Just in time just when i would have liked it. Couldn't be more happy with my purchase. Great job guys
I figured I would be the 1st to review Rest Inside the Flames....first things first,this cd follows in the same footsteps as A Snow Capped Romance(which is a good thing) and somehow these guys always manage to impress me. 36 Crazyfists can walk that fine line between screaming and melody with the best of them. Too bad Roadrunner dropped them(at least in the states) but I still look forward to future music from these guys.
Standout tracks include: I'll go Until my Heart Stops, Between the Anchor and the Air, and Elysium(feat. Howard Jones of Killswitch Engage)
If you get the chance, you should definitely pick this cd up.
I bought "Rest Inside The Flames" this last weekend, and to be honest I had huge expectations for this album. "A Snow Capped Romance" is simply amazing, and that would be a hard effort to match but, 36 Crazyfists surpass expectations. Brock's voice has certainly matured a great deal and sounds great. This album is definitely their best thus far, and one of the best releases of 2006 if not the best.
1. I'll Go Until My Heart Stops - The first single off the album, this song is a decent song but is the weakest point on the album.***1/2/5
2. Felt Through A Phone Line - Great song, awesome lyrics and really nice drum work. *****/5
3. On Any Given Night - Definitely sounds like a song that could have easily been on "A Snow Capped Romance" great song. *****/5
4. Elysium - Features Howard Jones of Killswitch Engage and is definitely an awesome metal song. I usually don't care for collaborations of vocalists but Howard and Brock's sound flows so well together. One of my favorites on the album. Great Guitar work. *****/5
5. The Great Decent - This song goes from soft to heavy quickly and in 36 CF fashion. Good song. ****/5
6. Midnight Swim - Another favorite off of the album, I love the lyrics. Awesome vocal work, Brock showcases that his vocals have matured a great deal since "Bitterness The Star". *****/5
7. Aurora - Sounds like something Killswitch Engage may have collaborated on (musically anyhow). Another great song, the guitar riffs will be stuck in your head for days. *****/5
8. Will Pull This In By Hand - Closest 36 CF gets to sounding like "Bitterness The Star". Again, great drum work here. *****/5
9. We Cannot Deny - Another great song, with great vocal work. *****/5
10. Between The Anchor And The Air - Another favorite. I love the guitar work on this song. *****/5
11. The City Ignites - A 36 CF acoustic song?? That's right..and it is awesome! Lyrics are the same as Midnight but that doesn't take away anything from this song another favorite. *****/5
Basically, records don't get much better than this. The trend for these guys seems to be to outdo the previous effort, which is proof here. I will be looking forward to the next release but I'm not sure if this album will be leaving my cd player by that time.
This album has placed 36 with the coveted title of "My favorite band that still puts out CDs," with Pantera being "My favorite band that no longer puts out CDs." It was neck and neck with KSE but with KSE's not so great release and 36's 3rd major release that rocks without question there is no longer any doubt. Let the news ring out from the mountaintops and woodland forests, this album, nay this band is the best thing currently producing new music. If you buy this album you will not regret it, unless you suck.
