From Amazon.ca

Finger Eleven's career shifted suddenly and significantly when their 2003 emo-hit "One Thing" turned the band's career on its axis. At that point, they went from being known as 'the boys from Burlington who used to call themselves the Rainbow Butt Monkeys' to a group whose anthemic slow rock song went Platinum in Canada and Gold in America. So how does a band respond after its widespread fame is the result of just one song? In the case of Them Vs. You Vs. Me, Finger Eleven have consciously stayed away from anything remotely resembling their past and put the focus on the straight-ahead alt-rock formula that they've consistently excelled at. There are certain old-school rock influences that bleed clearly through their music, from Rush-isms in the form of frenetic time changes ("Sense of a Spark") to "Talking to the Walls" and "Lost My Way" which evoke Peter Gabriel-era Genesis. Frontman Scott Anderson's voice is impressive throughout, but when he sings ballads, especially "Window Song" and "Easy Life," something enables him to appeal to a whole different audience than traditional alt-rock fans. There is no 'one thing' on this disc that will allow them to reach the heights of their self-titled CD, just a consistency that will provide longtime fans reason to appreciate the band even more. --Denise Sheppard

Better Than Expected!.......2007-07-13

After seeing lukewarm reviews, I went into this with low expectations and was pleasantly surprised! The songs were not all "One Thing" imitations, but rather the band has gone in a different directly with their music. Two of the songs even have a slight 'twang' to them, and while I despise country music, the 'twang' works well on this CD.
Ironically, Amazon has paired this with Chevelle's latest, and those two CD's are currently my top two.

notice a pattern here?.......2007-07-09

notice how everyone who says this is my first time hearing F11 i love it and they give it 5 stars? yea..cuz its a good album..all you 1 star guys own greyest of blue skies and your wanting a repeat...well f11 dosent do that... thats like watching and loving super troupers then renting their 1st release called puddle cruisers and hating it because you wanted another super troupers out of it....but would you have liked the movie if youd never seen super troupers?..most likely....NEVER judge someone on their other works. and you won't ruin the music for yourself.... if them vs you vs me was released my ohh say...some band called cheetah lol and you heard paralyzer...youd prob like the album...

What a great new concept album!.......2007-07-08

I'm a new fan and picked this one up the day it came out because of Paralyzer. I listened for a couple weeks and liked it a lot, then I put it away so I didn't get burned out on it.

I listened again today driving from Philly to DC and really paid attention. Aside from the myriad classic rock influences that can be heard and the solid musicianship, this disc is quite the concept album. Best one I've heard in a long time and I'm very, very rarely impressed by new musical offerings. I understand that this may not be the same sound as their previous offerings but I really don't care. This is good music.

5 stars!

No more paralyzers?.......2007-07-08

I love Paralyzer.. it has a harder sound to it which I was hoping to hear on the rest of the album. Unfortunately, I only liked the first track and found the rest to be a bit of a disappointment. Seems like "Paralyzer" should have been done by Disturbed. The only reason I gave the album a 2 was because it has one song I can't get enough of. Otherwise, it's a zero. Generic and poor lyrics = radio friendly. Not what I'm looking for.

It's Awesome.......2007-06-02

I got into Finger Eleven for their track 'One Thing'. That was a really good song, excellently composed but it did not make a serious fan out of me. That is until the new album 'Them-Vs-You-Vs-Me'.

I find Soctt Andersons vocals consistent throughout the entire album. Yes it is more alternative rock but don't be put off by being classified as a label when it comes to what you listen to. This is a very enjoyable cd.
The tracks, Paraylzed, Falling On, and Taking To The Walls are outstanding in terms of more of the rocking type tracks.

However, this is only a treat before we get some real amazing vocals on some of the more acoustic type tracks.
Real bonus to the CD are the following:

* I'll Keep Your Memory Vague. 5/5
"This won't break your heart, But I just think it could, coz I haven't tried as hard as I should..to..to seperate you from everything I do...but I would never wanna come between us 2" - This entire line is the best vocal I've heard this year for an intro.

* Window Song 5/5
"All The Windows are playing their game...we won't see outisde again...til I ride all the fog away...I'm putting words in their place...but all of the fog is erased & I write all the words I never said"

* Talking To The Walls
-Excellent Intro & again great lyrics. i.e. "Look at the shape I'm in, talking to the walls again'

They have staying power, for the people that have mocked this album, it's been unfair, bands need to evolve.

I would definitely like to extend my gratitude of thanks to Finger Eleven, they put out an album I can really relate to.

Come tour in Auckland, NZ some time.

Buckcherry reestablish their status as one of the most raucous and delightfully dirty-minded acts in the industry today with 15, a truly bombastic rock & roll blast. Vocalist Josh Todd leads this high-energy act into battle with the colossal one-two-three punch of "So Far," "Next 2 You," and "Out Of Line," each anchored by the weighty rhythm section of drummer Xavier Muriel and bassist Jimmy Ashhurst, then elevated by the Olympian guitar attack of Keith Nelson and Stevie D. But while an appropriate levity prevails on those tracks and others--such as "Crazy Bitch," "Broken Glass," and the good time stomp "Brooklyn"--the band also find time to show a more sensitive and mature side with the hit-worthy and country-inflected "Carousel," plus the unapologetically melancholy "Sorry." If there's a fault to be found on 15 it doesn't reveal itself easily, and if there's a fault to be found with Buckcherry it is perhaps that they imbue listeners with a zest for living. But that clearly is no crime. --Jedd Beaudoin

Album Description

The band who broke onto the national scene in 1999 returns. "I am playing the hell out of it. It combines all the best elements of Aerosmith and Guns N Roses in their prime" - Eddie Trunk (Q104 NYC syndicated radio host and VH1 Classic on-air personality). "Coming on like the Black Crowes by way of AC/DC, this LA-based band is at its best blasting its way through hard-hitting riff rockers" - Entertainment Weekly.

Great CD.......2007-08-01

I find myself singing along to every song except Crazy Bitch, which is my least favorite on this CD because of all the radio play and juke box play it has gotten. There are some suprisingly bluesy songs on here that you wouldn't necessarily expect from Buckcherry, but they are amongst my favorites.

With front man Daniel Johns at the helm, Silverchair refuses to do the same thing twice. When the Australian trio released their first album, Frogstomp, in 1995, they were merely 15 years old. Each new album since has been a dramatic departure from the last, and the band eventually shed their sticky grunge image with 2002's Diorama. A returning cast of producer Nick Launay (INXS, Talking Heads), mixer David Bottrill (Tool, Muse), and legendary composer Van Dyke Parks (U2, Beach Boys) coddled Young Modern--yet another completely different version of Silverchair. The lyrics are pensive, the melodies cathartic, and the music is distinctly refined. Having already proven his epic vocal ability, Johns appeals to more creativity and experimentation this time around. He retains his singing style, but at times he is reminiscent of AC/DC's Brian Johnson, at others of the Beach Boys' Brian Wilson. Listeners will be shocked to learn that the upbeat opening track, "Young Modern Station," is the heaviest rock song on the record. "Straight Lines" is a celebratory pop fête, and "If You Keep Losing Sleep" makes Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" sound almost docile. Van Dyke Parks's renowned talent shines on the tracks with orchestral arrangements like "All Across the World" and the three-part epic "Those Thieving Birds." The entire album is seamless and offers new facets with each listen. Once again, Silverchair has clearly taken another giant step forward. --Jordan Thompson

Album Description

Silverchair are Australia's most successful rock band with five #1 albums and global sales of over 6 million CDs. Since exploding onto the alternative rock scene as teens in the mid-90s, Silverchair have grown up into a much more eclectic and melodic band. They've built a large and passionate fan base and have garnered high regard among critics and peers that once seemed unlikely. "Young Modern" is the fastest selling album of the band's career in their homeland - propelled by the #1 hit single "Straight Lines". It also features orchestral arrangements by legendary Beach Boys collaborator Van Dyke Parks. Look for Silverchair on a North American summer tour that includes a Lollapalooza appearance alongside acclaimed artists Arcade Fire and Bright Eyes.

Customer Reviews:

loving the new sound of Silverchair.......2007-08-02

I'll admit when compared with Frogstomp, Young Modern is an extreme departure. However if you look at the progression from album to album, yes they're all a little different but in my mind it seems like a natural transition from one to the other. From Diorama to Young Modern doesn't seem like all that much of a shock.

People who dislike this album seem to be waxing nostalgic for the Frogstomp era. But I would find it odd if Silverchair, and more notably front man Daniel Johns, were still writing songs that sound exactly like those made on Frogstomp when they were 14, 15, or 16. Bands evolve otherwise it would get boring. Sometimes the evolution doesn't fit with what some die hard fans like.

For me, a fan since 1995, Young Modern has reignited my love for Silverchair. If you're open to hearing something new and different from the guys then give Young Modern a chance. After a few listens you'll be pleasantly surprised with the catchy songs that grow on you more and more until you can't get them out of your head. And maybe you should, to quote an old 'chair song, "learn to evolve."

Bloody Brilliance.......2007-08-02

This is definitely Silverchair's finest. Often such an extended break kills bands, but the five-year hiatus the 'chair have taken has only improved their work. Each album before this (particularly Diorama) felt like it was pushing towards something but still in need of some missing element. With Young Modern, they have found that missing piece. Diorama felt like Daniel Johns was trying too hard to control the upbeat nature of most of the songs; Young Modern's overall positivity seems much more natural. Three cheers for the 'chair for a job well done!

It's nice to see some creativity in modern mainstream music........2007-07-28

There really is a lot of crap out there and Silverchair's newest effort, "Young Modern" is such a breath of fresh air. A year ago, I didn't even know Silverchair was still a band until my friend turned me onto "Diorama." I was blown away with how much they had progressed with that album. I mean, wow! There are some really good songs on there, my favorite being "After all these years." Though I'm not sure if any single song on "Young Modern" can compare to that song, this is a better overall album. The new progressive style that's all over "Diorama" is fully realized in "Young Modern." This is nothing short of an instant classic; I can't wait to see what they do in the future...

The band grew up and went a different direction.......2007-07-26

I was a fan of the young Silverchair, the angst-ridden teens with a chip on their shoulder. They had simple, edgy guitar riffs and coarse screams that were laced with rage and youthful exuberence.
There's really no trace of that here. The band might have evolved skillfully, there are some pleasant, harmonic tunes that showcase a somewhat advanced, mature side of the group. There's plenty of keyboards and orchestra mixed in that some fans might enjoy.

THAT'S NOT WHAT I WAS HOPING FOR THOUGH!

I desperately missed songs like Israel's Son(my favorite), Freak Show, Cemetary, Abuse Me, Ana's Song...AAAAARRRRGGGGH! I can't take it! Why did this band have to grow up? I'm sorry, but the more I listen to it the sicker I get.
Is this Sugar Ray?
Punk turned junk?
Did their girlfriends make them tone it down?
When in doubt, sell out?!?
WHY DID I BUY THIS CRAP?????!!!!???

Sorry, not my cup of tea....

Sleeper of the year..........2007-07-25

Months ago ,I knew of a new Silverchair.Have followed them and have enjoyed their releases. In the U.S. they kind of lost the attention,but I think with this new one,they will gain acceptance again. The new song,Straight Lines gets a lot of airplay on the local rock station.Deservably so.The sound is mature and very good.Other notables are,Reflections Of A Sound,Young Modern Station,The Man That Knew Too Much,Waiting All Day and All Across The World.With those who maybe thought they were no more,think again.If you are contemplating on buying this,I would suggest it.It is a solid effort.If you were expecting the sounds form Frogstomp,you won't get it here.Daniel and the boys are older and their music has matured. Accept it or move on.If you want a fresher sound,you got it.Buy it and you won't regret it.I give it a solid 4 stars!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The idea of remaking the Rat Pack's infamous shaggy-dog story cum Vegas heist thriller may have seemed ludicrous without a Rat Pack. But that didn't deter ever-inventive director Steven Soderbergh, who's again wisely teamed with not only Out of Sight star George Clooney, but that underrated project's Irish-born club mixer turned scorer David Holmes, as well. The resulting soundtrack is a spunky, cross-cultural joyride that careens from Perry Como's "Papa Loves Mambo" to the loopy hip-hop of Handsome Boy Modeling School's "The Projects," while paying some gratifying visits to Percy Faith, Arthur Lyman, Quincy Jones, the terminally cool Claude Debussy, and, of course, King Elvis along the way. Holmes's own concoctions are as smartly retro-hip and seamless, slyly intertwining cool jazz-funk and smoky cine-Muzak with some dance-floor grooves that keep the musical tension boiling. The sharp dialogue snippets that bubble throughout seem a quirky throwback to soundtracks gone by, a sometimes oversized olive in Holmes's inviting musical cocktail. --Jerry McCulley

Customer Reviews:

If you really want the music...........2007-07-04

DAVID HOLMES made a name with this soundtrack, and to get his name out, he sent out a PROMO COPY for the OSCAR race. now, i don't normally recommend downloading music but it IS ILLEGAL to buy this CD as it was not intended to be bought. i am lucky to OWN it as i bought it on EBAY it its THE ENTIRE SCORE - NO DIALOGE. Its less then 45 mins in length and has 35 tracks if i am not mistaken. it worth getting. my friend have downloaded it off of TORRENTRACTOR or TORRENTSPY and i recommend you do that, plus add the tracks you get here and make a COMPLETE soundtrack. that what i did.

Dialogue helped and hurt........2007-05-21

I understand why some listeners are frustrated that the film's dialogue was included with some of the tracks. For the most part, I enjoy how it brings back memories of this very clever film. But there are times where I wish I didn't have to hear it. Wouldn't it be nice if this was produced like the musical instrument lesson books with CD's that have one set of songs as solo and one set of songs with accompaniment? I'd love that choice. Funny, though, how I never notices some of the background music in scenes. I love those old songs, and would love to be able to have those songs without dialogue. All in all, I am satisfied with this CD. I am glad I knew ahead of time that this was produced so "uniquely".

Oceans Eleven Soundtrack.......2007-05-13

Some songs are a mix of lines and music (mostly moments) from the movie. There are several uninterrupted music only selections. The songs fall in chronological order and all have the same modern, funk. My personal favorite is the rap song (which also has a heavy amount of funk)which is shown in the movie just as Brad Pitt's character is introduced and giving his poker classes. It's funky without being hard or uninteligible. Also, the music played while the heist is being completed is a funky, hip victory song. Great background party music.

For the Circus Animals!.......2007-04-13

i don't want to write an over analyzed review of this soundtrack But what i do want to say is if you're looking to hear the same great music that you heard in the movie& music that made you look this CD up in the first place...you've got it here! you will be able to draw visuals of the movie while listening to it. from Brad Pitt's bar lounge scene to the ending scene in front of the fountain in Vegas...don't over analyze this CD...it's fun and contains all the great tunes from the movie!!! if you're a fan of the Ocean's movies...but this CD!!!

Okay, but..........2007-01-10

I would have preferred not to have the dialogue mash into the tracks. It's typical of Soderbergh soundtracks, and I don't mind the dialogue being there, I'd just prefer it on its own tracj (like, say, the Snatch soundtrack).

In the almost two and a half years it took to make their third album, Canadian rage rockers Finger Eleven have undergone a radical transition. Gone are the overwrought guitars, gratuitous venting, and nu-metal posturing that marked their early work. In their place are some tightly constructed melodies and emotionally articulate lyrics weaved into a coherent song cycle that documents the disintegration of a relationship. This isn't to say the one-time headbangers have gone soft because they're writing love songs and featuring gorgeous acoustic guitar work. There are some bonecrushers among the 11 songs here, but the sturdy rockers are less prosaic than the band's earlier efforts, and it's clear that they have paid more attention to song structure and dynamics, although Scott Anderson's staccato delivery can give you whiplash. --Jaan Uhelszki

Customer Reviews:

Very solid album.......2006-05-07

This album is definitely slower and more radio-friendly than Greyest of Blue Skies but by no means is it an inferior product, nor is it derivative or bland. They haven't sold out to create this sound, the guitars are at the standard and creativity we've come to expect and in particular the first five tracks are very enjoyable. The only reason I gave this album 4 stars is that the last half of the album drags somewhat.

I want more!!!.......2006-02-22

I'm a long time fan of the band and this CD did not dissapoint! Some argue that "One Thing" is the best song here but it grows tiresome to me and sounds too much like a Beetles B-side...the real gem here is "THOUSAND MILE WISH" which is just perfectly pieced together. I admitt that I was taken aback by the inclution of aucustic tracks here...I was not expecting this at all, but I was pleased that a band with such an aray of talent was able to bring something new to the table. I still feel that the best way to really appreciate this band is to see them live...I've seen them 3 times now and will again as soon as possible. From start to finish this CD is amazing...Songs like "OTHER LIGHT" and "STAY IN SHADOW" showcase the side we've all seen, songs appearing on TGoBS album. "ABSENT ELEMENTS" and "COMPLICATED QUESTION" have the general F11 vibe to them, much like their contemperary singles off their debut album Tip. "GOOD TIMES", the first single, has a feel reminisent of "DRAG YOU DOWN" while "LAST SCENE OF STRUGGLING" is sure to excite. "THERAPY" has a much different sound to it and can't be classified. It's decent, not my favorite, but warents a listen. My favorite track aside from the brilliant "THOUSAND MILE WISH" is the stunning closer "OBVIOUS HEART"...the chorus is just so titilating it will be in your head for days. I love this band, they are a solid brilliant band that stands the tests of time and continue to turn out masterpiece after masterpiece...I just wish more people took notice!

Keep it coming!.......2005-12-10

Great CD hands down. I've been a huge fan of Finger Eleven for years now and each album they release has a welcomed twist on the previous. Let me warn you though as previous reviewers have discovered: 'One thing' is not a typical Finger Eleven recording. It's a great song, but the category 'Hard Rock/Alternative' means just that (do some research!). 'Thousand Mile Wish' is another one of these irregularities regarding Finger Eleven's usual style (despite its dark nature). The rest of the CD is the complement of these two songs and a good representation of the previous work from the band - their heavier side. 'Other Light', 'Obvious Heart', and 'Therapy' are my personal favorites. Collectively it's a well rounded CD with varying intensities and sounds. I respect the band for branching into different styles to see what works for them (as serious artists do), and in this case it payed off. Great work, 5 stars.

One Thing sucks, get over it already.......2005-09-27

that's about all i have to say. i knew that song wasn't that great before it ever hit the radio, and then radio just killed it. and then when the much better Thousand-Mile Wish came out, everyone said "Oh, it sounds too much like One Thing". this is one reason why i don't listen to the radio anymore.

overall the album is decent. a lot of the harder songs on the album are too slow to get into (despite the very well-written lyrics of scott anderson), and the straight-ahead approach just doesn't seem to work for these guys. much like how the straight-ahead approach nearly killed the new nine inch nails record.

another example of even the best of rock music getting worse. it's an alright buy, but greyest of blue skies and tip are the better buys.

oh, and don't listen to the rainbow butt monkeys. just let that phase rot in it's grave where it belongs.

Should have read reviews before I bought.......2005-09-21

If you are considering buying this album because you like the song "One thing" - don't! The other songs on this album are very hard rock/metal. "One thing" does not represent the type of music this band plays at all. If you like hard rock/metal (which I do) you may enjoy this album. I personally find the songs monotinous. They all sound the same to me (with the exception of "One thing", of course.)

With front man Daniel Johns at the helm, Silverchair refuses to do the same thing twice. When the Australian trio released their first album, Frogstomp, in 1995, they were merely 15 years old. Each new album since has been a dramatic departure from the last, and the band eventually shed their sticky grunge image with 2002's Diorama. A returning cast of producer Nick Launay (INXS, Talking Heads), mixer David Bottrill (Tool, Muse), and legendary composer Van Dyke Parks (U2, Beach Boys) coddled Young Modern--yet another completely different version of Silverchair. The lyrics are pensive, the melodies cathartic, and the music is distinctly refined. Having already proven his epic vocal ability, Johns appeals to more creativity and experimentation this time around. He retains his singing style, but at times he is reminiscent of AC/DC's Brian Johnson, at others of the Beach Boys' Brian Wilson. Listeners will be shocked to learn that the upbeat opening track, "Young Modern Station," is the heaviest rock song on the record. "Straight Lines" is a celebratory pop fête, and "If You Keep Losing Sleep" makes Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" sound almost docile. Van Dyke Parks's renowned talent shines on the tracks with orchestral arrangements like "All Across the World" and the three-part epic "Those Thieving Birds." The entire album is seamless and offers new facets with each listen. Once again, Silverchair has clearly taken another giant step forward. --Jordan Thompson

Album Description

Silverchair are Australia's most successful rock band with five #1 albums and global sales of over 6 million CDs. Since exploding onto the alternative rock scene as teens in the mid-90s, Silverchair have grown up into a much more eclectic and melodic band. They've built a large and passionate fan base and have garnered high regard among critics and peers that once seemed unlikely. "Young Modern" is the fastest selling album of the band's career in their homeland - propelled by the #1 hit single "Straight Lines". It also features orchestral arrangements by legendary Beach Boys collaborator Van Dyke Parks. Look for Silverchair on a North American summer tour that includes a Lollapalooza appearance alongside acclaimed artists Arcade Fire and Bright Eyes. Deluxe edition features a dvd with the making of "Young Modern" and video for "Straight Lines".

The pop song-score is often accused of being little more than ancillary merchandising for many a film and the supporting evidence is often hard to deny. But this well-chosen collection of modern rock and metal for director Jonathan Hensleigh's adaptation of the vengeance-obsessed Marvel Comics anti-hero is a gratifying exception; apt sonic seasoning for the film's bleak, contemporary edge. The thrash of Hatebreed, Chevelle, and the new Drowning Pool lineup and tracks by more established acts like Puddle of Mudd, Nickelback, and Queens of the Stone Age (who turn in a smart, chunky cover of Romeo Void's Rock-of-the-80's staple, "Never Say Never") alone would make it a welcome rock-metal sampler. But its 19 tracks also encompass an intriguing range of lesser known bands and one-off collaborations (Seether and Amy Lee, Jerry Cantrell and Damageplan, Ben Moody/Jason Miller/Jason "Gong" Jones); all bristling with a dark, moody energy that perfectly echos the film's dour, relentlessly violent tone. -- Jerry McCulley

An Instant Classic Compilation.......2006-02-19

Anyone questioning whether or not to add this album to their collection need only look at the back of the case. With a role call that boasts an enormous amount of talent, this album delivers hard hitting rock and insightful lyrics that give it depth. It is rare to find an album that not only has great music for a listener who wants some music and also lyrics for those who enjoy looking a little deeper into their music. From Hatebreed to Smile Empty Soul, this CD covers all ranges of emotion and never disappoints!

Perfect Punisher Sound.......2005-12-07

The songs on this album are just the type of music you think of when you think "The Punisher". Even if you haven't seen the movie, but love the sound of rock, this is one of the best albums you can get that comes with a nice variety of artists. If you are a fan of The Punisher movie and or comics, this is definitely a can't miss soundtrack. As is the Original Score to the film...

Powerful music!.......2005-09-20

I was actually more attracted to The Punisher by the music coming from the soundtrack than the actual movie. In fact, I was a little disappointed that the music wasn't more prominently featured in the movie.

The bands and the songs selected for the soundtrack are all so energizing and powerful. I could hardly believe that the collection was so good - not a weak song in the bunch. Give it a listen, and you'll be smiling and rockin' too!

measuring up (now 4 stars instead of 3...).......2005-08-26

Technically, this isn't my second review of the product; it's just me taking my original review and completely rewriting it. Quite frankly, as time went on and I heard other Marvel-based movie soundtracks, I started to realize just how good The Punisher's soundtrack is. With the ultimate combination of rock and... more rock, Punisher contends for best soundtrack I've ever heard. A few of the standout tracks for me (not in order of how much I like them, but in how they appear [for the most part] on the CD) are:

Drowning Pool- Step Up: Now, if you've read my review of Desensitized, by Drowning Pool (the album this song came off of), you would have heard me mention that I love this song, but it just isn't really Drowning Pool due to the lack of Dave Williams in the song. I stand by that thought, although I do still really like this song.

Nickelback- Slow Motion: I'm pretty well impressed with this particular song, but not as much as I am with some of the other songs on this soundtrack. It's got its merits, though, mainly cause it's Nickelback...

Seether (feat. Amy Lee)- Broken: Damned if I can't label this the best damn song on here. With Seether and frontman Shaun Morgan's ex-girlfriend Amy Lee (of Evanescence fame) as the backing vocalist, this song is both hard-hitting and haunting at the same time. If you've heard this particular song, you know what I mean.

Smile Empty Soul- Finding Myself: I also call this one "Smile Empty Soul Goes Acoustic"- and amazingly enough, alternative rock band Smile Empty Soul's first all-acoustic song works like a charm and is one of my favorites.

Trapt- Lost in a Portrait: In my opinion, Lost in a Portrait isn't as good as some of Trapt's other songs, but it's still a good one and a good pick for the soundtrack; I believe this one was recorded specifically for the soundtrack, as I couldn't find this one on either Trapt or Someone in Control...

Seether- Sold Me: Seether's second contribution to the compilation; like Broken, this one comes from Seether's (semi)second CD, Disclaimer II, a reworking of their debut cut Disclaimer. This one is much more hard-edged than Broken, but not necessarily better... it is good though.

Edgewater- Eyes Wired Shut: Tied with Broken for the best song on here. I love how Edgewater so succintly draws you in with the first hook of the chorus- "Eyes wired shut, running through my brain..." Awesome song, guys.

Hatebreed- Bound to Violence: A bit more heavy metal-ish than I'm used to, but I got used to this and actually started to like it. Hatebreed (and more particularly, this song) is what got me listening to bands like Lamb of God and Chimaira, so thanks.

Mark Collie- In Time: By far the most haunting songs on the soundtrack and one of my favorites. Go Mark!!!


Most people would expect me to end this with some kind of witty saying to aid you in making your decision to further research this product- but I'm just too damn tired. So here it goes: The Punisher is frankly one of the best movie soundtracks out there, so go check it out- you won't be disappointed.

Mass Attraction.......2005-07-07

I too, was pleasantly surprised by the lesser-known alterna-hard-rock acts on this disc (Trapt, Finger Eleven, Submersed). Along with Span's 2004 2CD masterpiece "Mass Distraction," this is one of the best guitar-driven experiences of the last year-AND that's saying something for a soundtrack to a movie!
