Killswitch Engage - As Daylight Dies [2006]
Editorial Reviews @ Amazon.com
From the Artist
There’s definitely some urgency in the album, and a lot of that comes from my feeling there’s so little time to do all the stuff we can to make a difference, Jones explains. Just look at the way the world is - it’s just hard to fathom some of the stuff that’s happening out there, some of the atrocities. As for whether this is a `political’ record, it’s there in black and white - I’ll let people judge for themselves; but I think if there’s any kind of statement to this record, it’s in the album title: Whether in some large or small way, it’s the idea of just trying to make a difference in your world before the day is over.
Product Description
No shortcuts. No compromises. No BS. From their modest beginnings in New England’s hardcore scene to their current status as one of the most influential and inspirational forces in modern music, Killswitch Engage have played by these three simple rules. With their new, fourth album, As Daylight Dies, KsE are proving that if you keep playing the game your way, you’ll eventually change the rules for everyone else. We never consciously went out of our way to be different,guitarist Adam Dutkiewicz says from the band’s home base in Westfield, Massachusetts. When we started this band, we just wanted to play cool riffs and scream and sing. We liked many different sounds so we tried to incorporate all these rock and pop styles while keeping a good, solid metal mentality. Eleven songs strong, As Daylight Dies isn’t just a testament to the band’s original vision; it’s also their strongest fusion of aggression, melody, rock and metal to date.

The Ataris - Welcome the Night [LIVE] [2007]
From Amazon.ca
Much more than the passage of time has occurred in the four years between the release of The Ataris’s So Long Astoria and Welcome the Night: Half of the group left while the two existing members (frontman Kristopher Roe and guitarist John Collura) decided to change their sound considerably. Losing much of their previous punk/pop leanings and gaining an atmospheric hue, Welcome the Night is more of a darkly-lit whole than a series of radio-friendly singles. A Killers-esque vocal style weaves in and out of the disc, most notably on the opening two tracks (”Not Capable of Love,” “Cardiff-by-the-Sea”) while a handful of other numbers (”Secret Handshakes,” “And We All Become Like Smoke”) ooze with the affectation of Disintegration-era Cure. The group finds their own engaging sound on a handful of tracks; “Whatever Lies Will Help You Rest” and the uncredited track 15 contain a strong sense of emotional theatre, thanks to frontman Roe’s soaring vocals. His gothy, clichéd lyrics, however, are nearly cringeworthy to hear (”I will drown inside the anguish of your heart” from “Act V Scene IV”). The Ataris are in many respects still a young band, showing influences on their sleeve a little too clearly while they search for their own identity. Their overt change in sound may disenfranchise the group from some longtime fans, but it will likely engage more new ones with deeper roots than ever before. –Denise Sheppard
Billboard Magazine, February 24, 2007
“… unrelentingly sober ruminations on romantic loss, spiritual longing, and even suicidal despair, albeit with anthemic choruses that keep you pumping your fist while Roe is tearing out his heart.”
