1991 wasn't such a bad year for metal.......2004-05-17

You just had to dig way beneath the surface. These guys are wicked fast. They have that thin guitar sound some people dislike... it's not as chunky and bassy as some bands, but they have a more progressive sound. It's still quite heavy, in fact the bass is allowed greater prominence by thinning out the guitar sound, which still has a sharp edge to it. They are also articulate and at ease with changing tempos within their songs. Cool live shows, too, as I remember from way back in 1991.

Anacrusis, please COME BACK!.......2003-01-25

When I was in high school, back in St. Louis, Anacrusis was the best local band on the scene, bar none. They are, and were, true musicians, a cut above the rest. In 1993, just before they released Screams and Whispers, I ran into a couple of the band members at a local record store. They told me about their upcoming album and I told them how much of a fan I was. They gave me an advance demo copy of Screams and Whispers on cassette, on the condition that I promise to buy the CD when it came out!!! Imagine my excitement!!! I readily agreed!!! When the CD came out, I faithfully purchased it (which I would have done anyway). Shortly thereafter, I saw them perform that album live at Mississippi Nights in St. Louis. They rocked that place better than anyone before or since. All I can say now is this: if the members of Anacrusis are reading this, I want to thank you for being the great musicians that you are. Whatever you do, continue to make your music. The world will be better for it. To everyone else out there, buy these CDs and you will be glad you did.

must have for any true metal fan.......2002-04-28

do you like exotic guitar riffs and changes? this album is for you. extremely heavy, manic impressions is some of the best work by anacrusis. it's unfortunate that they are no longer together. all you need to hear is the opening for "paint a picture", and "something real", which is the heaviest love song that i've ever heard. by far, it is the greatest song too on this album.
kenn nardy's vocals are twisted between whispers and pain filled screams. after hearing the talent of the twin guitar power of kevin heidbredder and kenn nardy, it'll make you wonder how metallica got so big on such garbage after anything after" in justice for all" came out. true talent, such a shame they only released four albums. their previous album "reason" is another must have if you honestly want to hear a great band that was never given any chance to succeed.

the best.......2001-01-16

I had this album. Unfortunally I lost it somewhere. Really searched it for a long time. The songs always kept playing on my mind. Now I have it back, and really, it is maybe the best album, I have ever listened to. If you are a true rocker, you should have this album in your collection. You have to hurry, because you could be to late.

a bit dreary.......2000-09-07

Although I enjoy technical metal, this album was just too grey and cold for me. The album seems to focus on technicality (though it is not hypertechnical, along Watchtower lines or anything) to the exclusion of engaging the listener. It was very hard to tell the songs apart. I highly recommend the followup album, however, "Screams and Whispers," which was undoubtedly Anacrusis' masterpiece.
