What's all the fuss about?.......2007-01-31
After hearing so many of the bands I love drop the name "Only Living Witness" and learning that their two full length albums would be reisssued, I couldn't resist picking this up. Upon doing so, I am sad to say, "What's the big deal?". To be fair, there are some memorable songs here. Prone Mortal Form, VTA, and December explode from the speakers with rage and precision, with more than a few moments calling Life Of Agony to mind. However, much of the bulk of this re-release is not anything special. In the context of the band's heyday, their legend seems suspect to me. Their best songs are just to close to LOA and the rest just aren't that good. Sure, Jonah Jenkins lyrics are somewhat unique, but in the end, many come across as pretentious and amateurish, almost as if he needs to prove that he has an impressive vocabulary; often at the expense of groove and melody. His singing itself is not much better than a half baked Vedder/Weiland/random90'sdrugaddict clone. Basically, if you miss grunge or Life Of Agony's old sound, this may please you. And hey, two cds for sixteen bucks isn't a bad deal. I just wish it would have been a great deal. Oh well.
A Lost Gem Found!.......2007-01-08
This masterpiece fell between the cracks at a time when bands like Soundgarden had let the mantle of "Grunge" lapse; and bands like Godsmack had yet to come to the fore of "Nu-metal" (or whatever it's called) by adding a dose of Sabbatherian technical ecstasy. There, between the heydays of STP and Sevendust, lurked a number of under-appreciated grief stricken pounders. There were Sugartooth, Chum, Mental Hippie Blood, Mindfunk (the Dropped CD); and a few more; some more appreciated than others. But my favorite by far was Only Living Witness. The band "Fireball Ministry" (Their music is not our music) that I heard the other day reminded me a little of OLW; but OLW was more diverse; with not every song being heavy. Another influence on OLW might have been Helmet; but again this band is more dynamic,as well as being tighter. It's great to see this out there again, because I think they were a little ahead of their time in some ways. Nothing revolutionary mind you, just very, very good. My only concern is that since a lot of bands have popularized this "sound"; younger listeners might be unimpresssed by the level of technological firepower compared to today's teched up crunch.
The way it was meant to be played..........2006-09-19
Only Living Witness, though now 11 years gone, have had their two full length records re-issued and not a note sounds dated. This is metal the way it was meant to be played: with precision, with fury, and chock full of hooks. The re-issue comes at a time when the "new metal" genre is emerging. OLW shows where bands like Shadows Fall got their roots. Highly recommended.

Not quite as good as Innocents.......1998-11-18
This CD took a little getting used to. I bought it after their CD innocents, and it isn't as good. Don't get me wrong, it is good, but it has more of a "cheesy-metal" sound to it. But hey, there's nothing wrong with cheesy rock...
Simply the best CD I have ever heard........1998-04-27
The debut of Only Living Witness still strikes me a few years after I first heard it. There's something in those vaguely-Sabbathish melodies that crunch along with Jonah Jenkins' amazing vocals on top. Only Living Witness carve out ground that's somewhere between metal and hardcore, but I never have been very good at reducing things to different genres. The disc starts out with the bludgeoning title track and never lets go, though there are a couple of instrumentals that lighten things up -- one even has a string section borrowed from a local university. The only thing wrong with this disc is that it's too short, but when something is this good, that's a small price to pay.
