the apex of into another.......2006-05-02

This is by far the best album Into Another has released. The first album (self-titled) was awesome. Pure power metal in the vein of Iron Maiden but with a much heavier groove going. The EP (Creepy Eepy) was amazing, lending a little more seriousness to the vocals but still a pure power metal record complete with a ballad about a dead friend. But who knew they would arrive here, at Ignaurus, with such creativity and such beauty all wrapped up in sick progressive metal and blues? With such wonderful, poetic lyrics about frustration, dying, the hidden evils of religion, dead war heroes, maritime murders, ghost pirates and fear of identity?

To this day, this is easily one of the most inventive pieces of music I have heard. It is still metal, but it is heavily blues based, and the guitars are heavy, but in a different way. They steamroll instead of crunching. And Richies voice has gotten even better (So have his lyrics) There is nothing too toungue in cheek about this release, save maybe the acoustic "Two Snowflakes" which is about losing someone dear to you. But even that is still a great song. The opener "Running Into Walls" is by far one of my favorite songs. I feel awkward even describing it, as it is not so metal, and it is not all that heavy, but it gives you a punch in the gut, and then makes you feel all flowery. "Poison Fingers" may be the heaviest point on this record, but dips in and out of various proglike passages incorporating heavy riffs mingled with bluesy solos and some amazing bass work from Tony Bono (R.I.P.) And Richie keeps that voice rising up and down throughout, occasionally giving a thrusting grunt to punctuate a tense moment, and then its free and flowing again. "Maritime Murder" is a great song about a guy who was thrown off a boat at sea and comes back to haunt his detractors...wonderful imagery of sinking and the music grows to almost a tribal beat as the song closes. "
"William" starts off acoustically, very pretty, and details the story of a dead war hero and his memories. The chorus is great, and the songs builds with some good riffing. "Anxious" is a great ending to one of the most unique records around. It is in the first person and is song from the perspective of someone who wishes they were a different creatur. Something not so human, so they could hide away. The lyrics are great, "I wish i had wings, you'd all look so funny down there"

Overall, this my not be a very good review of this album. It is very hard to put into words, and the only way to know is to just pick it up, like I did. If you are familiar with their older work, there is a very good chance you will love this record. And if you are familiar with Seemless, their final record, then you will definitely enjoy this one....

Into Another-Ignaurus.......2004-08-15

Wonderful album. The second album by Into Another is their crowning acheivment, mixing Post-Hardcore and Maiden-like metal to come up with something unique. This album slows down the pace compared to their first outing _Into Another_ with 2 acoustic tracks and more mid-tempo rockers. Richie Birkenhead shines on this album with his high register vocals. He sings about haunted ghost ships, deceased war-heroes and much more. Some of the highlights on this album are Poison Fingers which has shouted vocals behind crushing riffs. Drowning features a great mid tempo gallopy riff and has a spacey atmosphere to it. Lastly, Anxious is an acoustic track and a great way to close out this album. It has an amazing bassline and has interesting lyrics about wanting to be another creature. If you ever see this album in stores (very hard to find) pick it up. You won't be disappointed

Still the Best.......2000-06-15

I've listened to Into Another for about 5 years now, and I still love them. I've been to 2 of their shows and they're just as good live as they are on their CD's. Their lyrics are original, creative and full of energy. This is definitely an awesome CD to buy!

Life is not complete without this album.......2000-01-25

This is one of the most amazing albums I have ever heard. More than hardcore, more than emo, Into Another will appeal to fans of both. Catchy melodies mixed with sincere, intelligent, and poetic lyrics make Ignaurus a staple on the CD rack of anyone who knows what's up.

A mellow masterpiece of one of the best new york bands.......1999-10-13

If you are one of the smart ones who is considering buying an Into Another record, you might be saying, 'Hmmmm, but which one to buy??' If you were even smarter, you would be buying all of them. To me, 'Ignaurus' definitely would be the epitome of Into Another at their finest. Richie's lyrics and vocals allow you to escape into another world...the 'Creepy Eepy' ep...a definite must have as well. ALSO CHECK OUT RICHIE'S "PRE-INTO ANOTHER DAYS" BAND...UNDERDOG...A RE-RELEASE ON WRECKAGE RECORDS ....a must have for the collector...old school hardcore...Although not available through here, check out 'Seemless' their latest release. And for all you die hards, there's actually an unreleased CD bootleg floating around but we won't talk about that....
