SMILE EMPTY SOUL - SMILE EMPTY SOUL

"Smile Empty Soul recorded one of the best albums of 2003 in my opinion. When I first heard their single "Bottom of a Bottle", I couldn't wait to hear the rest of their cd. And even though "Bottom of a Bottle" is probably the most overplayed rock song of 2003, it still rocks. This album starts off amazing, with the first 4 or 5 songs being top notch. It kind of loses some steam in the middle, picks back up for a couple songs, then loses more at the end. But overall, this album has it all. There's heavy songs, slow songs, everything you could want in an alternative rock album. If you like this album, I suggest also checking out a couple more new bands, Die Trying and Echo 7. If I had to compare Smile Empty Soul with someone, I'd say they remind me a lot of Hoobastank, Incubus, Audiovent, Die Trying, maybe even a little Three Days Grace. My favorite songs include: Bottom of a Bottle, Silhouettes, Nowhere Kids, and All My Problems.01 - Bottom of a Bottle - 5/5
02 - Silhouettes - 5/5
03 - Nowhere Kids - 5/5
04 - This Is War - 5/5
05 - Therapy - 4/5
06 - For You - 4/5
07 - Your Way - 4/5
08 - The Other Side - 5/5
09 - Every Sunday - 3/5
10 - With This Knife - 5/5
11 - Radio In A Hole - 3/5
12 - All My Problems - 5/5
13 - I Want My Life - 4/5
14 - Eraser - 3/5"
One of the best CD's I own

"I decided to purchase this CD after watching the video clip of the song 'Nowhere Kids' and this song touched me. 'Smile Empty Soul' is a band of 3 young men who share music with soul, passion and compassion. This CD begins with the front 6 songs that are quite easily hits. And infact the songs 'Nowhere Kids', 'Silhouettes', 'This Is War', 'For You' and 'With This Knife' are simply special in their own right. All the songs have meaningful lyrics that are moving and amazingly touching. The first song is truly emotional dealing with a parent who is a alcoholic. Many kids unfortunately deal with this situation in their early lives, parents who are alcoholics. I can relate, my father died of alcoholism. But the most poignant song was 'Nowhere Kids', third song in that deals with Abuse of kids within a family environment. 'This Is War' deals with the lead singer's thoughts on war and its consequences on individualism. 'For You' is a more of a serenade than a song that deals with unrequeated love. Many of us have faced that gambit.

'Smile Empty Soul' has simply packed their debut album with songs that mean something to them and it is unique that all three band members wrote the songs in this album release. They wanted to reach out musically to all who are effected with these issues and tell them their is hope. All the songs are done with a heavy rock setting and the music sound melds perfectly with the lyrics.

Excellent CD and I would promote this CD to one and all."
