If Curl Up and Die teach their listener anything with their music, it’s that there is/was such a thing as a good, consistent, metalcore band. For over five years Curl Up and Die had been putting out strong, guitar-heavy music, and it all culminated with the 2005 release of The One Above All, the End of All That Is. While the vocals have remained unchanged, as well as the ridiculous song titles, which they were doing before it became “kewl” (see: “Blood Mosh Hips Hair Lips Pills Fuck Death”), The One Above All is definitely a reflection of a less aggressive, decelerated Curl Up and Die.

oh but the artwork for this cd rocks my face. Simply amazing!!! i like how someone discounts a label by providing another one. ugh. oh definitely not metalcore. oh no. no, i'd rather classify it as "sensitive-yet-intense-hard-sounding-ear-pinching-not-as-good-mus icmanship-but-still-okay-core." Yeah, I'm white. And I like some hip hop. But Dead Prez have idiotic lyrics. Certainly nowhere near the same league as MDC. MDC is one of the reasons people associate Low-fi with bad music. In a battle of anything, Dead Prez beats DMC. "fuck this band. i used to live in vegas, fuck the shitty scene there.. this band, the killers, panic at the disco, escape the fate?! and not to mention all the shitty local bands" Will Yeah... MDC is just mediocre compared to Dead Prez? Oh, I forgot, you had to pretend to actually enjoy their nonsensical bullship "hip hop" so that people wouldn't notice you're a middle class whitey. comment below......how can you put this band into the same scene as panic at the disco and the killers? fuck this band. i used to live in vegas, fuck the shitty scene there.. this band, the killers, panic at the disco, escape the fate?! and not to mention all the shitty local bands What a great album cover! I haven't listened to these guys in years, but that artwork makes me want to check this one out your list sucks, b.t.w. good death/dying/murder bands This was one of the few underappreciated albums of last year. I wasn't even a fan of CUAD until I heard The One Above All.... It's too bad they broken up because they could've reshapen the hardcore scene the way Snapcase did. I'm hoping since CUAD never played a final show they might be playing some more regular shows around here. Probably just wishful thinking though. I never thought the albums quite lived up to the live show but everything they released is great. This was the first album by these guys which has songs i don't really care to listen to. I feel like half the songs are great and the other half sub-par. I still like the eps best. This band is my favorite modern hardcore band. This cd was definately a departure from "Unfortunately..." but still awesome in it's own right. this getting only a seven is a crime against humanity them and old in flames are the few metalish bands i like. yea, definitely not metalcore, and while i don't think it's their best work, it's hard to judge the albums since they're all so different from one another. this band got progressively more streamlined as they went along, so it's kinda like a different band. i dunno. i still think unfortunately we're not robots is the best album (or EP) they ever did. umm... i definitely wouldn't call this "metalcore". hence why you don't realize that this is among their best material. |
