Music reviews of An Ocean Between Us
Music Review: We Ain't Done Yet!
Rating: 5 Stars
After Shadows Are Security dragged this band through the mud, I wasn't sure what to expect from the next album but I bought it anyways out of loyalty. For once, this was the right choice. Listening to A.O.B.U. is like being kicked in the teeth repeatedly by an angry mule...in a good way. Heavier, more focused, and more intense than any of their previous efforts. No more pussy-footing around here: these guys aren't afraid to show their obvious thrash influence while still expertly incorporating melody. The screams are more powerful and the singing more beautiful than ever before. All the while it is catchy as hell. Your head will be bobbing while you drool like an idiot. The biggest standout moment for me is the hook in Forsaken...it gives me honest-to-God chills every time. If you are considering buying this album, DO IT.
Description of An Ocean Between Us
Building upon the foundation that AILD has laid over the past several years, growing from a small San Diego outfit slowly and deliberately into a priority national act, the band has become Metal Blade Records' biggest sellers with an extremely devoted following. AS I LAY DYING has the goods to take it all the way and stake their claim as the metal band you need to know about in 2007 and beyond.It didn't take long for the once exciting sounds of metalcore to devolve into metalsnore but, thankfully, a few bands have lead the charge toward keeping the (sub)genre's lifeblood flowing with enthusiasm and even ingenuity. Among them? As I Lay Dying. The San Diego-based outfit returns with the kind of killer guitar hooks (courtesy of Phil Sgrosso and Nick Hipa), dynamic vocals, and a drum and bass attack that creates an aftershock bound to be felt for the remainder of the decade and long into the next. The radio-friendly title cut stands as an exemplar of the unit's true strengths, while "Comfort Betrays" and "Within Destruction" are pure metal mayhem that will inspire the listener to wield a healthy sense of righteous indignation. Among the other fascinating cuts are "Forsaken," "I Never Wanted," and the soaring "The Sound of Truth." The band may try a little too hard during moments of "Wrath Upon Ourselves" and "This is Who We Are," but on the whole, An Ocean Between Us proves that As I Lay Dying is an unstoppable force worthy of sustained attention and capable of transforming and transcending the musical parameters in which it was born. --Jedd Beaudoin
