Fun debut, but later albums are better........2007-04-21
This cd was a breath of fresh air for me when so many bands were releasing mediocre, soundalike cds. There are some great examples of what 36 Crazyfists is all about, but to me, it seems they were trying to find themselves a bit on this cd. From here to their next cd, they matured tons. I think they learned from their mistakes on this one and since then have hit two straight out of the park. Still, this is a strong debut, but some of the songs are lacking the special care and touch put on their newer songs.
With the absence of eye, I can start to bleed again.......2006-05-30
Come on....seriously...this cd rocks the f$$$ing house! Turn the speakers up to 15, turn the lights off, and get ready for a ear pounding master piece. The drumming on this cd is worth the price alone! Excellent production makes for an awesome listening experience! This is by far their best cd, and by far one of the best metal cd's of all time!
Turn to ashes 4.5/5
One more world 4/5
An agreement called forever 4/5
Eightminutesupsidedown 4.5/5
Slit wrist theory 5/5, my favorite song on the cd
Bury me where I fall 4.5/5
Disolate 3.5/5
Two months from a year 4/5
Chalk white 4/5, nice thick guitars!, brutal!
ALL I am 5/5 hard, heavy metal, third favorite on the cd!
Ceramic 4/5
Circle the drain 5/5 second favorite song on the cd! Awesome!
Left hand charity 2/5 uh??? weird way to end a cd.
54/65 or 8.3/10 awesome!
The Best Album Ever.......2006-03-24
This has to be my favorite album. 36 Crazyfists create a real unique "in-your-face" style of music on this album which just captures you and beats you to death. What I love most about the style of the music on this album is that it manages to be very intense and heavy, yet emotional. I really feel this album and I think it's the most powerful album I've heard.
Steve Holt, the guitarist and a big influence on me, is extemely clever on this album with various double tracks and sounds (listen to Two Months from a Year or Chalk White). His riffs are perfect for Brock's powerful and emotional voice. His lyrics are also very deep, which makes the music feel very powerful and taking.
My only disappointment is the lack of bass. Mick, the bassist, shines in "Turns to Ashes," but that's pretty much it. For the most part, he just follows along with Steve Holt.
I highly recommend this album to anyone looking for an intense and powerful listen.
I am not allowed to use such strong language thats needed to praise this.......2006-02-13
What a listen, ok this is not your usual going through the motions emo band this band has manged to fuse some of the more pseudo death metal traits with the emo sound, so accesible though brutal. Also there are hooks this is not just one big roar that some music of the screamo genre tends to end up being, the guitars are relentless but dynamic meaning that they use chord progression and crazy time signatures to mix it up and make this interesting not as inventive as system. It's sing-a-longable obviously the stand out song is slit wrist theory that if not for the expletive laden chorus would not be out of place on main stream radio well at least if I ran the station. Yes theres screaming but theres also singing. The last song is actually bordering on beautiful something most heavy bands cannot pull off. The lead singer has a distictive whine that makes his vocal seem very touching and almost affectionate one minute then "I am going to rip your throat" the next minute, see "An Agreement Called Forever". So who should buy this, Used fans that want something with a edge, Bleeding through fans who want more tune, Slipknot fans who have grown up, My Chemical Romance fans who have relised that theres more to life than My Chemical Romance. Basically anyone who like hard rock
Awesome like most of the reviews before say...here's my opinion.......2006-02-03
I remember reading on their website that the lead singer thought the second album needed to be cleaned up a bit which is why there is no swearing on that one and a bunch of curses in a couple songs here. While that in itself pisses me off, at least he admitted that it was HIS choice and not the label's choice. The second album is almost better but I like this one more simply because it is more brutal, depressing, bleak (not Cold self-titled bleak but I think you get me) and while it is obviously nu metal they still sound a lot better than most of the imitators out there. I love the vocals and the lyrics aren't as good as they were on the second album but are sufficient enough here. Guitars, bass, drums are fine with me (I am not a music aficionado so I don't know technical things about those three aspects of the music sorry :( but I do listen to every song the whole way through for the record). I recommend this for fans who want a change in their dose of nu metal because honestly I can't compare another band I've heard with these guys.

Gloomy Daydreaming Music at its Finest..........2000-08-30
This CD in its entirety evokes an image of the drizzly grey autumn afternoons so common in the band's native Seattle. The atmosphere of the album fits nicely into the ethereal-gothic niche, without ever approaching cliche territory. Fans of the genre may notice vocal similarities to Love Spirals Downwards and lovesliescrushing, and may draw comparisons music-wise, depending upon the track, to Cocteau Twins, Human Drama, and The Cure.
"Beauty and Bitterness" is the perfect soundtrack by which to pursue creative endeavors, while away a rainy day, or settle into bed at night. If you're a fan of ethereal music or female vocalists, this album is a must-have.

Album Description
Spikefarm Records is proud to release the long-awaited debut of the respected underground veterans Sólstafir, and hereby raise a glass of vodka in their honor. Iceland's finest brings us an album that is equal parts volcanic eruption and ice. Despite Sólstafir's isolated home being something of an uncharted region on the worldwide metal map, when it comes to delivering the goods these fellas do not need any novelty points on their side. 2005.
Album Details
It Has Been a Long Way Over the Sea to the Port of Helsinki, Where Representatives of Solstafir Recently Arrived for the Mastering Sessions of the Album (At the Famed Finnvox Studios). The Song "Bloodsoaked Velvet" Already Had Its Premiere on the Spine/Spikefarm Records Compilation Accompanying a Recent Metal Hammer Issue, Marking a Turning Point for a Band Who've Honed their Chops Relentlessly in the Demo/7" Circuit Ever Since their Inception Somewhere around 1993-94. The Band May have Started as a Heathen Black Metal Outfit, but Although Still Committed to the Former, the Black Metal Part of the Equation Has Over the Years Evolved Into Something Distinctly of their Own Both Musically and Lyrically -- and No, We Are Not Talking About Feeble Shots at Folk-metal. Instead, Solstafir's Sound Lies Somewhere Between Rock and Metal, with the Odd Dose of Psychedelia Thrown in for Good Measure.
Customer Reviews:
Beautiful!.......2006-12-17
This album really is a masterpiece, but to me it doesn't seem bitter so much as thoughtful, atmospheric and detached. It serves great as background music but also rewards the listener who stops to pay closer attention. After learning to love The Gathering Wilderness by Primordial, I thought that no one else could pull off anything similar, but I guess I wasn't counting on these Icelanders. Sólstafir show a real maturity and musical proficiency, helped by the very impressive production. There are no keyboards to make this record "moody" and no prog/power metal cheesiness. Like Primordial, Sólstafir sound sincere, even though what they're doing is quite progressive and musically inovative. For this they deserve endless respect.

Stop complaining and just listen.......2004-04-19
I love that the only reviews are from others bitching about how his students are his only fans. First of all, Eric Graf is a lyrical genius. The reason that his concert crowds consist of most of his students, is because he is very open about Boxstep and continually keeps them updated on his show dates. So do not start criticizing their band for their age 17-20 crowds. Its all about advertising and marketing. Once they start telling friends, those friends will tell friends,those friends will tell family members and possibly fathers in the business.... its not rocket science here. Come on, don't you people know anything. So before you start giving a bad review just based upon the listening crowd, you should listen to their newest cd, "Back Roads" for amazing voice duets, lyrics, and band jamming. Boxstep is simply amazing, and I am not just trying to get an "A".
Boxstep is awesome!!! (This punctuation is facetious.).......2004-01-03
Like seemingly everyone else who's reviewed-or even heard of-Boxstep, I attended North Allegheny Senior High School, where Eric Graf teaches English and Creative Writing. Having never been a student of his, my involvement with Mr. Graf was mostly peripheral. Virtually every one of my friends swore by his easy classroom manner and quirky charm, and insisted that I see Boxstep live. Though I feared that a rock band helmed by a literature teacher (and rather a conceited one, in my opinion) would reach toxic levels of hubris, I reluctantly accompanied my friends to a Boxstep show at Carnegie Mellon University. I should point out that although the venue was on campus, to say that it was "at" the university is perhaps a mite disingenuous: Boxstep played between two dormitories in what was essentially a small gazebo. Turnout was unimpressive, as the majority of fans in attendance were adoring students of Mr. Graf's; I soon realized that the other half of the crowd was Boxstep's opening act, the Boas, whose workmanlike performance was actually the highlight of the evening. When Graf et al assumed the stage, we were indeed buffeted by a "wall of noise," as a fellow skeptic described the band's bludgeon-by-numbers guitar work. The incorporation of viola and accordion harmonies into conventional folk rock, a promising touch, did little more than ratchet up the decibels in that tiny portico. I was certain that one of our number would collapse in a heap, blood issuing from a ruptured eardrum, as the octet pounded away. As it turns out, the venue's heinous acoustics were something of a godsend: Graf's lyrics, lost in the din, slavishly aped tired love-and-loss bromides, with a pinch of postmodernism thrown in for flavor.
To make a long review short, Boxstep is a breathtakingly unoriginal band whose quasi-intellectual posturing belies a profound, numbing ordinariness. No one but high school girls and recent graduates with an abiding love for Eric Graf (who is oh-so-dreamy) should give the unfortunately titled Faces All Look On a second look.
That pun was unintentional.
I Find It Funny..........2003-05-05
I find it funny that half of the reviews for this album are by lead singer's Eric Graf's students from the high school he teaches at. Are his students the only ones who listen to it or go to their shows? It sure seems like it if one were to look at these reviews.
Anyway, this album is pretty decent. Although I think a lot of it sounds similar and all the tracks seem to have this formula to them (that being intro-verse-chorus-verse-chorus-long instrumental outro), Mr. Graf's lyrics are quite good on such songs as "I Will Forget," and "UPS Worker." But still, there is something missing from this album. Maybe 1 solid rock track would be nice (look for thier next release which promises to be more rock oriented). I dunno, after hearing this album it kinda' makes me want to kill somebody, not because it's bad, but because I know Boxstep is capable of more.
A very pretty record.......2002-05-15
I saw Boxstep by accident at TT the Bears in Boston. A friend's band was playing there first show and they were good, followed by a very mediocre rock band. Then Boxstep comes on with mounds upon mounds of people and gear with violins and pianos and all. And they calmly begin to play some of the most gorgeous music I had ever heard live. It was one of the best shows I have ever seen. Very nearly a religious experience. There were maybe 10 people in the room. I was practicly drooling when I asked one of the violinists for a cd which I happily gave $10 for and would have paid more. The CD doesn't quite capture the experience of Boxstep live, and I have to take off a star just for the ine "and pardons come from a govener" but those are the only flaws on a brillient, poignent and beautiful CD that everyone should own. This CD sings me to sleep nearly every night, accompany's me on rainy days....Sounds like nothing else. They are not afraid to be pretty or to rock. Great slide guitar playing, great vocal harmonies. Great textures and brilliant songwriting. The closest thing I would say would be the Cowboy Junkies, but thats still nothing like it. Just buy it, support original artists.
Somewhere between Type O Negative and Britney Spears..........2002-02-12
What can I say about this band? Well, I can first let everyone know that many of these songs have deep, lovely meaning...to someone, that is. And since that someone is rarely myself, I must step back and look at this thing more objectively. Perhaps I can take a New Critical Formalist Approach. Better yet, why don't I Deconstruct it??? I could easily continue to talk about this CD in terms of ME, but instead I choose to shift to the third person so that the CD can become the topic of discussion.
This CD can be thought of in terms of other bands, not because it is derivative or cliched, but rather so that the reader can have a reference point with which to approach, and hopefully appreciate, the music. Artists like Johny Cash, Leonard Cohen, and Tom Waits, with their not-so-lovely voices, may come to mind in lead singer Eric Graf's terrestrial tales of location and longing. The sound is somewhere to the north of Low, to the southeast of Godspeed You Black Emperor!, a walk down from the Galaxie 500 river near the city of Dirty Three. The music creates a background of wistful desert nights and long red-eye flights across the hills and the sea, but the added dimension of Graf's vocals, with their existential need for love to try and fill the otherwise rhetorical landscape, give a feeling of eternity to the music. Sure, the search for true love will continue to elude man, but there is some hope amidst the disappointment of knowing that he will continue to pursue it until he ceases to exist.
These sorts of emotions have a hard-earned place in the hearts of anyone who has dared to give a part of themselves to someone who they find hope and security in.
Metaphors and deceptively simple lyrics give the lyrics a sort of levity that allows one to not have to walk away while scratching their head and pondering just what that guy meant anyway.
The production quality fits the organic feel of the album, and although the word "organic" could just about describe most of the music that exists in the world, this particular CD has its rightful place in being given that title.
There is a passionate approach to the material, as the artists are not dominated by musical knowledge, but more so by the spirit of their instruments and the collective feel of their sound.
Shifting to second person, if you have the urge to listen to music that lends itself to the type of emotions conveyed in the above paragraphs, then this album may very well rest comfortably on your shelf, between Luna's Penthouse and Palace Music's Viva Last Blues!.
Also, I want to give a shoutout to my boys at Amazon!! ....

Like his buddy Wild Billy Childish, Dan Melchior plunders elderly American musical styles...and then rams them back home to us as outpourings of some eccentric and curmudgeonly Brit weirdo who's sort of like an amped Doc Boggs. Melchoir freely combines second-hand Delta blues with grimy murder ballads from England and Appalachia. In The Red Records. 2002.

What White Stripes fans should be spinning!.......2003-05-18
This new album by Dan Melchior and crew is one of the catchiest, rawest blues/garage records ever recorded. All the necessary ingrediants for a classic of this genre are here in spades; great slide guitar, well written songs, a solid back beat and loads of energy and attitude. Dan Melchior's appearance ensures he will never be an MTV heart-throb...short, stocky, receding hairline, moustache...let's just say he's got a great look for radio. It's a shame that stuff like this dictates who gets the pages in NME and who doesn't because some of the most deserving music is being ignored in favor of someone with a better haircut. I digress...BUY THIS ALBUM! This is an instant classic!
Sexy Bassist.......2003-01-11
There are a lot of bands in the whole "garage rock" spectrum these days. These guys are the best of the bunch. REAL BRITISH BLUES PLAYED BY REAL BRITISH BLUESMEN. Plus the sexiest bassist in the bidness. Frogs? No Frog Difference!
