CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com As Randy, Paula, and Simon might put it, it's a little pitchy in places, but not bad overall. On Pray for the Soul of Betty, the debut disc from the New York-based band fronted by American Idol reject Constantine Maroulis, we get a taste of the kind of music the vainglorious but inarguably good-looking singer cooked up prior to his primetime TV turn. As it happens, the company Constantine kept (and still keeps--we can expect to hear more from Pray for the Soul of Betty) is a whole lot less friendly than the bright-smiled, starry-eyed cast of characters he shared a stage with in the spring of 2005. Essentially, Pray for the Soul of Betty is hardcore rock 101: It's loud, angry, and delivered with a snarl, not to mention a few choice curse words (check "Rich ****"). The bass thunders ominously, the drums explode, and the singer--our star--tramps insouciantly across it all, coming off as more of a theatrical presence than an interpreter of anything meaningful. Which is not to say the disc doesn't have its moments; a couple of well timed vocal turns on "SomeofMy*****UpWorld" reinforce why Constantine had a run at the Idol title, and "Truck Stop Sally" tells a compelling if vapid story. Best reason to buy it: The easy-on-the-eyes cover art. -Tammy La Gorce Similar CDs

CD ReviewsWOW! What an awesome CD Lizzy | Maryland | 05/10/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "I was so impressed with Constantine Maroulis on American Idol that I had to buy this CD. I am not normally a fan of hard rock, but this CD is awesome. I can't believe this is the band's first CD. They sound like they've been around for a long time. My favorite tracks are "Cry" and "Truck Stop Sally" but they are all really good. I highly recommend this CD. I guarantee you won' be disappointed." SIZZLING HOT! Constantine "Rocks" My World.. Joyce Miller | New Jersey | 05/10/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "OMG! If you thought Constantine was sensual and sexy on idol, this cd is going to make you sweat--if you're human, that is). Constantines vocals on this CD are as sensual and hynotic as his patented stares. This is a moody and sensual ride. It ain't for the faint of heart. My favorite so far is "Cry." Con takes us on a sensual up and down...up and down (catch my drift - tee hee) roller coaster ride. If you are not a hard rock fan, fear not. While the themes of some of these songs are dark and moody, I wouldn't call it hard rock. I don't like hard rock. Never have. But I luuuuv this cd. Enjoy!" I was ready to hate it... but it's surprisingly good! KDM | LA | 05/11/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "I was all set to hate this CD, not being a fan of hard rock. But surprise, surprise, it was actually good. The best way I can describe it is that it sounds very Generation-X... like a soundtrack to REALITY BITES.
Cry and Truck Stop Sally are my favorites. " |
