A great debut item.......2007-07-22

Until about 10 years ago, the first three Clancy Brothers albums were only available on trashy reissues that had terrbile sound quality. Now, here they are remastered and restored for future generations to enjoy. The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem would become the biggest names in Irish folk music throughout the 1960's and 1970's, performing all over the world, including biannual concerts at Carnegie Hall in NYC. The very first album they ever recorded was done in a kitchen using only harmonica and some sparse guitar. Otherwise, it was just the four of them belting out traditional Irish songs. When that release (also called Rising of the Moon) was deemed unsuitable, the group went back in 1959 and rerecorded this album, augmented by professional musicians. It is a fantastic debut record which showes the great potential that these artists posessed. Hopefully the very first album will surface someday on a CD release, but until then, I will continue to enjoy this second version of a great album.
Also available are "Come Fill Your Glass With Us" (second album), and "The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem" (third album).

WHEN THE HARP WAS CRUSHED BENEATH THE CROWN .......2006-04-18

The following review is being used to comment on several of the Clancy Brothers with Tommy Makem recordings. The obvious musical skills, talent and commitment to craftsmanship of this group during its history need no comment by me. Nor does their commitment to keeping alive the Irish folk tradition. Thus, the criterion for review is whether the works represents the political traditions associated with the historic struggle for independence from the English.

A word. As I developed a quasi- leftist political consciousness in my youth I also, in an unsystematic and for the most part then unconscious manner, developed an interest in what is today is called roots music. Initially this was reflected in my first love-the Blues. During the early sixties, under the influence of Dave Van Ronk at first, then Bob Dylan, Pete Seeger, Woody Guthrie and the rest I developed an interest in folk music, then at the height of its revival. It is through this process that I came to appreciate the work of the artists under review. This is odd, and I will explain why. I was actually reared on the material presented here by my maternal grandfather, a great supporter of the Irish Republican Army. I gained from him my own romantic attachment to the exploits of the IRA in 1916 and beyond until independence. Although my own political evolution since then has led me away from political support to the IRA I still love the old songs which represent the spirit of Irish national identity and aspirations for national liberation historically suppressed by the bloody English.

A word about the songs presented here. The liner notes included with the CD are helpful here. The songs range in subject from `The Rising of the Moon' at the time of Wolfe Tone and the United Irishman, probably the last time that a united, independent, non-sectarian single Irish state was possible, to `Kevin Barry' and `Sean Treacy' just before the partition in 1921, creating the mess that still confronts us politically today. That said, as these lines are being written we are approaching the 90th Anniversary of the Easter Uprising of 1916. The vision that James Connolly and others of a Social Republic proclaimed at the General Post Office still waits. In short, there is still work to be done, North and South, united or as independent states. Listen to these songs to understand where we have come from and why we still need to fight.

Rebellion and transcendence.......2002-04-20

A timeless album from the boys, and a great collection of songs. When I was growing up (in England), just about every household we ever went to had this album - even a lot of English folk music fans loved the Clancies and Tommy M. You can't be a Folk fan and not love Irish music.

My one regret is that this album lacks a traditional version of Wearin' O The Green (the Wolfe Tones covered it on Profile). Like so many classic Irish rebel songs, Rising Of The Moon was written about the 1798 United Irishmen uprising, and is the same air as WOTG, but lyrically it lacks some of The Green's power. WOTG was about the banning of the shamrock and St. Patrick's Day by the English, and when they sang "They're hanging men and women there, for the wearin' o' the green" they weren't kidding.

This beautifully remastered CD contains a very informative booklet, which gives something of the history of each song, and which singer is featured, as well as details about each of the boys, including Pat's former IRA connections. Street cred, or what?

There are so many standout songs here, including Tipperary Far Away (sometimes known as Sean Tracy) and The Wind That Shakes The Barley, which features the golden voice of Tommy Makem. While Tommy's version is quite simply the best rendition ever by a male, the greatest version by a female remains Lisa Gerrard's version on Toward The Within by Dead Can Dance (available through Amazon).

Truly a wonderful album, full of love, passion and ancient wisdom.

Early Clancy stuff, seriously presented..........2001-12-30

I have this album on vinyl issued on the Tradition label. There is a story, probably not true, that the boys recorded these songs in their kitchen around l956. It doesn't matter. If you like the Clancys and/or songs of the Irish uprisings, it is a must own. I have played it to death over the years, and had to buy a cassette reissue when my last turntable failed. Undoubtedly, one of these days I will buy this CD to replace the tape. I like almost everything on this collection. These are hymns of death, bravery, oppression, betrayal, guerilla warfare, grief and loss. Doesn't sound like fun, but it is great music. Later in their careers, the Clancys put out some great humorous songs, drinking songs, love songs...but this one is different. If you have an interest in Ireland's struggle against Britain, and sometimes the fight between factions of Irishmen, this is essential.

Average customer rating: Points off for poor mastering, packaging If you buy one Clancy Brothers CD...this is the one!! Great rebel music.

Points off for poor mastering, packaging.......2003-02-28

Terrific material here from the Clancys and Makem, no question about that. The original two albums this CD has been assembled from are classics of Irish traditional folksong, and in a way, this CD package is the best way to acquire both in digital format at a bargain price. However, the mastering for CD is perfunctory at best and a cheat at worst. The first half, the rebel songs from the original "Irish Songs of Rebellion" (aka Rising for the Moon; be aware of many repackagings of Clancy Bros. material on various labels) is the better job, although the production still sounds thin. But the second half, the drinking songs from "Come Fill Your Glass with Us", is woeful. The playing speed is too fast compared to the original vinyl and these songs have patently been prepared from a vinyl LP, not original master tapes -- you can still hear the pops and clicks and turntable hum. There's no excuse for this.

Many reviewers of other Clancy Bros. albums have complained about shoddy repackagings and haphazard presentation and noted that it's about time Sony/Columbia put some effort into compiling a complete set of Clancy Bros. recordings in proper sound quality. I heartily second this motion. ...

If you buy one Clancy Brothers CD...this is the one!!.......2001-03-14

Ah, Ireland, the land of sad love and happy war. The songs are funny, rousing, sad, uplifting and satirical all at the same time. Many of the songs, such as "Nell Flaherty's drake are camoflaged songs of protest against the British "oppressors." I find my self humming the songs and I'm not even Irish. What's even more unusual is my 17 year old son likes the songs too.

Great rebel music........1999-12-12

The Clancy's are at their best when singing about rebellion. This album will remind you just how much you hate the Brits!

Very good introduction to '70's punk........2007-06-08

This boxed set has many great and classic punk songs. I would recommend it particularly to young people today who didn't live in the late '70's. Back in '78 or so, some of this type of music is what really got me interested in rock'n'roll to begin with. I think it's a great collection, but Elvis Costello, Joe Jackson, and some others who were really not true punk rock, don't really belong on this set. However, it's good to see many of the New York (CBGB) bands here. This is the true rebellious music of the 1970's, just like rockabilly was in the 1950's, even though the genres and styles are completely different.

"Yes Thanks" to No Thanks.......2007-02-09

This was a gift for a really good friend for her birthday and I just gave it to her the other day. She called me the next day and said she hadn't stopped playing the CD box set on her stereo and in her car because it brought her back to being 13 again when punk was in its infancy. She loved it.

So I guess anyone who enjoyed this era of punk will enjoy this CD box set immensely.

The soundtrack to my college years.......2006-10-21

This set takes me right back to smoky clubs and spiky-haired boys with black nails and eyeliner. Good times. Good music.

I have to agree with previous reviewers, though - this is not an overview of the punk movement by any stretch of the imagination. Luckily for me, that's not why I bought it. If you're looking for a representative collection of early punk, keep walking. But if you're looking to reconnect with your mis-spent youth, this is the place.

The Real Epitaph.......2006-05-15

It somehow just makes sense that thirty years later you'd see a cd version of the same type of lame "new wave" cash-in albums that cropped up like mushrooms in '77-'78. The predictable and the loss leaders are all here, in a way that really makes me oddly nostalgic

Amazon.com essential recording

The "Essential" Purcell? Well, you could get a bunch of critics to argue about that for a few days, but in the meantime, here is a sampler of highlights from the King's Consort's three admirable Purcell series: the Complete Odes and Welcome Songs, Complete Anthems and Services, and Complete Secular Solo Songs. There are, of course, some of Purcell's most-performed pieces (which probably are "essential"): Dido's Lament from Dido and Aeneas, "Sound the trumpet" from Come, ye sons of Art, Rejoice in the Lord alway (the "Bell Anthem," named for the string figure at the opening that sounds like pealing bells), the gently patriotic "Fairest isle, all isles excelling" (sung by a miscast James Bowman), and a selection from the funeral music for Queen Mary. There are also some delightful surprises--particularly among the little-known secular songs and church music. The plaintive "O fair Cedaria" gets a lovely performance by Barbara Bonney (a singer not usually associated with Purcell); tenor Rogers Covey-Crump (possibly the ideal high tenor for Purcell) sings the enchanting "If music be the food of love"; the church anthems "Let mine eyes run down with tears" and "Remember not, O Lord, our offences" have some startling harmonies as daring as any Monteverdi ever wrote. If you're unfamiliar with Purcell, this reasonably priced disc is a good place to start exploring without a big initial investment. --Matthew Westphal

Mad about Baroque.......2007-02-12

This is a terrific CD. The music is breathtaking. Just buy IT !!!!!

The beauty of the songs brings tears to my eyes.......2002-08-21

Absolutely beautiful baroque music! The arrangament, singing and instrumentation is superb. It is too bad that Henry Purcell is not as widely known as Bach, because he should be recognized equally well."The Sparrow and the Gentle dove" is alone worth the price of the album! I can not stop playing it!

Brilliant.......2001-10-31

Like in his renditions of Handel's oratorios, Robert King manages to bring a freshness and strenght to Purcell's music that I had seldom heard before. This CD also features some of the best performers of early music in the world. My favourite tracks are Oh, Fair Cedaria, sung by the multi-talented Barbara Bonney; Dido's Lament from Dido and Aeneas, sung by Gillian Fisher; She Loves and she Confesses too, sung by the wonderful Susan Gritton; and Welcome, Welcome Glorious Morn, sung by Rogers Covey-Crump. The only track I didn't find absolutely wonderful is Fairest Isle, sung here by James Bowman. Don't get me wrong, I generally love Mr Bowman, I think that his performance in Mr Purcell's Most Admirable Composures (also conducted by Robert King) makes it another essential Purcell recording; but I find that Fairest Isle was much better done elsewhere, particularly by Christopher Hogwood and Barbara Bonney.

These songs aren't only beautiful, they're also poignant, sweet and unpretentious. I think that it will be very clear to anyone who listens to this recording that Mr Purcell was one of the finest composers that ever lived.

Be Welcome then, great Sirs (and Mesdames)........2001-10-20

If anyone has benefitted from the reversion in the last three or so decades to period instruments and historical reconstruction, it is Henry Purcell. Before, he was merely great, the peerless word-setter in the English language, a virtuoso of boundless range, a professional composer whose offical commissions were always imbued with personality and invention. But period instrumentation has added to this a greater depth, an other-worldly texture of sound. With his intricate, multi-part vocal writing, his preference for low, rumbling instruments such as the bass viol and the strange and remarkable theorbo, as well as his often sombre and low-key subject matter and treatment, Purcell creates a round, glowing, humming sound as pregnantly full as dub reggae.

This has an extraordinary effect on the listener. Whereas Bach, with his mathematical abstractions, sounds universal and timeless, Purcell's music takes the listener back 300 years, back to different ways of thinking about, feeling about and addressing things we still think etc. about today - death, love, friendship. The emotion is timeless, but the music's beauty is alien, THEIRS, hence its preciousness.

A lot of intelligence has gone into the unity of this compilation, beginning with two Welcomes (to the dawn and to the listener, in this case a King), and ending with thoughts of evening, death and a Baroque 'Thank you for the music'. These are bright, fanfare-like works, but the predominant mood is slow, ruminative, quiet. The selection covers the wide range of Purcell's oeuvre, from opera and funeral marches to secular songs and odes, and includes his most famous vocal works - Dido's Lament from Dido and Aeneas, sung by Gillian Fisher, and never more evocative of pagan loss and death; the massive 'Bell Anthem', with its ingenious opening symphony and joyful antiphon; and a miraculously serene 'Evening Hymn', Dido's opposite, death indicating hope, the treble voice swirling over the heavy ground bass like the soul released from the inert body.

it might seem quixotic to choose highlights from an exemplary collection of highlights, but the entry of the strings washing over the serene repetition of 'Be Welcome then, great Sir' always makes my heart stop still, while the musical picture of 'Bold Honour', the 'noisy Nothing, stalking shade', blocking the poet's amorous intentions in 'She loves and confesses too', adds a chilling hint of life's transience to a bouyantly bawdy song.

Brilliant Purcell Disc .......2000-11-30

With this album director and Purcell expert Robert King provides the listener with an excellent introduction to the composer's vocal works. The pieces presented here were taken from Mr. King's recordings of 'The Complete Odes and Welcome Songs', 'The Complete Anthems and Services', 'The Complete Secular Solo Songs' and diverse anthology discs. King, his wonderful soloists and musicians do the brilliance of Purcell's music fully justice. Whether he was commissioned by royalty, the church or theatre, Purcell shone in all areas. This disc certainly demonstrates the variety and originality of his craft, not to speak of his uncanny ability of setting words to music.

An outstanding Purcell offering. With a beautiful perfomance by Barbara Bonney of 'Oh, fair Cedaria'. Susan Gritton is equally captivating in 'She loves and she confesses too'. Gillian Fisher's rendition of the famous 'Dido's Lament' is haunting and poignant. Further an intelligent and brilliant 'Hosanna to the highest' by Michael George. James Bowman and Michael Chance sparkle in the countertenor duet 'Sound the trumpet' (from 'Come Ye sons of Art away'). And I should not forget to mention the joyous, luminous performance of the beautiful 'Bell Anthem'. To name but a few favourites, only James Bowman's 'Fairest Isle' was a disappointment.

Those who are familiar with Purcell's music will get an excellent disc with some of his most beloved works. If you are new to Purcell, this is, as already said a great introduction. Which might be the incentive to further explorations of Purcell.

Hip-hop continues to grow up, expanding beyond the 'hood and outside of its American birthplace. Like France's IAM or Britain's Dizzee Rascal, this Canadian rapper puts a unique internationalist spin on contemporary rap. K-os is a skilled rhyme-slinger who openly loathes "bling rap" ("Emcee Murdah") and who harks back to rap's golden era on cuts like "B-Boy Stance," a James Brown breakbeat-fuelled number. However, like Andre 3000 and his "Hey Ya" pop affectations, K-os's strongest material might be the tunes that are the least hip-hop-inspired. Between the foot-tappin', finger-snappin' "Crabbuckit" (with a rhythmic backdrop that mimics Ray Charles's "Hit the Road Jack"), the reggae-pop mix of "Crucial," and the wily Michael Jackson impersonation of "Man I Used to Be," the wide array of musical reference points show rap's sonic possibilities. The ultramodern blend of frenzied turntable scratches and classical strings on "The Love Song" is reason enough to cop this. --Dalton Higgins

America . . . we have a problem........2007-05-02

Just north of the U.S. border is a little piece of magic called Canada. It's a place many of us here in the States never bother to think about. That must be why we are missing out on so much that Canada has to offer. The best thing Canada has to offer (besides Mellyssa Ford, Deborah Cox and Tamia) is the music of k-os.

He is, hands down, one of the most talented artists making music today. His second album, "Joyful Rebellion", should be looked at as "Exhibit B", with his first, "Exit", being "Exhibit A". From front to back, "Joyful Rebellion" is an overall enjoyable listen. k-os' musical style ranges from rock to rap, to soul and back. The best part about it is that he's actually very good! You need this in your life.

Lightning strikes twice.......2007-03-30

With Joyful Rebellion, K-Os has unleashed another near flawless album. The production on Joyful Rebellion is a slight improvement over K-Os's previous album, Exit, without sounding overproduced. My favorite tracks are Emcee Murdah, Crabbuckit, The Love Song, and Dirty Water. Do yourself a favor and pick up this album as soon as possible. But be forewarned: You won't look at rap music the same anymore!

talented hip hop artist for once.......2006-08-05

k-os was always keeping it real. And when I first heard man I used to be I also thought of michael jackson(and marvin gaye) and thought I was the only one but I guess I wasn't after all. It's an awesome song and whenever it's on the radio we turn it up real loud. Keep doing your thing k-os Canada loves you!

Awesome!!!! 4 and half stars.......2006-05-30

When I heard Man I Used To Be and Crabbuckit on the radio I liked them a lot so I figured I would buy the album and find out just how good K-OS was. When I first listened to the album I was disappointed because it was not what I expected, but I figured I would give it a chance and play it through a couple times. Three or four reruns later I couldn't play it enough. And from then on my addiction to the K-OS and his Joyful Rebellion just kept on growing.

K-OS is a breath of fresh air from the more 'popular' hip-hop artists. Distancing himself from the obscene lyrics and the 'gangsta' rapper image K-OS shows what being emcee is all about. Its not about having fancy cars, beautiful girls and dying in a blazing gunfight, its about making good music. And thats exactly what K-OS does without any of the ego stroking or negative stereotypes.

There are some songs which are little weak such as One Blood and Hallelujah but otherwise K-OS's lineup in Joyful Rebellion is air tight. Dirty Water, the product of his colusion with Sam Roberts (another great Canadian artist) is excellent. Other tracks that are exceptional are B-Boy Stance, Neutroniks, Emcee Murdah and Crucial.

close, but...........2006-04-28

K-Os is unbelievably talented. There is no single bad song in Joyful rebellion. There are straight up hip hop songs and soulful ballads like "superstar". This album is lyrically and musically perfect but the problem is that it has no real depth. I feel like all the songs could be about anything. He lyrically and musically surpasses Mos Def but his words are pop song words and don't have the depth of true hip hop liek Mos Def has. Still, overall, I think this is an album you have to have. I also think we can expect better from K-Os in the future. Oh, and by the way, for all the reviewers comparing K-Os to Wyclef: K-Os makes Wyclef look like a nursery school rapper.

Union Underground's debut album is a bit of a mixed bag. Though they come from the industrial end of heavy metal, they're at their best when they incorporate the back-to-basics Southern grind of Monster Magnet and White Zombie on excellent tracks such as "Turn Me on 'Mr. Deadman'" and "South Texas Deathride." The amped-up spirit of grunge-rockers Alice in Chains loom large over "Killing the Fly" and "Revolution Man." Unfortunately, "Until You Crack" is fairly predictable, while "Trip" boasts ridiculous lyrics ("I'm a junkie / God is gay"). --Robert Burrow

One of my favorite albums over time.......2007-07-06

I first bought this album sometime in middle school, [...] I believe. I was in the midst of a big Powerman 5000, Monster Magnet, etc., kick, and they had come up through some recommendation. I bought it then, which was around 8 years ago, and lost it sometime in college. I recently repurchased it, and it was as excellent as I remember. It's one of the only albums I can sit down at any point in time, and listen to. It's also great music to just turn on and let play while doing other stuff. The first two tracks took a little while to get into, but tracks like Revolution Man and Bitter have always been favorites of mine. It's really unfortunate despite the rumors, that they never put out another album, as I think they would have only grown better. As is, for a first and only album, it's fantastic, and a great listen any time.

great listen over the years.......2006-12-02

even though there was unfortunately no follow up to this album, i must say even after five years of owning it, it never got old. the songs are short and sweet enough that the cd invites you to listen to it in its entirety. in this day and age, i only buy cd's from artists i really respect and i would buy this album time and time again if i had to.

A Promising Band That Never Filled It's Potential.......2006-07-21

The Union Underground have not been heard of as much since their appearance on Ozzfest 2001. Even though on Ozzfest they proclaimed to release a new cd and played one of the tracks on the "soon to be released" CD, that was never actually released. This CD was definitely good but apparently the band didn't really pursue to follow up too much, which could be due to many various reasons. It has been too long for them to expect their name to do much for them as the time in which they came out is long since gone. My personal opinion is that it is a mix of southern rock(Pantera) with a nu metal(Slipknot) edge and then a bit of an industrial(Nine Inch Nails) feel to it. It is definitely worth a listen, or even worth buying, but don't expect any strong follow up. . . ever.

One Of The Overall CDs I Own.......2006-04-15

Every once and awhile i find a CD that is great. This is one of them. I really started listening to UU at the end of 2005. I bought the cd at a local music store because it was really hard to find in other bigname stores. I was introduced to UU when i was watching Monday Night Raw, A wrestling program. I heard the song and immediatly downloaded it from iTunes. Then like other band if i liek a song ill buy their cds. This is one of those CDS that is purly excellent. You know.... the cds when u fall in love with EVERY DAM SONG ON IT!
I only know of a few other cds in my eye that has only good songs.

Nevermind-Nirvana
Americana-Offspring
Every Six Seconds-Saliva
Sinner and Desensitized-Drowning Pool

My Favorite songs on this cd are "Revolution Man" (download the video off iTunes it rocks)"Trip With Jesus", my favorite song on the CD, and "South Texas Deathride".(i reconmend get "Ozzfest 2001 2nd Millenium" and "Live...One Nation Underground" to hear great live versions of the song.

Incredible Sound!.......2006-03-24

This is one of the best "old" albums I've bought in quite some time. It's been a strange year for me, as far as my tastes in music. I've been continually frustrated with the selection in music stores, and I am growing EXCEPTIONALLY upset with the radio cuts of what they consider "good" rock. Therefore, I've been scanning Amazon's collection and looking for ANYTHING that MIGHT be good between 1989 - 1997.

I got REALLY lucky when I ran across this band.

I can compare them to so many other bands, but they only seem to adopt certain qualities from each, so in a sense, they're a hybrid of originality. Take the frontman's voice. It reminds me at most times of Layne Staley (RIP), but at other times, it borders a Manson-esque/Rob Zombie feel. The guitars are tight, and while the riffs aren't necessarily all original, the twist of electronica gives each song a totally new appeal. The percussion section isn't anything that struck me as amazing, but this is good; it somehow meshes well within the song. (Most industrial-flavored bands-at least to me-have drums that stand out a little bit too much, making it easier to identify flaws or awkward musicianship).

What makes this album stand out is the INTENSITY each member puts into each song. I know I could be cyber-hanged for saying this, but I think they are BETTER than PM5K (whom I love, by the way). There seems to be a lot more vocal flexibility...the frontman ranges between creepy, growly whispers to throaty, infectious screams, to edgy anti-pop vocals (probably bad wording...think of Rob Zombie when he's carrying tunes instead of screaming or whispering). That's the best analogy I can think of at the moment.

As far as I'm concerned, there's not a bad song on the album, but there ARE standouts. Obviously, the ferocity displayed in "South Texas Death Ride" and "Turn Me On, Mr. Deadman" are immediate moshpit starters. "Killing the Fly" slows down the pace just a little, until the prechorus storms in with the anthemic: "I wanna break you!...". And personally, I don't care what the Amazon.com editor says. "Trip with Jesus" is THE best song on the album. Listen to it ONCE...LOUDLY. I guarantee you, you will find more climaxes in this song than any industrial band out there today...and this includes most Nine Inch Nails tracks.

Angry, bitter, fast-paced, and so much fun. I wish they had more albums out...I would definitely buy them.

Even if you still believe this review is questionable (and I guarantee, if you like Rob Zombie or PM5K, you'll love this stuff), it's really cheap, so what have you got to lose? Seriously...pick this UP!!!

My intro. to Suicidal Tendencies.......2005-05-13

As my title says, this was the first Suicidal Tendencies album I got. I expected it to sound punky, as everyone says they're so good a punk band. I was surprised, and NOT the bad kind! This album is straight forward metal. The first two albums had a punk influence, but HCILTWICEST and everything afterwards was a metal album. This is one of the best albums of the 90's. Mike Muir's vocals are top-notch here. Rob Trujillo's bass is great, the guitars from Mike Clark and the other guitarist (forgot his name...sorry!) are great, as are the drums. The album starts out with "Cant' Stop". NO, not the Red Hot Chilli Peppers song! It's one of the longer songs, but it's a great start to this great album. The next songs, "Accept My Sacrifice" and "Nobody Hears", are my favorite songs on this album. I like all the songs on this album, but the above three are my favorites. Recommended if you like metal, speed metal, and Suicidal Tendencies.

It contains one of the most mesmerizing songs ever!!!.......2005-03-09

I am 36 and have been listening to hard rock/metal since I was only nine. I own more than 1,500 hard rock/metal CDs. I am not bragging here, but rather trying to put things into perspective when talking about this album.

This whole album is incredible. It's easily ST's best, but you got to let it grow on you for a while. This CD contains ST's best song ever, and one of my top ten songs of all time: "Asleep at the Wheel". I probably have listened to that song more than 1,000,000 times since this CD came out, and I still close my eyes and sing it out loud EVERY SINGLE TIME!!! It's a very original song, impossible to describe with words. It's magical, it's mesmerizing (By the way, you may skip the first two minutes of the song since they are very forgettable and have actually a different name - "I Wasn't Meant to Feel This").

Another great song is "Monopoly of Sorrow", especially after the 3:37 mark. This has to be one of the best song endings that I have ever herad. That combination of fast pace acoustic and electric guitars is simply top notch.

Anyway, get this CD and let it grow on you. You will not regret it.

Hard rock can be art.......2005-02-25

When I bought this album I didnt get what I thought I was getting into. For awhile I was highly dissappointed listening to it, and to be honest I didnt like it to much. I gave 'The Art of Rebellion' some time though, and it grew on me. The lyrics can be a bit corny and annoying some of the time though, and that brings it down a half point - from a perfect five to a 4.5. Thats still really great, and perfect albums that truly warrent five stars are really far in between for me though. For anyone who wants an album they can listen to years for now (unlike those whiny emo bands who will be gone after the fad wears off), then pick up this album. You cant stop the run away emotions in me, you know... Never mind. Buy the album and you will know what I'm talking about.

I agree--best ST album and last good one.......2005-01-19

I love this disk,I am a huge fan and like all there stuff up to this cd.after that it went pretty down hill.
every song grabs you from start to end.
a lot of people did not think it was hard enough,but it is and it has some real musical substance.i say buy it you wont be sorry. I would give more stars if I could.

A good comeback after "Lights".......2004-04-07

This album is more like "Lights" than "How Will I Laugh" in it's song writing style but done way better. The tunes are good, not dry like "Lights" and the album feels well-produced. You'll find the songs high in content and quality but not that fast or thrashy. This is NOTHING like early S.T.'s but it is a good album nonetheless. I regard this as Suicidal's last good album. Trust me, after this, it's completely downhill in the worst way.

Review.......2007-01-16

Anthems Of Rebellion is indeed a great album with crushing guitars, excellent rhythms, a great yet unique vocalist, and astounding solos and riffs off of some of the songs off the album. The solo off of the song Silent Wars is so amazing, it's the sole solo that launchs you into the album and helps make the album sound so good. We Will Rise also does the same job beautifully and brutally, exactly how melodic death metal should be. Even more there's a lot of unique moments off the album like the technoish styled guitars off of the song Instinct, the opera like ending off the song Exist To Exit, an accoustic interlude called Marching On A Dead End Road which is an INSTANT highlight, the strange Anthem interlude, and Angela's unique vocals off of Dehumanization which is the only song is Arch Enemy's catalogue that you can hear these mysterious vocals. The lyrics off of the album are very cool also. For me Dehumanization, End Of The Line, and Instinct are the lyrical highlights off the album. "Welcome to the circus, leave your brain outside, sit back, relax, as we feed you lies" - End Of The Line <
Favorites: Silent Wars, We Will Rise, Leader Of The Rats (amazing rhythms off this song), Marching On A Dead End Road, Dehumanization, and Saints And Sinners

Least Favorites: Instinct, End Of The Line, and Dead Eyes See No Future (being my least favorite one). Don't be fooled though as ALL of the songs are amazing to my ears.

Recommended for a melodic metal fan.

lacking..........2006-11-22

when you listen to an arch enemy record, you exspect melody and complexity. this lacks both. it has a few good moments but it could have been way better. i did really like the clean vox. its some of their best, thrown in with some of their worst. i think they corrected this problem with doomsday machine, which was really good. if you are just starting to listen to arch enemy, buy wages of sin or stigmata. this one is for diehards only.

Arch Enemy delivers........2006-10-06

Usually when a singer is replaced, it's bad news, except in the case of AC/DC, Iron Maiden (when they switched to Dickinson, not that other loser), and Arch Enemy. So if you have any reservations about a female vocalist in a metal band, you can relax.

In fact, what we have here is a top-notch metal album with clever producing (Andy Sneap is friggin' brilliant), great musicianship, and very memorable songs. One song after another is, as far as I'm concerned, a classic. Among your Lamb of God, Avenged Sevenfold, In Flames, Killswitch Engage, Trivium drek Arch Enemy really sets themselves apart.

ANGELA RULES.......2006-06-02

I love Arch Enemy so much. Melodic Death Metal is so much better than the "normal" death metal! CRUSH 'EM!!!

I've Grown To Like This Much More + An Apology.......2006-05-18

Since I'm not allowed to change my star ratings while editing a review, I'd like to say to say that depending on the day, this is a 4 or 5 star album. Since I reviewed this CD last May of June (I can't remember) I've grown to appreciate Arch Enemy's new material much more. In fact, I'll go as far as to say I like it more than the original Arch Enemy (frontman: Johan Liima). I'll say it again, Arch Enemy has been blessed with some of the greatest musicians on the planet (not just for metal). I recently heard that Michael's brother Christopher has left the band and is teaching music lesson's for the time being. Great bass playing and very good percussion. I went to go and see Arch Enemy in concert and they're amazing. One of the best shows I've ever seen. Angela Gossow really knows how to put on a show and captivate an audience. I don't like this particular album as much as Wages of Sin or Doomsday Machine but it is packed with solid tracks. Very good.
I recently read a comment posted by a Mr.Ty Arthur who "confronted" me about some of the sexist comments in my previous review of this CD. If anyone was offended by them, I apologize. I would like to thank Mr. Arthur for calling me on my absolute stupidity. I couldn't have more respect for Angela Gossow. She is a true innovator.
Lastly I'd like to say buy any of Arch Enemy's albums, personally this isn't my favorite but it is very good none-the-less.

Strong Songs: We Will Rise, Dead Eyes See No Future (good EP as well), Instinct, Dehumanization (cool intro, good song), Saints & Sinners

Not So Strong: Personally I didn't like Silent Wars that much, plus of the 13 songs, 4 are under 2:15...just a thought

I still dig it, though maybe not as much as I used to..........2007-07-29

This was one of my first Zappa albums, and I still play it from time to time. It's not as good as some of the later albums I picked up, but it's still worthwhile. There is plenty here to please all Zappa fans, such as the amazing guitar work on Easy Meat (and Vinnie Colauita's amazing drumming), and there are some excellent remakes of earlier songs. The song Love of My Life from Ruben and the Jets is much better on this album, with a great Zappa vocal and Bob Harris's excellent falsetto vocals. Tell Me You Love Me is more dynamic than the Chunga's Revenge version. I may be one of the few people who likes the new version of Brown Shoes Don't Make It. I think it's better than the original. I don't like Peaches III at all, even when I first picked up the album (I hadn't heard the original version at that time). Now You See It, Now You Don't is an excellent Zappa instrumental (despite a rather lame title). Now, there is average/mediocre material here. The "songs" Panty Rap and Dance Contest are really just Zappa sounding like a sleazy carnival/strip show hawker while the band just doodles (even though there's a brief drum breakout by Vinnie on Panty Rap). Some of the lyrics are very smug, like on The Blue Light, where Zappa obsesses about ugly, waxy cheese and lame Shakey's customers. It sounds almost Gen Xish, "ironic", and that type of thinking I've always hated. But on the flip side, the title song is still good today. Zappa goes on about the demise of the music business (I love the line "and pray that the business don't collapse"), which is still going on today. This is still a good album, even though I don't like it as much as I used to.

This 1981 album has old FZ classics but they are all performed completely different from their originals.

"Peaches III" is Peaches En Regalia played marvelously on electric guitar.

"I ain't got no heart" is played at a very fast speed as opposed to the original downbeat version on "Freak Out" and you can hear Zappa sing it this time...finally!

You get Zappa also singing "Tell me you love me" instead of Flo & Eddie (a BIG PLUS to the fans who detest Flo & Eddie).

Zappa also sings "Love of my life" instead of the original Ray Collins version from "Ruben & The Jets."

All of these versions may be inferior or superior to the originals...that is not the point. The point is that they are all done very differently than the originals and, to some, sound like totally new songs.

The new delights include: "Fine Girl" - a tribute to the hard-working women of the past.

"Easy meat" has an awesome keyboard solo performed by the talented Thomas "Tommy" Mars.

"For the young sophisticate" makes its premiere here but it is not as good as the version found on the "Lather" album.

"The Blue Light" is a half-sung half-spoken MELT-DOWN track similar to "The Dangerous Kitchen" but not as good.

"Pick Me, I'm Clean" is NOT really about a groupie of the band but about an interracial relationship involving a woman who is just learning to speak English. This song also examines the different sexual preferences of the band (going "bare back" is gay; going "wet-back" is dating a mexican; going "way back" is dating older women; "should get back" is not dating anyone).

The previous song and the blues-influenced "Bambbozled by love" perfectly capture the activity and attitude of polar-opposite sexual relationships.

This album is not a disappointment.

Easily among Zappa's worst efforts.......2005-12-09

The most disposable and forgettable of Zappa's efforts. Even the recycled material from earlier - and much better albums - comes off very weakly against even weaker new material. Don't bother.

Weak.......2005-06-09

You see, all reviews on this page are positive, but I gotta warn you: this album isn't generally very high-rated among Zappa fans! It sounds a little bit messy (especially "Brown Shoes Don't Make It" - really horrible version of that song), synths are horrible-sounding , there is a lot of filler (spoken tracks or some boring melodies like Easy Meat or Fine Girl), and drummer Vinnie Colaiuta is nowhere as great as on Joe's Garage or Shut Up and Play... Yes, there are a few good (not great) songs - for example the title track, one of a few really tight songs here, but most of this album sounds like an half-mess or very minimalistic on Zappa standards. And I also could live without new versions of some oldies - they're mostly OK, but originals are better, or MUCH better (Peaches III, Brown Shoes).

Flawless.......2004-07-04

This record includes some of my favorite Zappa pieces played by a band that is anything but under-rehearsed. The production is clear and rich. Vinnie Caliauta's playing is electric and drives these big bands with power and precision. He shows us why Zappa considered him the best drummer he ever worked with (and Zappa worked with some damned fine drummers.)

I enjoy most era's and aspects of Frank's music, but I have a special appreciation for some of the live recordings from this period through the eighties. (Granted, some of them are sterile and some are down-right goofy. This is not one of those.) Let's not forget that Zappa's music is difficult and that he was a very demanding band leader. As his career progressed, he had his pick of more and better musicians who were capable of things that former band memebers just could not do.
