Billy Talent - Billy Talent

...alternative bands a good name. Billy Talent has in now way a sound of any other band. Ok, what i liked about this album was the fact the it is high energy. As a listener you will feed off of the energy of this band. Also, if you own a PC put the cd in and it has video of the band and thier concerts, giving the listener a little visual. A little bit of getting to know the band before listening will really make you enjoy the fast pace of the songs. ...
...off the cd. Listening to Billy Talent for the first time, this is the song that got me hooked. If you want a loud song to play in your car, to intensionally tick off the entire nieghbourhood, this is the song for you. Starting off with a solid guitar riff, then in comes the symbols from the drums, and the base line. This song is well done. Living In The Shadows (3:15) Keeping with the pace from the first song, this high energy song has a great ...

...River Below 8 - Standing In The Rain 9 - Cut The Curtains 10 - Prisoners of Today 11 - Nothing To Lose 12 - Voices of Violence I fell in love with this album the first time i heard it, almost every song is single worthy! I didn't expect to enjoy this at all, but after being persuaded to listen to it thoroughly enjoyed it. Although some people find Ben Kowalewicz's (lead singer) voice annoying, I find it gives the music that edge that so many ...

Review of Billy Talent - Billy Talent

Billy Talent are a 4-piece Canadian, pop-punk band. The music they play is fast and energetic and this is their self-titled debut album. Bands who they are most like would include bands such as The Hives, especially material from their new album "Tyrranasaurus Hives", so if your fed up with Howlin' Pelle Almquist, this could be a good alternative. The album opens with "This is how it goes" and is one of the best tracks on the album and sets the ...
...is one of the best. Billy Talent's best songs tend to some when they play faster songs, with more energy. Their slower songs tend to bring out the singer's annoying accent and this drags the songs down. The singer has a very good screaming voice and this is used well in combination with backing vocals from the guitarist and bassist. Overall a very good debut album, and also a very good live band. ...

Review of Billy Talent - Billy Talent

This album is - in my opinion - the greatest punk album ever made. I bought this album around three months ago and now I listen to it all the way through at least once a day on the bus (most days once on the way to college, and once on the way home - sometimes more). You might think I'm an obsessive fanatic. But buy the album for yourself and you will realise just how right I am. Every song on this album is addictive, energetic and will leave you ...

Review of Billy Talent - Billy Talent

...on their own, you'd expect Billy Talent to be your average emo/screamo band. His high-pitched screams fill the album with his heartfelt lyrics. But vocals are nothing without a good backing, and that's what Billy Talent excel in also. Ian D'Sa has gone against the average power chord structured riffs that are seen in most pop-punk at the moment and has used his own experience from when Billy Talent were more funky and known as "Pezz". With this he ...
...they become a bit similar. Stand Out Tracks- This Is How It Goes, Try Honesty, Line & Sinker, RIver Below, Nothing To Lose The only real weak song is Lies, which I personally don't like. It's the rythm of it which puts me off, however many fans love it. ...
