In Exile [Digipak] - Noblesse Oblige

Advantages: Some catchy songs. Good quality of tracks.
Disadvantages: A few weaker tracks.

...Formed in 1992, Strung Out is one of Southern California?s longest running punk bands and having been one of Fat Wreck Chord?s first signings they are continually going from strength to strength. Consisting of Jason (vocals), Jordan (drums), Rob (guitar), Jake (guitar) and Chris (bass), Exile in Oblivion is Strung Out?s best effort to date and follows on splendidly from the 2002 release An American Paradox. This time round the album is more polished than previous releases, with quality running almost throughout. Always lyrically impeccable, Strung Out have, in Exile in Oblivion, provided nothing to detract from this great compliment. Mention of Lucifer and vampires adds a dark and meaningful edge to what is essentially melodic punk with a twist and explores the band?s understanding of mystery within the complex reality...

...I feel I should warn you, I have written a little about the series first in order to introduce each book so you can read them independently it feels like cheating but I promise its well intended! The Exiles are an offshoot of the original Age of Apocalypse story in the X-men comics. In essence it is similar to a science fiction TV show from years ago called Sliders, it has a little Quantum Leap and a touch of Marvels classic What If series (without the Watcher) Each of the original characters in the series are former X-Men, but from different universes. With a multi-verse of characters to select the headcount kill throughout the series is brutal, and the majority of the characters do not survive without some major trauma. With lots of independent stories that rarely depend on the other X titles, Exiles is a great standalone... Read review
