Synth-Pop Excellence from Color Theory.......2004-12-10

Once again Brian Hazard has recorded an exceptional album of synth-pop. "Life's Fairytale" covers a broad range of electronica, from the gentle melodies of "Here in My Heart" to the song long mistaken as a Depeche Mode b-side, "Ponytail Girl," Hazard weaves a tapestry of intelligent lyrics, powerful melodies, dance-beat rhythms and dreamy electronica. For the synth-pop fan, this album is a necessary addition to your collection.

Glad to be human.......2001-09-23

In this strange time we're living in, the music this album has to offer sends me into a pleasant sanctuary. With all the power pop, rapcore, nu metal, and hip hop that's placed in the Top 40, Brian Hazard offers us something that's honest, heartfelt, and thus, unique. His lyrics reflect something each and every one of us feels at times in our lives. Most bands sing about sex, drugs, broken hearts, and other repetitions we've all heard before, however, the listener here really gets the feeling that there is truth in Brian's lyrics. This album inspires young musicians like myself to get out there in the music world and approach music honestly, thank you Brian Hazard.

The perfect Color Theory album!.......2001-08-24

This album is a first for Color Theory, in that it's for the most part all electronic, with a minimum of acoustic piano in the songs. Which, to be honest, I've grown to really like. Not as much as the hybrid piano/electronic sound, but I've grown to like it a lot in and of itself. Some of these songs are actually from the 'Bad Song Of The Week' feature on Color Theory's webpage, and I really loved hearing more fleshed-out versions of many of those songs. Some of my favorite BSTOW's such as "Wishing I Had An Umbrella", "So Many Ways", and "End Of The Night" really shine here in a more polished (yet all-electronic) form. Most of the tracks from "Perfect For Awhile" are similar enough to the versions on that release to not significantly shift my opinion of the songs, other than liking them even more. The one song that was also on that release that I want to make additional comments on is "Cheerleader". After hearing this song for a while, and then seeing snippets of the movie "Bring It On", I must say it's the type song I can easily seeing a cheerleading routine being done to. That would be extremely funny, to see a group of cheerleaders performing to a song that undercuts a lot of the mindset that's implied to most cheerleaders. And I still say that Brian's cover of "I Felt The Pain" is the best cover version I've ever heard of any song... Now on to the remixes... The remix of "Outside Girl" was done by Brian, and it was featured on a remix compilation from Germany, I believe. It's a dance remake of the song, in a nutshell. And while it's enjoyable, it looses some of the emotion of the original song in the translation, I think. Next is a remix of "Now I Know", by Cosmicity. To be honest, Mark didn't have much to work with here, with the original being only piano and vocals. However, he's transformed the song into a synthpo masterpiece, while retaining excellently the feeling of restrained longing the original song conveyed. I could put this one on repeat for hours on end and never get tired of it... "Lost Distance Martyr" is remixed by Steve Sholtes, who has done a lot of work with Cosmicity, and also has his own project, Jealous Of Frank. It's a Drum and Bass treatment of the song, but it really works well. The booming deep bass line really helps the gloominess of the song come through. I like it! The next mix, by Paul R of Anything Box, is actually a rather trance-oriented take on the track. However, the vocal samples and snippets are used to perfect effect, and I really like the pitch-shifting effect used on the vocals. I always said Brian had amazing range vocally, but I never knew he could go that high. :-D Keith Gilliard faces a difficult task as he closes out the remixes and the album. Not only is he closing out the album, but he's remixing one of my all-time favorite Color Theory songs, "For Good". It ranges from Drum and Bass, to Trancey, and back to D&B. And although it's a totally different vibe from the original, emotion-laden ballad, it works! I like it! Simply put, if you're a Color Theory fan, and missed out on the promo album "Perfect For Awhile", you must have this. And if you're a synthpop fan, who's heard some CTheory material before, and been intrigued, this album is for you. I really can't find a reason for someone to not buy this cd. Highly recommended!!!

Crushing synthetics, intelligent / crystalline vox.......2001-08-02

This new Color Theory material plays like platinum. The lyrics are crushing, memorable synthetics, harmonies and crystalline vox.... It's so good! I've played it 7 times already -- perfect for driving at night on long trips, where there are no distractions so the subtleties in the tracks are gleaned. This project is definitely at the apex. I keep it in my car to play for friends to see their reaction. Color Theory's cover of the brilliant Anything Box track "I Felt The Pain" is -- this is hard to believe -- better than the original. I love the vocal treatments and the back-up vocals. If someone likes the original, your version is ESSENTIAL. And I'm usually ambivalent about cover versions. The lyrics on Ponytail girl, So Many Ways, Wishing I Had An Umbrella, Here In My Heart ... wow. The CD reminds me a bit of Sinead O'Connors' CD "Am I Not Your Girl" -- both would be great played end-to-end at high-class cocktail parties, or at an ultracool winebar. Such smooth pipes.... We're dropping radio airplay (WCPR) for the album and club rotations (C-Street) for the track "I Felt The Pain." That track is so edgy. It's opening some eyes. It's like the intensity is 10/10, reminds me of Tears For Fears -- you know the feeling I'm talking about. I could totally see this downtempo style transform into a dance side-project, maybe channelling some intense lyrics/vox, with the new synthetics, pulsing basslines and creative drum patterns. Lots of overlapping vox -- lead and background, or even lead and background lead (there's something about vocal density that really accelerates a track into memory). Maybe do a track or two. Maybe keep the name similar so fans can still find it (like Condition One, and Condition Icon)? You could be Color Theory and Color Theory Control or something. I only mention the dance side-project because you've got a great voice and great lyricism, and that's usually missing on the dancefloor, so it's a selfish request. Voltaire once said "Appreciation is a wonderful thing, it makes what is excellent in others belong to you as well". It's great to have creative/intellectual artists like this in this life. Keep Up The Strong Work...

This guy just keeps getting better!.......2001-08-01

I first became enchanted by Color Theory, well, really, Brian Hazard, with the album Perfect Tears. As a big synthpop fan it's nice to hear someone who takes the genre to a new level. He's not trying to sound like Depeche Mode. He has intelligent, sharp lyrics, beautiful, sometimes almost orchestral feeling music. Some clever songs on this album that go beyond typical boy-girl stuff are 'Cheerleader' with a catchy yet biting chorus, and Wishing I Had An Umbrella. He finds great new approaches to subjects that in less experienced hands would be boring or trite. I've introduced several friends to Color Theory and they've all loved the CD's as much as I have. Get 'em all!

Amazon.com

Like kicking fallen leaves on a chilled autumn afternoon, the songs on this record raise a quiet ruckus, unscrambling themselves with an often-beautiful faintness. Charting a wandering course through swooping guitar phrases and loosely structured mope rock, the music is in no hurry. In an age of rampant DJ tweaks and atmospherics, it's also a decidedly acoustic endeavor. The instruments are for the most part left lo-fi and intimate, though the sound is full of Tortoise-like depths and layers. Often turning on a short and arresting melodic concept, the band builds repetition around a variety of musical approaches. In "How Did This Room Get So White?" it uses revved-up feedback, building tension off a simple riff into high-arching crescendos of noisy rapture. More often, the group opts for the softer touches. A violin takes the countermelody in "A Sailor's Warning," wrapping around Lois Maffeo's sparkling guest vocal with a hushed assurance. Later, the dreamy riff at the center of "An Alarm Goes Off" anchors a shimmering background of whispering chimes and guitar-pedal mysteries. Perfect for celebrating summer's end, watching the colors change and the temperature drop in slow motion. --Matthew Cooke

Mr. Green hits the drums like the god of drums as usual. Real nice, sometimes trippy music here. Want to know what the members of Modest Mouse do on their spare time? Buy this CD and Sharpen Your Teeth, by Ugly Casanova. It's all good.

Why Don't You Already Own This Lovely CD?.......2000-08-24

! Red Stars Theory boys and girls, RED STARS THEORY! Go buy it now!!!!! The CD titled Life in a Bubble Can Be Beautiful is the most visceral musical experience I've had since discovering Mogwai. Layer upon layer of mellow trance inducing melodies, violins, cellos, melodic bass much like old school Cure bass, and the guitar, that lovely guitar sound, heavenly yet discordant, like fairies colliding into each other. My only complaint about this album are the occassional male vocals, they are not good, not bad, but definitely not worthy of singing over top this beautiful music. Most of these songs can and should stand on their own without vocals. The one song containing female vocals works though. #3 Parts Per Million I think it's called clenches my gut, brings tears to my eyes, chokes me up, every single time. A beautiful CD for Mogwai, Prolapse, Ativin lovers or anyone who wants to have an outerbody experience.

Tight.......2006-02-08

This cd is pretty good, but not as good as his debut cd, it has some solid bangers. I don't know people think he's biting off Jay-Z's style, these 2 might sound similar, but at the same time they are way different.

Growth of a Don.......2004-02-05

Cap.One's debut was one of the solidest debut's i've heard in a long time. From beginning to end comprising tight beats and an even tighter flow, the album quickly became an all time favourite of mine. On his second effort, Cap.One displays great growth as an emcee. For a good deal of the album Cap has slowed his flow to concentrate more on his lyrics, proving he's not just a gimmicky rapper. The album's highlight is the heartfelt 'My Pain'. Sampling Phil Collins' 'In The Air Tonight' is hardly a new thing in hip hop, but here it is used better than any previous efforts as the track shows Cap's lyrical prowess. For those such as myself though who just love that quick Chi-Town flow, tracks such as 'Sex' more than cater for our tastes. Now if Cap.One could just combine that rapid-fire flow and deepful lyrics, the boy should be going triple platinum!

Good CD.......2003-11-06

Its overall a good cd. he doesnt have the style of jay-z his voice sounds like jay-z. he has more talent than him and alot of other rapper. to me hes the best rapper no one has heard of. His first cd was a little better but not by much. This cd has more club songs, but i think hes better on those types. Its a good cd and if u liked his first one u should like this one

CD Review.......2003-05-20

This is definately a CD you should own! Heavy metal at it's best! For a home town band this is a CD that should top the charts! Excellent sound and the Lyrics are slammin'!!

This is definately a CD you can crank in your car, house, or anywhere you can! Ok so it may annoy your boss but isn't that what they are there for? To annoy!! This is a MUST BUY!!

HIYA Karate Chop mother-fer's!.......2000-08-25

This Cd is a great introduction to one of the most undrated bands around. I saw them localy and must say they blew me away live. I bought this cd from them there and fell in love. The last song is called Karate Chop, and alothough it's supposed to be a joke, the song is cool as hell! You got to get this disc for that track alone. Not to mention someday this is gonna be a rarity!
