Customer Rating:      Summary: Blows you away Comment: Every single song is carefully crafted with lyrics that are mindblowing.I have listened to this album like an unbelievable amount of times. Your gaurdian angel is absolutely amazing.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Different than expected, but still wonderful!! Comment: When I first heard Face Down on the radio I thought that these guys would be another punk/pop band but after hearing the cd I was pleasantly surprised. This album not only covered punk, but also pop, rock, and screamo. VERY GOOD STUFF!!!!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Would be good except for the screaming Comment: I heard some of their songs on the radio and thought this album would be good. It would be, if half the songs didn't have this low, gutteral screaming in them. I just couldn't listen. I don't think I've listened to the entire album all the way through.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Harder than expected, but wonderful Comment: This is a great album. It was harder than I expected. I had only heard "Face Down" when I bought it, and if you buy it you should expect a sound closer to hard rock. That's not a problem for me. I am seeing the word "screamo" applied to it online and that sounds like a pretty good description - emo-ish but with more electric guitars and some screaming.
This album really hit the "sweet spot" for me between metal and pop that other bands (Fall Out Boy, the Almost, etc.) have not found. My wife loves it even more than I do.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Who am I reviewing again? Comment: After listening to this disc I thought that Hoobas..., er Three Days Gr..., er who am I reviewing again? While there are a couple catchy songs (Face Down, Damn Regret) I just couldn't find a single thing that The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus offers, at least on their first disc, that's different than the dozens other bands with an emo/faux metal sound with the occasional misplaced grunting/screaming. The definitely have potential but I bought this at the same time as Coheed and Cambria's new disc and Don't Fake It is now collecting dust while No World For Tomorrow is stuck in my head.
And to top it off, they had a guest appearance on The Hills. Need I say more?
