OMG BLOOD BROTHERS, *WOOT * WOOT, July 16 2006
you might think of this as your average screamo band, but they're not, they have a different taste to their music, thats what i love about them, if you dont like people screaming, then dont buy this album, but if you do, then what are you waisting your time waiting, GO BUY IT!

this work or art isnt for everyone, July 10 2004
This review is from: Burn Piano Island, Burn (Audio CD)
i was quite put off at first when i heard this album. yes the screams, and yes there was a lack of a clear consistent melody that did make this a harder listen, and many people will never be able to understand this fine work because of 1 of 2 reasons. 1.you are musically unsophisticated and like very simple or soothing music or 2. you cannot let go and get into the madness and crazy adrenaline-like rush mindset that this music produces. you are the kind of person that doesnt enjoy suffering (to get stronger/ improve ur life). I love suffering to improve myself also to somewhat cleanse myself of my wrongness that i feel. No i am not religious, but i do feel that i do wrong in this life and that by pushing myself to the limits i can improve my state of being and redeem myself somewhat for my losses. this music is something that someone that exerts theirself to the limits can relate to. people who like to improve their state of being, but don't savor the painful ordeal or the actual journey of sufferiong that you must undergo to reach a higher state of being will not be able to get much of anything out of this record. they would probably have reactions similar to that of my friends and be scared, disguisted, or confused by it. IT is tragic when a good friend cannot relate to music that you are passionate about.
if you are pro-drug you will much more probably be able to understand this album and really get off by it. ppl that are pro drug use are generally more vivacious and like, as i do, the extremes in life. I wasn't able to really let go of reality for quite some time, but when i finally did let go this album clicked into place for me and became music to my ears instead of akward obnoxious noise. I was reading another review that compared At the Drive in to coca cola classic, Sparta to Pepsi one, and The Mars Volta to Jolt cola. I'd like to add to my own music to substance comparison with this band. The Blood Brothers are musical crack (ive never used it, just from what ive heard / read / percieved). This crack music is highly addictive and gives you one hell of a rush. however u need to listen to it with the appropriate mindset for you to enjoy its entire pallet. I'd also like to state that music that is modern and that I enjoy even somewhat becomes, like this album did, an instant favorite of mine because so many of my friends and other ppls cant appreciate its beauty or get the rush that i get when i listen to it. loving music others dont is a very rewarding experience because it defines who you are, and gives you that happy feeling that you know and understand something that other ppl won't. they could understand it like you, but they are different from you and can't. and many ppl think that difference is scary wrong and bad. so ppl that dont understand y u like it become scary wrong and bad, and you become holy and saintlike and good. and even though that sounds really really wrong it feels really really good, and you arent even physically doing much of anything except listening to music.
In conclusion, this album is a powerful and extremely stimulating experience that many of us are incapable of appreciating because they cannot relate to it or are not intense or are intolerant to music that is complex. This CD is like gold to me, and truely will grow on you and will be definately worth ur money to buy. i'll tell you right now that i am in love with this album and addicted to it like drugs.if u are new to this music id reccomend listening/downloading track(s) 3, 5, 9, and/or 12. good luck accepting this wonderful creation and let it be a truely ravishing experience! love life and love to live and live to love:)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This review is from: Burn Piano Island, Burn (Audio CD)
this is one of my prized treasure's ever . their debut with a major label was absolutely amazing . at first i didnt even know the music that they played but i knew their name because it had popped here and there at times but the chance i got to listen to them was from my teacher who is a big fan of them and he had lend me their burn piano island burn record and i was totally amazed with their talent with the work they had put to make this wonderful record . the tracks in the record were all brilliant and wonderful to listen . The Blood Brothers are awesome overall and a band in Canada named Alexisonfire is quiet like them and i got to figure out the blood brothers when my teacher had lend me their cd and i was in love with their freaking music and the next day i went and bought their records . brilliant they sound , they are superb at their vocals and instrumental .
In canada we dont get a chance to listening to american bands like the blood brothers or dillinger four . for the teacher , i had gotten a chance to get a chance to listen to their stuff .
In Canada there is American mainstream music playing and canadian underground music . the chance to get hear them were slim for at the start
