"This album is great! Nick 13's singing is great and his songwriting is better. Geoff Kresge is playing stand-up bass and London May (ex. Samhain, Son Of Sam) is on drums. And on background vocals you can hear Davey Havok (A.F.I.) yellin'. Songs are sometimes even darker.
"Incorporeal", "Power Of Moonlite", "When The Night Comes Down", "Valley Of Dreams", "Annabel Lee" (inspired by Edgar Allan Poe's song of the same name) and "In The Orchard" (Marty Robbins ballad featuring a pedal steel guitar) are all great songs."

WOW,Tiger Army...

"Tiger Army is a great band and this is an amazing album. Nick 13's songwriting skills seem to get better with each new track. A great example is under Saturn's Shadow and Cupid's victim. If you get the chance see them live also, they won't dissapoint. Hell, I went out of my way to see them w/a broken arm. Tiger Army THANKS for all your music and hours upon hours of listening enjoyment."

Better than the self-titled.

"First let me say that I'm not a psychobilly fan by any means, and I'm not even much of a punk rock fan (though I am a big Bad Religion fan). I just really like Tiger Army's sound and style. With that said, here's a few things I need to comment on with Power Of Moonlite...As much as I liked some songs from their first self-titled album, I was bothered by the fact that many of the songs seemed very generic...there are only 4 or 5 songs on the album that I think really stand out from the others. And for the most part, these same-sounding songs were fairly dull music-wise. Also, I felt that the mix was WAY too slap-bass heavy. Often the drums and vocals seemed to be lost in the mix, and right up front was this toneless "SLAP SLAP SLAP SLAP SLAP SLAP SLAP SLAP" that was just covering everything, and really got on my nerves after a while.With this album, either they mixed it differently or they found a different way of recording the bass altogether, because the slap sounds aren't nearly as predominant. And that's not saying that the bass ISN'T...the bass lines are part of what makes Tiger Army great, and you can still hear them perfectly, without that constant slap hitting you in the face. I also think the songs are more varied and more consistantly well-written. Even when some of them start to sound a little samey, they're still very enjoyable. My only big complaint about the album is the sequencing...I wish In The Orchard would be placed earlier on the album, just to give the listener a breather. Up to Cupid's victim (#7), it is a pretty constant vibe, tempo-wise and intensity-wise.So, like I said, I'm not into the whole psychobilly scene or anything like that, so I can't really compare this album to any other albums of the same genre, but I have to recommend this to anyone who claims to be a fan of "all types of music." Tiger Army is definitely a step above most other punk rock out there today."
