Buried In The Sound Review ofCoral Fang [PA] - Distillers (The)by
CandySuccubus
Advantages: Brody's voice, excellent lyrics, upbeat tracks. Disadvantages: A bit too edgy for some.
...this wasn't one of them. Coral fang hits the spot where most punk bands dare venture into. It brings out a new sound which gives them their own limelight.
This is the third distillers album and it brings across their feel and the energy they put into their songs. Usually when their songs are recorded you don't get as much as you would live, but this exceeds expectation. As always there is room for improvement, but with an album like this there's ...

Advantages: an amzing album packed full of new styles and sounds Disadvantages: Brody's voice maybe a bit to new for old punk rockers.
...now with there third album, Coral Fang (2003) is amazing. The Distillers are getting more and more publicity ,so set the trend because they're going to get much bigger. With Brody's unique vocals burning throughout the entire album.
Track List:
1) DRAIN THE BLOOD
This song makes the album start with a bang. This song is racy and upbeat. With soft introduction which slams into the racy chorus featuring lyrics like:
"I never met a pearl quite ...

Advantages: just excellent rythym, upbeat all the way through Disadvantages: last song is poor
...time of their third album Coral Fang the whole band albeit Brody the lead singer had left and been replaced. In my opinion this has been the distiller's best line up with the drummer gaining much credit. However after the release of coral fang the drummer, who I believe a key part to the success The Distiller's fame left. Now about the album, I purchased this album around 4 years ago. Even though I have owned this album for so long I still find it ...

...sinks down in…”- The Distillers, Coral Fang (2003)
BASIC BAND HISTORY:
Started by Brody Dalle at age 17, The Distillers were at the time an all girl band, playing fast angry punk music to display their anger at society and culture, hence their first album ‘The Distillers’ (2000) was born.
By the time their second album, the hugely popular ‘Sing Sing Death House’ was out in 2002, some of the band members had ...

Advantages: More of a mainstream sound without losing their edge Disadvantages: The last track
Brody Dalle brings her Distiller boys along for the outing of their third album, ‘Coral Fang’, which sees a departure from their previous hardcore punk-rock style.
Opening track and breakthrough single ‘Drain the Blood’ kicks of the album in great style, with catchy guitar riffs complementing brody’s deep vocals throughout. ‘Dismantle Me’ continues in a similar vein, and is another highly catchy track, followed by ‘Die on a Rope’, a track which ...

Advantages: good lyrics good songs, still brody but... Disadvantages: its not the hardcore punk we know and love.
This is the thrid album for the distillers and the first for a major record label. I think this might explain why the music has gone for a more catchy mainstream feel to bulk up the sales numbers. Fronted by Brody Dalle, australian born and damn right GORGEOUS!!! her voice is heaven and this album does allow for more of that to come across than in past albums. A much softer album but you can still imagine writhing punk masses so theres still hope.
This ...

The third Distillers' album does not disappoint. It goes off on a slightly different route to the previous albums, but I personally like this album the most.
The Distillers have such an original sound compared to most bands in their genre, mainly because of their female ...
