How Can Anything Be So Little Any More - Joan Of Arc

Advantages: Great voice, great style, great songs
Disadvantages: A bit whiny

...in the face, how quickly I was replaced Are you thinking of me when you f*** her Cause the love that you gave that we made wasn;t able for you to be open wide, no And every time you speak her name Does she know how you told me you'd hold me Until you died, til you died But you're still alive Cause the joke that you laid in the bed that was me And I'm not gonna fade As soon as you close your eyes and you know it And every time I scratch my nails down someone else's back I hope you feel it...well can you feel it ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ‘Perfect’ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If ‘You Oughta Know’ was raw hatred and bitterness with little to mask it, ‘Perfect’ if anything is even more vicious because the bile is hidden and masked by the gentle, almost sweet delivery and beauty of the music, mainly...

Advantages: An Excellent and Interesting album that's a Classic in its Genre.
Disadvantages: It might be a Slow-Burner for some.

.... Probably my favourite track of the album and it is definitely one of the more easily accessible songs. **ni9e** This is where we find Simon entertaining the Cylon that introduced 'Star damage'. Not just in any fashion, oh no, he generates an almost alien sounding drum fest of sampled madness and not content with that, apparently invites a friend in the semblance of Gemma from Imogen (ex-Chasm). It is here they create a curious hors d'oeuvre for the next track. **yellow fever** For me this shows the second glimpse of Tool influence on this album.

Advantages: It rocks, overdosis of great guitarplay.
Disadvantages: 3/11 tracks are not that good, which leaves 8 songs.

..., sort of Iron Maiden rip off, with their heroic texts. The 2 minute intro, the other instruments and the guitar are all great, but it just does not make up for what I think is about the lamest text they ever wrote? In the background its okay, but you feel stupid singing along, its like a childrens song with those lyrics. So as a track you actually listen to I can not do anything else then rate it low. 'Hey, hey, do the Zombie, Zombie Stomp Hey, hey, do the Zombie Stomp Hey, hey, do the Zombie Stomp Hey, hey, do the Zombie Stomp Hey, hey, do the Zombie Stomp' Need I say more? Track 10. ~ 'A.V.H.' ~ 4:13 ~ 8/10 Calm snareplucking, I like how this song starts off. And as you expect, but it still rocks, the music starts, and personally I find the way the music flows really cool. The lyrics are alright, the song just flows on... Read review
