As Silence Falls - As Silence Falls

Advantages: Just brilliant 100%
Disadvantages: They have too many great songs to fit all of them on one album.

...straight into "Kingdom for a heart" also performed flawlessly. Im sure somewhere he says: "If I only had a Hard-on" So anyway, it goes into "Sings in Silence" and the crowd are stunned by its brilliance apart from one guy who screams in anticipation. "False News Travells Fast" is next and its a very fast song but they still pull it off amazingly well. Practically no rest for the band and it goes right into "last drop falls" which is fantastic (im running out of words to describe their brilliance). "Respect the wilderness" is next, lots of crowd chanting and you can imagine everyone bouncing up and down in the crowd. I dont know how they do it without a break, just one word in finish and some piano tinkling takes you into "Fullmoon" with a funky bass line i never heard before over the intro. They go a bit crazy at the end with a big... Read review

Advantages: Beautifull songs!
Disadvantages: Not much.

..."Silence Becomes It" was the first album of the two that Silence4 made. It was the greatest success in Portugal, back in 1998, reaching a fifth platinum prize, for sales over 250,000 records! And a enormous breakthrough, once it was the first portuguese band reaching a mass success singing in english. Its songs are simple, naïve and at the same time perfect. This is an album where the strings of the acoustic guitar rule over every other instrument.

"Borrow" was the first hit in that '98 summer, then came the outstanding cover of Erasure's "Little Respect", "Angel Song"and "Old Letters". Silence4... Read review

Advantages: One of the most original bands you will hear.
Disadvantages: Not for your average metal fan.

...For those of you unfamiliar with London band Miocene's sound, it is possibly difficult to imagine such a wonderful hybrid of drum n bass, prog, unabashed metal and ambient influences. Rewind back to 2000. Miocene released their debut EP 'Refining The Theory' , a huge success with critics and fans alike. This led to tours with Brit-rock's darlings of the time - Lost Prophets, Hundred Reasons and One Minute Silence. Followed up by the 2002 release 'Cellular Memory', a more introspective exploration of their influences that the band themselves modestly declared to 'suck'; the band then seemingly disappeared. Til now. The Fall was the first track I had the pleasure of hearing and it is simply amazing. It is probably a good start for someone new to Miocene - it flows naturally, broken up into phrases throughout which Ben's vocals... Read review
