the best album from the greatest band.......2007-07-10
if you have one crowbar album to buy...... buy this one !! the most brutal band on this planet. Its heavy metal that makes me cry !! the riffs
are so emotionel, you can feel them in your bones !!! the lyrics, once again Kirk came out with the best lyrics you can imagine !! their is alot of albums i heard in my lifetime (im 33 years old) bands come and go but their is nothing like a crowbar record and i will never get tired of this.
Crowbar's best mature effort - NOLA sludge at its finest........2007-05-30
The title says it all. This is my favorite album of theirs, with "Crowbar" and "Sonic Excess..." close behind. Kirk's earth-shattering riffs groove like no one's business, with the help of the infamous Sammy Duet (ex-Acid Bath, Goatwhore, Ritual Carnage). If you like it "slow and heavy," you simply cannot go wrong with this album.
Awesome........2006-12-05
"...you learn from what's killing you."
This is by far the best Crowbar release. The songs are heavy like molten metal and the hooks are just as dangerous. You cannot escape the weight in this one. A+
A masterwork from the kings of southern doom.......2005-12-24
This album is not for the feint of heart, but if you enjoy heavy, deep, emotional and most of all LOUD music, this album is for you. Crowbar has been making some of the heaviest music on the planet for many years, but this album was the one where they really started to expand their horizons and introduce other elements. It's breathtakingly dark, depressed, and beautifully melodic in the most surprising way.
Truly a standout album in their impressive catalog, and an absolute must for fans of heavy music.
You can't not like this album.......2005-10-23
Can enough great things be said about this band? From the opening notes of the intro to the closing of Remember Tomorrow, this cd grabs you by the nuts and doesn't let go. Crowbar is one of the most talented bands out there. Sadly they don't get the recognition they deserve, but that seems to be all too common for the truly talented bands. Don't hesitate, BUY THIS NOW!

Disappointing.......2007-02-08
If you're looking for Crowbar's classical Doom sound look somewhere else. I'm long time Crowbar fan and this album really let me down. It's a far cry from the sound that made them who they are. I gave it a 3 because it's a decent rock/metal album.
Great.......2006-07-31
I really feel Kirk got what he wanted out of this cd. This is one my personal favorites.
No worries.......2006-07-31
I didnt wait long til i received the order, so great service, and the product was flawless.......not to mention Crowbar stomps anyway! Hail all things heavy
Crowbar keep crushing.......2006-06-03
When thinking of the word "consistency," only two examples come to mind: vanilla pudding and Crowbar (or sludge/doom metal in general).
Ever since Crowbar formed and released their debut album in 1991, this southern quartet have always been in one niche: making slow, low-key, brooding, and ultra heavy sludge/doom metal. Despite several lineup changes (Pantera alumni Rex Brown played bass on this album), Kirk Windstein and his boys have never "sold out" or strayed far from their roots. Hence, the band's eighth studio album was no exception; "Lifesblood For The Downtrodden" serves up a new batch of pulverizing, bone crunching, mind numbing, speaker destroying, Southern flavored metal.
Granted, there are a couple of curveballs thrown into the mix here and there: "Fall Back To Zero" is a dreary, mostly melodic semi-ballad, and the album closer, "Lifesblood," is an acoustic strummed song with piano by former drummer Sid Montz. But every other one of the nine songs on here are absolutely bludgeoning. Some examples of this are the slowly churning, grinding, sledgehammer riffs on the album opener, "New Dawn," the faster-than-most fourth track, "Angels Wings," and the pounding skull cracker, "Coming Down."
Even if you're a metalhead, sludge/doom metal may or may not be your thing, so you'll definitely want to hear this album before buying it. But most metalheads will tell you "Lifesblood For The Downtrodden" is yet another tasty, satisfying treat from this Bayou-based band. And, quite frankly, Crowbar seem incapable of creating anything else.
Crowbar Does It Yet Again.......2006-04-28
I literally am stunned that as long as Kirk has been at this game he still has this kind of material in him. When does the well run dry? Probably every artist's worst question. Punishing riffs, heartfelt lyrics, and a whole new band. But he perseveres. And without sounding redundant (you know, yeh, yeh, that sounds like what you've already put out); as a long time Crowbar fan I take my hat off!! Of course he sits down and thinks to himself "I really don't want to put out exactly what I've done before." But what then . . . completely change and put out my best Aerosmith imitation like Mettallica did with Load (of . . .)? This is not death metal, it is not thrash (though it does kick up and make you want to stomp wild furry animals), it is mid tempo to slow crashing, chunky, sink your teeth into it pounding heavy metal. It is not melodic metal, nor techno metal. But it will kick your . . .

Definition of Power.......2005-05-08
"Equilibrium" is yet another great Album by Crowbar. Actually the first Crowbar Album i ever heard, and i've been hooked from then on. This Album seems to be one of their slowest, and some songs aren't as powerful and/or memorable as other songs. Kirk Windstein's vocals, as always, are truly brutal and fit this type of music perfectly. All in all, i tend to think this is still one of Crowbar's best.
The most outstanding songs on this Album would be "I Feel The Burning Sun", "Down Into The Rotting Earth", "Uncovering", "Buried Once Again", "Things You Can't Understand" and "Euphoria Minus One". Those songs are the most brutally heavy, and easily listenable on this CD. "Buried Once Again" has an awesome feel to it. It's both extremely heavy, and almost groovy. And after around 2 minutes, goes into a truly headbanging riff that you wish would never end. The song "Equilibrium" also does this at around the 2:05 minute mark, going into a massive-sounding brutally heavy riff with Kirk Windstein screaming "Power Leading Me". And that's exactly what this Album is. It's about Power. It's the definition of Power.
"Down Into The Rotting Earth" reminds me alot of Crowbar's song, "To Build A Mountain", off their Album "Sonic Excess In It's Purest Form". They both have almost has the same kind of song structure, as it starts off extremely heavy with Kirk Windstein giving his all vocally, then at around the 2:25 minute mark it slows down into a slow-and-sludgey riff that eventually fades away towards the end of the song. "To Touch The Hand Of God", the next song, is a Piano track that i really don't think fits on this CD. Unlike other acoustic songs by Crowbar, this is one song i tend to always skip. But the Album picks up again with the headbanging, heavy song "Uncovering" that will no doubt have every fan throwing the \m/ sign into the air.
The cover song of "Dream Weaver", i've read is one of Kirk Windstein's favourite songs ever. And it's really not that bad of a cover song. They cover it, with Kirk giving his trademark gruff/growls/screaming..whatever you want to call it, but it's very distinct anyway..and the heavy riffing is there too. It's a very slow, sludgey type of (cover) song, that i think is an alright ending to this great Album. Although it's not the "true" ending..because if you fast forward after the cover of "Dream Weaver", you get a hidden track titled "In a Gadda Da Vida" which is another cover song, done originally by a band called Iron Butterfly, i think..it goes for only 1:09 minutes, sounding obviously recorded when they were drunk or something, they do the song with no instruments, just their voices.
Overall, there is enough consistency on this Album to keep any Crowbar fan, who hasn't yet picked this up, happy. I think it's one of their best, and it's very highly recommended to all newcomers as well. Also check out "Sonic Excess In It's Purest Form" and "Lifesblood For The Downtrodden", which shouldn't be missed either.
Tired and lazy, too much beer..........2003-07-03
Crowbar is niether at thier slowest or fastest here. Piddling somewhere in the middle. Great songs, great riffs... Kinda loose and sloppy with the lyrics, definately not the greatest Crowbar album. Will not stand on it's own in your collection like the others. Including a cover of Dream Weaver kinda, to tell the truth, cheeseballed this outta my stack. Campy, loosely knit, and just not a great Crowbar album. Follow up is 100X better.
Be wary of this CD.......2001-03-12
This CD is good, and shows a lot of promise from Crowbar, but in my opinion the melodies dont move. There is no feeling of aggression or adrenaline as you get in a song like Pantera's "Revolution is my name" when the guitar riffs stop and the power cords start. So...Definitely an angry album, filled with obvious personal experiences from the band, but also boring.
another good cd from crowbar.......2000-07-08
equilibruim, the sixth full length from the sludge/doomcore band crowbar is another good example of southern metal. from the opening track i fell the burning sun to the cover of dream weaver the cd is pretty flawless. some tracks sound alike but some are different for crowbar like to touch the hand of god and dream weaver. sammy doesn't do any solos like on odd fellows rest but has some good riffs, good bridges and breakdowns. this isn't really anything new for crowbar but another good cd. fav tracks: i fell the burning sun, buried once again, command of myself, and equilibrium.
prey the lid off your coffin N.O.L.A.!.......2000-06-07
Leveraging their mighty weight against the grain of trendy modern metal landscape New Orlean's sons Crowbar return to set a new balance in aggression and domination. Twelve years and six full length releases into a career that has helped define the NOLA scene Crowbar continue redefining toxic grind. Their gritty, doom inspired sludge weilds an overwhelming power, fully matching the thick buyau air from which it was conceived. Crowbar are truly southern swill, laiden with enough inner thunder to match a hurricane and the girth of the mighty Mississippi river which the storm crosses. The dark, humming distortion of the guitars that has been a Crowbar signature is met with new recording and production techniques, building upon the harmonic experimentation of Odd Fellows Rest. The richer textures add additional dimension and depth and further build upon the doomy Crowbar myth. The lyrics continue to be deep and introspecive, a personal purgery of angst by frontman Kirk Windstein. The delivery however, is somewhat more billowing and haunting with the inclusion of harmonic effects and vocal layering. The addition of Sammy Satan Pierre-Duet to the current line-up lends a feverish Acid Bath-esque element to the already titanic sound. Throughout Equiliberium, Crowbar experiment with tempos and vocal structures to break up the monotonaty of the drawl. Each slab served up has its own musical personality ranging from uptempo crust to near gothic grinds. There are some serious corrosive forces at work in the new ellements of Crowbar's sound, stripping away the expectation of a stero-typical doom-metal offering. Crowbar equate heavy with the weight of the primordial ooze and metal with casket nails, so be prepared to have the lid pryed off your coffin by the southern grit and swampy sludge spewed forth by one of metal's heaviest quartets.

the beat metal band......ever.......2006-11-06
if you want real slow, fat sludgy metal ... this is it.Kirk is the best frontman ever and after all these years he still can come up with the most
brutal riff on this earth.All songs is solide, listen to the 1st song and the 5th one back to back and you could go throught brick wall.Been a fan
since 92 and cant get enought.They are finaly coming out with a dvd in 2007.Recomend ODD FELLOW REST, these are the 2 best albums (even if all the albums is worth buying) Go ahead, buy this...
If You Love Riffs, You've Come To The Right Place.......2005-05-08
As soon as the mammoth "The Lasting Dose" kicks in, this Album by Crowbar, "Sonic Excess In It's Purest Form", will leave you wanting to listen to it again and again. This Album, i think, is up there easily with their debut "Crowbar", "Equilibrium" and also their latest release "Lifesblood For The Downtrodden". This CD is one of their heaviest, yet still melodic, Albums to date. With extremely strong vocals by Kirk Windstein, Crowbar follow up from "Equilibrium" with a devastating display of power.
Like some other Crowbar Albums, there is an acoustic/instrumental song by the name of "In Times of Sorrow" on this CD. With the rest of the Album being extremely heavy and brutal, this adds a break inbetween the powerful riffage and it sounds very well done. "Failure To Delay Gratification" is almost a throwback to the old days of Crowbar, when they almost made Hardcore music but fused it with sludgey riffs that just have defined what Crowbar is about. This song is probably the fastest sounding song on this Album (At least at the start of the song), but slows down after about a minute, and delves into a slow riff that carries on pretty much until the end of the song and leads into "Empty Room", the dramatic almost epic and massive-sounding finisher, perfectly.
"Awakening" is almost in the same vein as "Failure To Delay Gratification", starting off pretty fast then slowing down into Crowbar's trademark extremely-heavy sludgey-riffing. I think "Counting Daze", "To Build A Mountain" and "The Lasting Dose" showcase Crowbar's sound perfectly. Those 3 songs are probably the heaviest on this Album, but the whole Album as a whole is one heavy beast.
My favourite songs would be "The Lasting Dose", "To Build A Mountain", "Thru The Ashes (I've Watched You Burn)", "Repulsion In It's Splendid Beauty", "Counting Daze", "In Times of Sorrow", "Failure To Delay Gratification" and "Empty Room". I think "It Pours From Me" and "Suffering Brings Wisdom" are extremely good too, and add alot to the overall tremendous heaviness to this Album.
If you like Crowbar, but haven't yet picked this up for whatever reason..Don't miss out on this Album. This Album is one of their most heaviest, melodic, mature and intense Albums to date. You just can't be disappointed in it. To new fans of Crowbar, i seriously suggest you try this first. I think this Album is a great way to get into this talented band, and you'll be hooked from then on. This Album is definitely 5/5.
History of Heavy.......2004-07-18
In 1968, Blue Cheer was the heaviest band on earth. In 1970, Black Sabbath dethroned them. In 1985, Pentagram dethroned Sabbath, but in 1986, Pentagram abdicated the throne of the heaviest band on earth and Candlemass acended the throne. Their reign lasted until 1992 when Crowbar invaded the heavy metal scene. To this day no one has been able to conquer or subdue these sludgey, doomed juggernauts. they are ultimately slow and HEAVY, brain-crushingly so. If you do not like slow and heavy, Crowbar will crush you. If you are strong enough to aproach the throne through such gravity, then you will be rewarded with killer heavy metal!
Dependable sludge metal effort.......2004-02-11
Is it possible that, contrary to popular belief, CROWBAR are actually advancing themselves musically, album by album, though by infinitesimal degrees of the sort that are as impossible to chart on a human scale as Darwinian evolution? The skeletal dirges that litter the band's back pages may eventually line up end to end in a fashion that sees their Neanderthal primitiveness stand erect, though it may also take several generations of their trudging anti-thrash before any such aimless second guessing can be confirmed. Regardless, this latest baby step forward is yet another dreamlike state of sleepy aggression, mired hopes and veiled fragility, quite a far cry from the bratty rage of the korn generation (whose Jonathan Davis has a lower vocal register akin to Kirk Windstein's most reaching falsetto). Once again CROWBAR achieve a kind of beauty belied by the bared and ink stained guts spilling out over the CD booklet. In film and in print, we like our demons to be personified in incendiary plot devices which inevitably result in either an explosion or an exorcism of the soul. The ten year tenure of this New Orleans quartet has never made it that easy. It's in a slower, simmering manner that CROWBAR plies our wounds, choosing to reopen the same scrapes and blisters over and over again rather than struggle vainly to inflict that mortal blow, as so many ragemongers of the day seek to accomplish. In this, they manage to convey the haunting doubt that plagues our subconscious long after the momentary tantrum subsides.
Sludgy........2002-10-30
Kirk Windstein can come up with some of the coolest riffs out there. That's what I like about sludge- the riffs. This is slower than what I usually listen to but the heaviness is there. At times, these guys almost remind me of Pantera. "Awakening" is the best song here.

Early Release of the Louisiana Sludge Scene.......2007-04-03
Decent, but not spectacular, first outing from the Louisiana sludge merchants. The production here does not stand out as much as it would on future efforts like 1993's Crowbar or future releases. Still a powerful, albeit muddy, album. Isn't that the point anyway? I own the 2000 Spitfire remaster which has improved sound and a different but not necessarily better album cover.
CROWBAR'S DOOMIEST AND COOLEST CD EVER!!!!!.......2006-06-02
CROWBAR'S VERY BEST RELEASE!!!! I played it countless times ever since I bought it in 92 and must get their remaster with a different cover.This cd is not as sludgey as their later releases but more like doom-core metal with a grindy,biker,Sabbathy sound.And many of the songs are VERY depressing and fueled with bitterness and anger,such as "My Agony","4 Walls","Feeding Fear","I Despise",and others.And the "Obedience Thru Suffering" song has a great slow-grindy-chord intro,but then later in the song the music changes to some EXTREMELY COOL biker doom metal.Whenever this part of the song plays(as well as other parts throughout this cd),im always pounding my fists in the air quite aggressively as I play airdrums and bagging my head.THIS IS A MUST HAVE CROWBAR CD!!!!!
the new cover art?.......2005-10-03
I love this album. LOVE it! I originally bought it a couple years after it came out. I kept hearing about this new band Crowbar from artists like Marty Friedman, Phil Anselmo etc. "Crowbar is the heaviest band on the planet." So after a few listens I finally understood what they were all about. It just took me a while to adjust to the sssllloooowwww-ness of it all. And Kirk's unique vocal approach. Anyway, my original cd was stolen along with the original cover art, which I actually like a lot more than the new art. Anyone know who painted the original cover?
Heavy Tunes and Great Cover Art.......2004-02-25
Awesome! Very heavy Sabbath-like dirges. This is a great reissue by Spitfire and I'm glad they decided to have DiSilvio redo all the cover art and package designs for these older
realeases. Superior product all around!

My first Crowbar!!.......2005-11-10
I usually don't care for Live albums, but when I first heard Crowbar in the early 90's I wanted to get one of their CD's. At the time All I Had(I Gave) was the only Crowbar I had heard, but I liked it enough I definitely wanted to hear more from them. At the time I didn't have internet access, so my resources for finding music I liked was limited. I came across Live +1 and bought it despite of it being live. It has All I Had on it, so I figured why not. It is definitely worth every penny. A few years back I sold my CD collection to pay bills, and I am currently building my collection back up. I bought this album first, again, and now that I can sample from most of the other albums I realized there is a lot more Crowbar for me to enjoy. I ordered all the albums, because Crowbar is just that good. If you want a good place to start with Crowbar I recomend this CD, although you really can't go wrong with this band. Just make sure you get Crowbar from the 90's and not the 70's.
ok, but not great or terrible.......2001-02-25
This cd is most certainly not one of the best metal albums, however if slow and low music (forgive the rhyme) with barked vocals is your thing this is one album you might want to buy.
