Album Description

No shortcuts. No compromises. No BS. From their modest beginnings in New England's hardcore scene to their current status as one of the most influential and inspirational forces in modern music, Killswitch Engage have played by these three simple rules. With their new, fourth album, As Daylight Dies, KsE are proving that if you keep playing the game your way, you'll eventually change the rules for everyone else. We never consciously went out of our way to be different,guitarist Adam Dutkiewicz says from the band's home base in Westfield, Massachusetts. When we started this band, we just wanted to play cool riffs and scream and sing. We liked many different sounds so we tried to incorporate all these rock and pop styles while keeping a good, solid metal mentality. Eleven songs strong, As Daylight Dies isn't just a testament to the band's original vision; it's also their strongest fusion of aggression, melody, rock and metal to date.

Innovative and Pounding.......2007-07-13

"As Daylight Dies" would have to be one of the best metal CD's I have heard in some time. Combining raging grind vocals with clean and harmonic vocals, Killswitch Engage succeed in creating something that was new and still succeeded in giving the eardrums a good smashing.

The sonic range of the vocals is simply amazing, changing from grind to clean and back again with lightning rapidity. Everything if screeching wails to almost rock-like singing are on the CD and in each track. That alone makes the songs worth hearing.

Add to that the high quality of the musical work, and you have a great CD. The music is fast, furious and heavily pounding. Your hearing is going get pretty hammered over all the frequency range you can hear. It is heavy, harmonic and savage all in one. I loved every deafening second.

The subject matter tends toward the abstract, and may not suit the fanatical epic metaller. That said, anyone looking for something a bit new and different will not be disappointed. This is great metal: period.

It is decent........2007-07-04

Definitely not their best, but still good.
I wish their singer would try to sing a slightly different melody every once in a while. The same melody gets old after two albums and many b-sides of it. =P
Not a bad album at all. But, Killswitch has done better.
If it comes down to choosing between this and End of Heartache go with the latter. It's just a better album.

Gives Me Hope For The Future of Metal!!!!!!!.......2007-06-29

I'm a child of the 70's and having spent my teen years in the 80's (which I consider to be the golden age of metal; Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Metallica, Ozzy at the high point of his solo career) as a metal head I felt that since the early 90's that the genre had been relegated to tone deaf bands with cookie monster singers seeing how loud they could be. This CD has given me hope! Unbelievable how KSE can be so heavy yet so melodic at the same time. While there are traces of cookie monster vocals, Howard Jones can actually sing unlike alot of his counterparts. Yes some reviewers complain about how all the songs are pretty similar and yes most of the songs do have the same formula (probably the only thing that keeps me from giving this 5 stars), but this music is so powerful who cares?Standout tracks are "This Is Absolution" and "My Curse".

Formulaic and beaten to death sound........2007-05-26

Ever since the explosion of metalcore in 2003, dozens upon dozens of bands have popped up in the scene attempting to recreate KSE's masterful "Alive or Just Breathing" including KSE themselves.

2004's End of Heartache was listenable but obviously watered down for mainstream appeal, both lyrically and sonically. However, since that time, the tried and true KSE formula is now a tired and beaten to death sound. I can name close to a dozen bands that sound pretty much exactly like what is contained on this album, and even musically better in some cases.

Diecast(almost exact carbon copy), Still Remains, It Dies Today, All That Remains, Bullet For My Valentine, Hell Within, Caliban(Opposite From Within), and on and on. With so many bands riding the same exact wave, you'd think that KSE would add something new and progressive into the mix. Instead, they seem to be content with putting out another album that fits perfectly into the metalcore formula.

At least bands like All That Remains add some death elements and blazing solo work, some semblance of change. KSE have now fallen behind those that have copied them in the first place, but of course their mainstream appeal and sales will continue to soar. I suppose all the Slipknot kids have already jumped onto the KSE boat. I now place them in the same radio-metal category as A7X and Atreyu. Terrible.

1 part melodic metalcore, 1 part melodic death metal.......2007-05-18

Killswitch Engage has always incorporated melodic death into their music, but on their latest release, the melodic death really dominates. here and there there are metalcore breakdowns. they still rock though. I disagree with the one who says metalcore is about ex-girlfriends. I own several metalcore CD's and not one of them mentions relationships gone bad. somebody better reread the lyrics on all their CD's. other metalcore bands to consider are Himsa, Zao, Demon Hunter, Still Remains, the Showdown, A Life Once Lost, Underoath, As I Lay Dying, Underoath, Watch Them Die, Hedfirst, Cataract, and Winter Solstice.

GreatGreat.......2007-07-31

I first heard them a few weeks ago at their show in Chicago and they can really rock. I was very impressed to listen to the album later and find them to be just at good in the studio. These days it seems that all too often you either get one or the other. I can't get enough of the vocals, the songs are arranged nicely, and there is something about the album which has kept it on repeat for the past week and a half.

Soul Bubblegum.......2007-07-30

This is a very refreshing cd. I am totally shocked it's an L.A. Band. I first heard them on KRCW and instantly liked it. I'm happy to say every track is good. I love to play it when I need to get things done. It has a soothing aspect to it. It also rocks well. I just love Great Northern.

All frosting, no cake.......2007-07-28

Gorgeously sung, arranged and produced album, particularly for a (presumably?) low-budget item. But it's all surface beauty, without much else to recommend it. And awfully plodding -- pick up the pace, kids! "The Middle" is catchy, but memorable songwriting is in short supply here. However, I wouldn't be surprised if the band goes onto greater success. A larger label could grab them, add some marketing juice and park them in the Barnes & Noble top-seller racks.

Ethereal, contemplative, polished........2007-06-27

Great Northern sounds a great deal like Elliot Smith, with a tiny bit of The Cranberries thrown in for good measure. The overall style is mellow, with haunting vocals that are reminiscent of Sun King by The Beatles. The sound is consistent, and the samples available are a good indication of the entire album.

It really is Shoegazing music, but the vocalists are too powerful to be firmly put in this category.

If there is any criticism worth a one star deduction, it is that the music itself, while well orchestrated, is a bit simple. Contrast that with Smith, who threw a lot of goings on behind his melodies, and made for far more interesting compositions.

BEST CD EVER.......2007-05-30

I can listen to this CD and not get tired of any song. I love it all and can listen to it over and over again. I also saw then in a concert and it was sweet

Amazing CD.......2007-04-11

This CD is amazing, I bought it highly reccomended, and now I highly recommend it out. Had a very solid sound that will keep you listening over and over.

Want to be a better person?.......2007-01-05

Then buy this album. I saw them live in a little club in Virginia on a Monday night and there was hardly any one there. I could not believe there was not not a packed house. If people had only known what they were missing...
Bo and Bear are just awesome guys along with the other boys in the band. They are amazing on stage and quite sexy I might add. If you like up beat rock and roll that makes you just feel goood DO NOT pass up an chance to see this band in South Carolina or anywhere. And DO buy this album. It is a cure for any depression.

Needtobreathe/Daylight.......2006-11-18

I bought the album after meeting the Rinehart brothers in Boston for a label gathering. They played two acoustic songs "shine on" and "You are here".. totally hooked from that moment on. Ordered the album in so I would receive it on the release date 04 April 06 and it's been my most played on my iPod ever since then.

The breadth and range they display in their first non-independent release is outstanding. Catchy hooks, outstanding lyrics and such a passion for what they do is obvious from the first to the last track.

Seen them live several time since, making the journey from Boston to Baltimore (8 hrs driving) and flying from Boston to Charlotte on Dec 1st 2006 to see them again. If you get the chance to see them live, don't waste it. They are even better when live!!!

Great songs that stick to your mind!.......2006-11-16

This is one of the few CDs out there that you actually like every single song. And if you listen to them more than one time, they'll keep coming to you all day long. I was kind of skeptical when I read people saying that they love every song, but now I can confirm it myself. And this is NTB's first album! Can't wait to see what's next!

Descent album.......2007-07-31

I had heard a few songs off of this cd before I bought it, and expected more from it. All of the best songs were released as singles, videos, ect. It's still worth a listen, but not as good as I expected.

Long time ago..........2007-04-12

I first heard Dropping Daylight about 4 and 1/2 years ago when they were known as Sue Generis. They played in a small coffee shop in St. Cloud, MN. They are an unbelieveable band to see live. There new album Brace Yourself is an amazing album and it was nice to see them throw in some of there old songs from there first CD Back To Nowhere in the album.

Dropping Daylight - Brace Yourself.......2006-12-10

The Forward: Although I've heard many people classify Dropping Daylight as a "punk" band, it couldn't be further from the truth. If you're looking for quality punk music, try Rise Against. Moving on...

The Up Side: Tell Me was the first song I'd heard from Dropping Daylight, and it's probably one of the best tracks on an already solid Brace Yourself. The gritty vocals mesh well with the hard rock guitars and tasteful piano melodies, building up to an over-driven, anthemic chorus Creed only wish they could have written. The hard rock meets piano style continues for almost the entire record, save for a ballad towards the end, giving Brace Yourself an accessible flow the entire way through.

The Down Side: Although the whole piano angle gives Dropping Daylight a unique flavor, I can't help but feel like they're a little bit too similar to other, more famous bands. Heavy traces of Breaking Benjamin, Nickelback, Ben Folds Five and of course Creed, can be heard the entire way through. Since Brace Yourself is a debut, this isn't really a big deal, but if DD really want to make a name for themselves, they'll have to break the mold and come with a style all their own next time around.

The Conclusion: Brace Yourself is a very safe, commercial hard rock record. Almost anyone into rock or pop can find something to enjoy here, and those who say they can't are just being stupid.

The End.

I know it's been said, but seriously AMAZING.......2006-11-03

We seen these guys in concert about 2 years ago when they opened for Simple Plan. We had never heard of them, but we were blown away. We became instant fans. At the time only their 4 song EP was out. We got it and listened to it over and over. Several months later we had the opportunity to see them in concert again. It was a small show, but they performed like they were playing in front of thousands, giving it their all and rocking their hearts out. These guys are very talented and you won't be dissapointed if you buy this CD. Every single song is a winner. Trust me, this will become one of your favorite CD's.

I was amazed seeing these guys live.......2006-07-12

Hey everyone,I'm from mexicocity and I remember I saw dropping daylight 1 and a half year ago opening for Trapt in Boston,MA. When this guys appeared on stage they didnt cause any emotions to the people, they looked like amateurs who were just trying to have an opportunity. Nobody was paying attention to this guys when they came out on stage, but as they started to play, everybody got in complete silence, including me. I was amazed, seriously amazed. The way these guys mix the piano and the rock riffs, they move amazing on stage. I remember they opened with the song take a photograph, and I liked it, the second one was my favourite,War song, This song sounds amazing live, i was really in shock. When the show finished everybody bought their EP, and I asked the singer when were they going to have an debut album. He told me summer 2006, and i promised him to buy it, and since that day I waited a lot of time, and now that I have the album in my hands, all I can say is buy this great album.

Long Gone Before Daylight marks a shift in theme for the Cardigans. Their last album, 1998's Gran Turismo, was a masterpiece. With Peter Svensson's quirky, driving, ultra-modern pop backing Nina Persson's icy dissections of doomed relationships, it was a Love Album informed more by Bret Easton Ellis than any high romance. So catchy, so cool, and so incredibly bleak--exceptional, intelligent pop in the tradition of Soft Cell and ABC. Long Gone Before Daylight, then, comes as something of a shock when the opening "Communication" and "You're the Storm"--both lush and beautiful pop--find Persson struggling for love then, come the Doors-like "And Then You Kissed Me," actually finding it. Real love, too--not the fascinatingly twisted variety of before. It's a terrible shame, for love reduces the Cardigans to the level of other musicians. But then, unpredictable devils, they hit you with "Couldn't Care Less," as Persson loses it all again, in the following "Please Sister" begging for advice, succor, anything. And now you realize; it's a pop-rock opera, the tale of one heart's tortuous and tortured journey through the mill. And it's superb. Persson, the finest pop lyricist working today, is on peak form while the band's back-to-roots grand piano and grander acoustic guitars provide an appropriately magnificent backing. --Dominic Wills

Customer Reviews:

They just do not make albums like this.......2007-06-11

You could only dream of making an album this good.

One of The Cardigans best skills is re-invention. On this album they became the perfect band with the perfect album. Nina's lyrics are her best ever, and delivered with that irresistible silky Swedish sex-kitten voice. Peter Svenssons guitars and arrangements are brilliant. They had completed this album a couple of times and chucked and did it again until it was as good as they could make it.

Lyrically and musically, this album takes them into the rarified stratosphere of must-have albums, and without a doubt into one of the 50 best albums ever. These guys found some really good magic here, a beautiful mixture of light and gold-dust, "champagne from last New Year's", a slightly euphoric candle-lit warmth with an eternal return of love and loss, salt in your wounds and a promise of your heart's desire.

4 years after its release, I still think it is incredible. To me that means it is going to stand the test of time. And maybe that's because they have put down some timeless tracks, stuff that will always meet you halfway, and touch you right where you are.

The band might be long gone before daylight, but the album they left behind is in it for the long haul.

It's great!.......2007-04-17

The Cardigans are probably the most exciting group to come out of Sweden in a generation. This album is their fifth(!), and it has a great, smooth sound that differs from their earlier "Pop" tunes. I love the songs For What It's Worth and Live And Learn, but there is not a bad track on this entire album.

So, if you like smooth and mellow music by a great band, then you really must consider getting this album - it's great! I love this album and highly recommend it.

Perhaps the most perfect pop album of all time........2007-03-22

I don't usually write reviews, but this album is so outstanding that I couldn't hold back. Some complain that Long Gone Before Daylight doesn't sound like the Cardigans they are used to hearing (think Lovefool) but in this case that is not a bad thing. This album is much more mature and laid back than previous ventures and the result is a sound that is simply sublime. The album is full of songs that all sound great together and while they are stripped down they are also somehow more epic in their simplicity. Long Gone Before Daylight is innocent and dark, pure and flawed, simple and grand, and ultimately as close to perfect as any album I have ever heard.

The best album..........2007-01-15

I think Long Gone Before Daylight is Cardigans best album so far...though it's very hard to choose just one...It's just amazing....

needs a few listens.......2006-12-10

this recording at first caught me so off guard that I almost didn't like it. the more I played it I accepted it as another beautiful cardigans cd. I can hear more cardigans the more I play it. Communication after a while became a brilliant opener. Really his best song like Peter says. It's defintely very special. The whole cd actually.

This is a great collection of songs and very uplifting and inspirational. All of the songs are beautifully written and sung by Brooke Fraser. I listen to it over and over again. If you want to hear something fresh and inspiring, have a listen to this one. It's a must have.

Great Find... a Pleasant surprise.......2006-02-27

I had $8 NZ left at the airport when leaving Christchurch, NZ this January. There was a table of CD's, priced at $8.00 So, I asked for a NZ artist and the clerk suggested this album, What to Do with Daylight.

This was such a pleasant 'find'. I really enjoy Brooke's style, and her music. She has a soulful voice, and seems to pull from many styles. I would classify her work as a bit of Sarah McLaughlin, Louise Goffin and similar.

I like Save the World the best, followed by Lifeline.

In 1982, there were few groups as out of phase as CSN. Their supergroup status once lionized in the late '60s and early '70s had turned into liability. Viewed as fossils by the emerging MTV generation, they steadfastly stood with their heartfelt idealistic politics on their sleeve. Produced by El Lay producer extraordinaire Craig Doerge (known mostly for adding synthesizer to the work of Jackson Browne among others) and Stanley Johnson, Daylight Again features several noteworthy songs. "Wasted on the Way," "Southern Cross," and "Into the Darkness" are among the more substantial contributions from these musicians struggling to find their place in a world clearly getting away from them. --Rob O'Connor

EXCELLENT!.......2007-05-28

My most CSN(Y) album. I LOVE "Delta" most of all but in all actuality, I love all of the songs :) But "Delta" pulls at my heartstrings for some reason. I listen to it quite often. :) David Crosby has the voice on an angel.

If you don't like this album check your pulse........2006-12-30

Many of the songs here made it to the Greatest Hits CD. In fact, I went to my music-downloading site to see if indeed it was a compilation! Check out the great rocking songs: "Wasted On The Way", "Southern Cross", "Since I Met You". And there is the wonderfully subdued "Delta" and "Daylight Again." Also, "Might As Well Have A Good Time" is also pretty good. Guess what: out of 11 songs only maybe 4 are filler. This is a statistically bizarre situation. Most albums by artists have one good song and the rest suck. I suspect that for many CSN fans who give it four stars, if the CD actually has hits on it that means the artists "sold out." I guess they are just frustrated musicians. God help us.

My Always Album.......2006-11-04

Long time CSN&Y&anyone else they collaborate with fan, I welcomed this collection originally as a tape. ON first hearing, it became my favorite for road trips, traffic gridlock,kitchen clean up, or other jobs around the house. The mellow mood seems right for most of mine. I wore out the tape version, so the CD was the next logical step.

Their weakest release.......2005-10-14

Save for the classic "Southern Cross" which is actually covered better by Jimmy Buffett, unsurprisingly, this album is the weakest ever released by the trio. I'd rec skipping it.

Originally written off as a nonthreatening rejoinder to Jeff Buckley, Duncan Sheik has quietly redeemed himself since his self-titled 1996 debut. Trading in the airy detachment of previous releases for a more immediate sound, the New York singer-songwriter's fourth album fizzes with electronics, distortion, and a newfound pop sensibility. Producer Patrick Leonard (Madonna, Jewel, Elton John) keeps things bright and breezy, forcefully shaking Sheik's predisposition for Nick Drake-style moodiness on wonderfully optimistic numbers like "On a High" and "Start Again." But the most surprising twist comes from "On Her Mind," cowritten with Mick Jones of Foreigner, a track that fully dramatizes Sheik's desire to breathe new life into his folk-rock roots. --Aidin Vaziri

Great Disc.......2005-12-31

It took me a little while to warm up to this one, but it is great. I have noticed, almost as a rule, that whenever I play this CD often, I find myself more creative and inspired. The lyrics speak of very real subject matter, and the collective power of the CD builds up to an awe-inspiring climax with the final song. I thought blasts of energy like this wee only possible in the live arena. Duncan Sheik seems to have a tendency to break the rules of what I think the limits of pop music should be. And that's a welcome releif.

a pleasant surprise..........2005-10-14

Duncan's most recent cd is a nice blend of his previous, airy mood music, and ambient melodies. But here also is an introduction to more of a pop sound, and procession of a fun beat. Duncan remains a good storyteller, and gets thru the songs in his typical fashion.

Hi lites here include the reflective and somewhat sarcastic "Genius." There's a new bit of attitude to his music brought in with track 3, "Start Again." Track 5 includes some of his best vocals, ranging from deep bass to incredible falsetto. On A High, track 6, would have to be the most radio friendly tune on the cd, and is quite fun. Another "story" is told in "Magazines," and this song is superbly drawn out, and may be the best on the album. Track 9, you begin to sense a bit of political satire with "Good Morning."

The other tracks are nothing special, but hold up alright to the rest of the cd. A very nice surprise, and glad I gave it a chance!

Sweet!.......2005-03-04

I will admit that I lost interest in Duncan after his first release and did not pick up another of his albums until Daylight. WOW, I'm glad I happened upon his music again. Other reviewers have characterized this album as pop-oriented and dumbed-down to appeal to a wider audience. I'm not sure I agree. But, if that is true, then I must be part of that wider audience. I love it!! I think of Daylight as being an album full of tracks which have the same appeal as did the track, Barely Breathing. It is upbeat, but mature, and maintains a fantastic "groove" throughout. I really enjoy the flow of the album from one track to the next. If that makes me a part of the mindless masses - so be it. I still love the album!

Better Than Expected.......2005-02-26

It seems pretty clear, after years of trying to obtain some level of success, Sheik, although still not unfettered by his pursuit of "gold" has at least extended himself enough to get out of a rut of self-obesession. Although a lot of the sound is largely "pop", it has a clever and diverse side to it which, unlike a lot of his other albums, makes it interesting enough to listen to without straining to keep yourself from pushing the "next song" or "eject" button. I have this feeling that if he didn't try SO hard, and just let his creative juices flow a little more easily, he might actually get what he wants...

Good three songs, the rest sounds all the same to me.......2004-11-26

So i heard about all the reviews aplauding Sheik, and I decided to give him a try. I loved Genius, Half Life, and Good Morning, but I didn't think the rest of the songs were too good, there was no distinct melody line, and the songs aren't something you can constantly sing too. It's good for sleeping though, so turn it on when you wanna relax.
