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 ... ...a bit of a downside and doesn't really show what the albums about. It protrays a woman on what is assumed to be a cross. She has has a wound on her side which is spraying blood. Alot of people may be offended by this if they are very religious, and it has absolutely nothing to do with the album. I would expect an unusual photograph of the band to be put on an album like this, but then again the fact it doesn't make sense could be slightly appealing. ...

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 like ... ...in the sun..."
5) CORAL FANG
The song the album is titled on which has memoriable choruses such lyrics as:
"It feels so still I could just die
Its going to reach up inside
Oh how the blood stains well on white..."
6) THE HUNGER
At the beginning Brody goes straight in toning down her voice to become more melodic and soft sound before breaking into a powerful chorus. Lyrics are:
"Open sky, the wave of pain the scent of you is bliss Hungry eyes, ...

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 ... ...The Gallow Is God

1.Drain The Blood- The First song in the album which gets it off to a bang. Brody's voice is key to the effect of this song and the rough guitars with Brody's voice give a great upbeat punk funk feel.
2. Dismantle Me
The 2nd song of the album is as just as good as the first ...

...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 changed, ... ...a whole new load of punk tracks had been created to rouse the fans.
Yet again when their most recent album, the hugely successful ‘Coral Fang’ (2003) had hit the shops, the band line-up had changed once more to include Brody, Andy, Ryan and now Tony Bradley on guitar and as a back-up vocalist. These four are now what The Distillers is all about. ‘Coral Fang’ is far more versatile compared to their other albums, but none the ...

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 reverts ... ...‘The Gallon is God’ slows the pace down somewhat, with it’s more sluggish and reflective style, before title track ‘Coral Fang’ picks it up again, with the kind of chorus that implants itself into your head for days on end. ‘The Hunger’ was the second single to be lifted from the album, and provides some variation on the album, changing from soft to powerful between verse and chorus. ‘Hall of Mirrors’ is quite similar to the previous track in it’s ...

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.
... ...market to attract mainstream attention. The front cover is an eye-catching stylized crucifixion with bleeding razor blades spurting out. If this gets some social rebels attention then the back will seal the deal with a pic of a 'pregnant' person bleeding red razor blades. There's something rather immature about these pics and the other similar ones in the sleeve. The only reason I can see if for the shock factor. It doesn't look great in the cd collection.

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 lead singer ... ...(just listen to her previous albums, or 'The Hunger' on this album), as well as being able to add that feminine spirit Distillers' fans fall in love with.
The lyrics venture far into stories of pain and blood, and Brody sings with a spirit that lets you see inside her world. The music fits perfectly into whatever style the particular song has in mind. The songs don't 'make sense' as such, but it leaves you to fit them to your own experience.
