CD Reviews

Good, but....
Robert E. Hall | Troy,MI | 11/22/2006
(2 out of 5 stars)

"The only other album I own is the self titled album. I remember the growls and beautiful voice of Liv. I never even bothered with the albums where they decided to go techno-industrial or what ever that crap was. I am always looking for the operatic sounds when I am looking for new music. It's getting harder to find bands like that anymore. Seems like everytime you find one they only put out one album or one ep and then it's over. Case in point..Eyes Without Face..great!! But they only put out an ep and thats it. This album is okay, but, after hearing the whole thing I was bored. The new female singer is way too poppy, her voice never changes on any of the songs. I felt at times I was listening to Collide. I guess she can't sing operatic style. The rest of the vocals are just boring and not uplifting at all. Almost seems that they are trying to get into that Nu-Metal market and appeal to the younger crowd. So..okay, but, nothing special."
Different but good

"Being a fan of early Theatre, Velvet darkness and Aegis, I took a risk on buying this album especially after the bad reviews for the last two before this, but this album didn't disappoint. It is certainly not like the early albums but continues with Theatre's catchy sounds and Raymonds spoken word type vocals, with a lighter sort of rock style female vocals.The lyrics are excellent, more contemporary poetry rather than classic as on previous albums , I like every track and can listen to the whole album through which is rare, it has a similar strangely melancholic yet catchy sound that Aegis had, but is more of a hard rock kind of style, yet more meaningful and deep than most hard rock albums. Not for everyone as its not mainstream, nor is it exactly what Theatre made a name for themselves with, but worth a listen if you are willing to try something a bit different from the band."
Brand New Fan

"One day I got on a kick to find something brand new to listen too. After tons of browsing and sample searching I came upon an older more experienced band I had never heard, Theatre of Tragedy.



What a great band this is. The music has classical touches mixed in with Industrial/Hard Rock riffs, but the clash of vocalizations is what set this band apart from anything I have heard. The vocals are a mix of lively polished female vocals with a rougher and darker male drone.



I was surprised to find out that ToT was a Norwegian band. Thankfully there is none of the screaming, rasping, and growling you find in their music.



Over here in North America Evanessence comes the closest to ToT but I have to point out that I said... closest. ToT is by far and away more solid than Evanessence, especially when it comes to the vocals. Though Evanessence does have an edge in their more interesting songwriting.



If you are looking for a rock CD that does not follow any formulas, has some melodies, and you like to hear a talented singer in front of a distorted guitar, give this CD a chance. I think you will be as surprised and happy as I was."
