difference in the way Deicide sounds overall. Lyrically it is mostly then same Benton hooray about his hate for God and everything Christian but that is his problem. I'm still not convinced to be a devil worshipper. Anyway otherwise this is probaly the best Deicide album been made.

Deiwow.......2007-05-12

This by far has to be the best album Deicide has ever produced. I have tried to listen to previous Deicide albums in the past but never saw the genious behind them. I was actually skeptical upon purchasing this album but I had heard such praise I had to buy it. This album does not disappoint. I now have respect for Deicide after hearing this cd. This actually has to be one of the best death metal albums in my collection. Everything came together on this album. The song writing is tight. Every song on here is great.I think another reason the album was so great is because of Ralph Santolla and Jack Owen. These guys are a great guitar duo. Buy this cd without hesitation. I think the only problem with this cd is I listen to it too much.

A slight change of style for original Tampa Bay metal monsters Deicide.......2007-04-08

With the departure of the Hoffman brothers, Glen Benton has acquired himself two worthy replacements in the form of Ralph Santolla (ex-Iced Earth) and Jack Owen (classic Cannibal Corpse era). Now don't get me wrong, the Hoffman brothers will be missed, as they had a sound that was instantly recognizable. But Santolla and Owen also make their own mark on 'The Stench of Redemption' with an almost melodic battery of riffs that add a new dimension to the Deicide sound. Steve Asheim delivers his pinpoint-accurate, speed-of-sound drumming as always. And Glen Benton seems to command a better vocal mix here than on predecessor album 'Scars of the Crucifix'. Definitely among the best death metal releases of 2006.

A new lineup for Deicide proves to record their most provocative album to date..........2007-03-28

In an era where every single CD (despite of its strengths and weaknesses) has a tag line with "brutal" in it, Deicide is truly one of the few bands deserving of a brutal title.
This isn't just the best release since maybe Serpents of the Light. This is simply the best thing Deicide has ever created. With the addition of Jack Owen and Ralph Santolla on guitars, some true guitar skills have been added to the band. Where as the Hoffman brothers just spit out riffs written by Asheim and Benton. This album has the best production, fastest playing, and a surprising totally melodic aspect. Tons of harmonies and Meldodies without ever sounding compromised, sold-out, or softer in their appeal. Ripping solos with a lot of classical influence. And unlike all modern technical death metal, Deicide remain true to the straight-ahead classic death...but never get boring. In fact this album has more diversity than most death metal albums. The drumming isn't just one constant blast beat from opening to ending like everything else these days. Glen Benton's vocals are more brutal than ever (and he never tires with age), with utilization of the 3-Pitch Cobra. It is actually a very unique conquest.
This album is released with Earache which is reputable, as they are one of the few original underground metal labels that hasn't caved-in to signing endless amounts of talentless eye-liner and Castro hat bands.
Deicide have forged the Death Metal path, and still reign as masters. No death-core outfit could ever compare to these true originators.

Tight with these!.......2007-07-09

YO, this is Stephy jey of Goddisciples. This cd was pretty tight. I actually liked it just as much as dichotemy a. I was really feelin the joints and as usual, the beats were raw. They still needa cop some beats from me, but they don't relize it yet.

[...]

Not as good a the last one.......2007-02-01

The CD starts off with a distinctly Southern(read: TN) rap feel. By this I mean heavy beats and somewhat thin loops for the background. The expertise of this duo is not immediately obvious. Around about track 4, things pick up and get back on track to what you would expect. A feature by Canibus was surprising, given the genre. Overall, the CD has the typical 1-3 winners, along with some additional filler.

In a nutshell: Not bad for the money ($5-6), but don't pay more than $9.

Redemption.......2006-12-19

The GRITS have been holding it down for Christian rap for as long as I can remember. With Redemption, they fulfilled their commitment to Gotee and are free to focus on their new record label, 5e Entertainment. While Redemption has some of their characteristic hip but southern sound and showcases their versatile lyrical styles, the first half comes off feeling almost forced which is not acceptable for a group with as much talent as they have. They get it together over the second half though, and deliver a couple of incredible joints which make the album worth having on on their own.

Best cuts: Right Back, Open Bar and We Workin.

Not bad, but not quite up to par with previous work.......2006-12-15

"Redemption" is Grits' final album with Gotee Records, as they will be going independent. This disc is a departure from the mostly rapid-fire pace of the Dichotomy A & B albums which I loved. This disc's slower, more laid back style just doesn't grab me on most cuts. However, the skillful rhyme-spitting and vocal tones are still there for Coffee and Bonafide, and they made a great move in including former LA Symphony member Pigeon John on two cuts, "Open Bar" which features a smooth track and chorus, and "You Said" which features PJ dropping clever sing-song style rhymes in a song about ill-fated relationships. The female backing vocals are also strong, but Pigeon John steals the show on these two tracks. The disc is just ok, but worth having in my opinion even if just for the two previously mentioned songs.

When are they gonna make another Art of Trans?.......2006-11-22

GRitS are at their best when the underlying foundation of a song is a strong (catchy) melody. Witness "They All Fall Down," and "Here We Go." On "Redemption," Coffee and Bone seemed to have abandoned their original purpose of making the most innovative hip-hop in the industry and have made an album that merely bites what is on the playlist of any top 40 rap station in the country. Under the guidance of the production team of Otto Price and Ric Robbins, collectively known as Incorporated Elements, GRitS made their most memorable hits: all of which followed the above-mentioned formula. Now these 3 albums, made after their departure/dismissal, have exposed Bone and Cof's greatest weakness: the inability to make compelling beats. - FYI: Pigeon John makes "Open Bar" the strongest track.

This is White Heart's best CD........2005-05-14

'Redemption' has redeemed this band in a way....This album is a much better crafted one than 'Inside' their 1995 release. the engineering is excellent (Man Overboard). The singing of Ric(k)q? Florian is better than most of his previous work (Looking Glass & Fall on Me). Some of the music sounds very new and up-to-date (Jesus & Steel and Stone) but still unmistakably W;hite H:eart. If you dig WH and haven't heard this one....well, now you know! It's very good.

Nothing but the best.......2004-04-26

If I could only listen to one band it would be Whiteheart. If I could only have one album this would be it. I have all of Whitehart's studio albums (11). This by far is the best.

Comparison.......2003-04-30

This album is a great album. Just like each of the previous albums by WhiteHeart, it is different than the one before it. Other singers and bands release albums that sound exactly the same. Whiteheart has always change their sound just enough on the next album to keep you listening. Petra, for instance, sounds the same on each CD. The thing I've enjoyed the most about Whiteheart, is that their sound changes. As an avid listener, everytime I bought the new cd that just came out, it took a couple of weeks for it to wear on me. I'd buy it and not really know what to think. Then after a little time, I'd realize, it just took a while to get used to the new sound that they produced.
This album fits right in with all of the others. Right at the top of my list.
From the 1st song til the last, this is a great cd. Jesus is one of my favorite songs. I keep hitting repeat when this one plays.

No better end.......2003-01-06

I once heard it said that no rock singer in the world can actually really sing. If that is so I would like to give them this album and see what they think about it. Rick (Ric, Riq, Rhic, Rickq and so on) Florian is a masterful singer who can easily sing to burst ear or sing to sooth the soul. Whilst this album is not as heavy as inside, it is still an absolute frigging marvel! The opening track "Looking Glass" has an awesome end solo at the end! This shows that even after so long this band can still produce absolute solid rock! I love the message of this song too. But by far my favourite songs on hear are Mark's two brilliantly penned solo written songs, "Fall On Me" and "Love Is Everything"!! These songs are amazing with some awesome acoustic guitar. And the other song I love is the last rocker of Whiteheart ever! "Jesus" sees the band on the crescendo finish. I am really sad that they are not going anymore, as I love this album a lot.

Magnificent!.......2002-11-07

I was exposed to this band after doing some research on Dan Huff.Although Dan is no longer a member, I found this release most interesting (it opened my eyes to christian rock).
Starting off with Looking Glass, it is obvious to that the production is superior to anything I`ve ever heard before.I can honestly say it`s even better than "Talk" by Yes.
Man overboard surprised me a little by being the heaviest song on the album.It is a downright rocker.The songs that follow are being well kept as melancholic masterpieces.
After buying previous albums by the band it is no doubt that this will stand out as the definitive WhiteHeart-album.
