"I saw these guys in concert with Coal Chamber, and they were AWESOME! I met them, and they were the most down to earth band I have ever met. They have something in the songs that has never been done before, and I think that if you are going to spend your money, you should spend it on this CD, because their music is awesome and I can't think of people who deserve the success more than they do. SO GET THE CD!"

Weird but good

"the creepy effects,growling high pitched vox, and crunchy guitars are rampant on this album.duke can really howl.guitar work is more intricate than can be expected on a typical metal album and the las two tracks "time" and "falling down" are two of the best mellow album enders ever.definitely grab this one.for fans of v shape mind,reveille,tool."

"Lead singer Duke goes from creepy high pitched type versus to demonic growls with the snap of a finger. This is a good thing, because with a name like 'Deadlights' you need to have a voice that makes it hard to sleep at night, and coupled with brutal musicanship and samples from horror films, names of tracks like 'Bitter' 'Whores' and 'Sado' and lyrics dealing with death and S&M 'Deadlights' have everything it takes to scare the $hit out of you. From the opening sample for 'Bitter' with some creepy man repeating 'No' while some chick moans this bands first and only release gets you ready for the onslaught that is 'The Deadlights'. 'Amplifier' gets Duke sounding something like if Billy Corgan grew some balls. 'Junk' has some of the coolest drumming I've every heard and although the guitar progression is nothing new, the chorus is so brutal it's worth listening to and the guitar intro to verse two helps make this track one step above. 'Foolish Pride' sounds a bit different than anything else on this album. It starts off aucustic and never gets out of the mainstream vibe...and thats not too bad becasue the song is pretty good. Again though, Duke sounds quite a bit like Billy Corgan here. 'Whores' is one of the best tracks here...just brutal and in your face! 'Pox Eclipse' is probably my favorite track. 'Distant Sun' gets back into the creepyness that 'Bitter' brought to the table while the closer 'Falling Down' ends things with a tribal sounding track, like something that would close a Godsmack CD...like 'Voodoo' or something, but the guitar work here is awsome. All in all, great album by a band that should still be around. Too Bad."
