CD Reviews

Darker Red Flag......
02/28/2002
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Red Flag has always impressed me for many reasons, and the Crypt album continues to keep me opptimistic about upcoming Red Flag releases. One review once refered to Red Flag as a Depeche mode for adults, quite accurate. Crypt manages to deal with darker feelings and subject matter without having to take on the whole selfish "poor me" adolescent attitude. Red Flag has had many albums with various tones, and this one is just another example of what Red Flag can do. It's rare anymore to find a syntho-pop band that still holds somewhat close to it's roots. There is a uniqueness to Red Flag that should be appreciated. The band manages to try and give there fans what they want, instead of trying to capture mainstream stardom by hoping to sound cutting edge with the latest pathetic band image. Crypt is really a cool album and has been a real exciter."
A unique sound by an independent duo

"I am not a huge fan of synth-pop, but these guys have a hold on me for some reason; on The Crypt they have put out a series of catchy tunes, a pretty (and pretty strong) 41 minutes of music. Red Flag is somewhere between the existentialism of "Click Click" (a fairly obscure band these days) and the sappiness of Depeche Mode. I would recommend this music to fans of either of those two bands; clubbers who are into EBM might even enjoy the tame sound of The Crypt. What i appreciate most about Red Flag is their DIY (do it yourself) philosophy, which often entails eccentric packaging of the CD.Let me clear one thing up right now: This CD can hardly be called "dark" music when one considers the dozens of truly dark electronically-based groups available to choose from (e.g., velvet acid christ, skinny puppy, hocico, wumpscut, cruxshadows, kevorkian death cycle, android lust, dismantled, xorcist, in strict confidence, cenobita, etc.)"
The Crypt Is Mesmerizing and Awesome!!

"What an amazing and terrific album displayed by Red Flag! I love Mark's sexy and recognizable vocals!! The Reynolds brothers are totally awesome!! I have "Naive Art" and I absolutely love it! I love this album as well. My favs on here are "I See you", "The King of Everything", "Curtains", and "Heaven in Medias Res".I can't wait for the next cd, "Bitter End". I'm sure that will be amazing. GO RED FLAG!!!"
