Great CD for all types of rock listeners, Jun 21 2004
This review is from: Passenger (Audio CD)
I first listened to Passenger after someone recommended that I listen to them because I liked In Flames and the like. Although different, the hard baseline still gives it that hard rock feel, with a very slight touch of nu-metal. When I saw that Anders Friden was the vocals, I expected In Flames type singing, but, instead, I was suprised by Anders'... better? voice. He definitely worked on it, and the outcome sounds very good in this album. He does practically all the singing. Overall, if you are any type of rock listener, this CD will get you interested. I suggest you give it a try. One of their songs, "In Reverse" is on CenturyMedia.com, their recording label. (...) This, however, is not the best song on the album. In my opinion, "In My Head", "Just The Same", "Carnival Diaries", and "I Die Slowly" are all equal or better than "In Reverse".

COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER, Mar 3 2004
This review is from: Passenger (Audio CD)
This cd is not that good. It could have been better because there is a member from the group In Flames in this band. I listened to it once and got bored of it. The songs were good for the first listen but not on the second listen. Not really nu-metal if you think it will be.

Fantastic - Melodic metal at its best, Jan 21 2004
This review is from: Passenger (Audio CD)
This album is fantastic. It really is apleasure to listen to from start to finish as there is not a bad song on it. This is a metal album but not in the same way as In Flames etc. this is heavy, yet melodic, with fantastic vocals that you have to sing along to, otherwise you are deaf or more likely... dead. The songs are structured in a more verse -chorus - verse structure than other metal which gives it an almost 'commercial' feel but please dont think that this is a sell out pop metal album. It may be catchy but it still kicks ass and has an originality and personality about it which is unrivaled. The guitars and loud and clear, the drums are heavy and the basslines and clear and up in the mix (which makes a change in metal). This is one quality production job. Trust me, listen to this and check it out! Im sure you will like it. If your a fan of metal and you want something other than extreme music crushing your ears everyday, this album is a perfect break from the brutality. If you like this i would also suggest checking out: Soilwork "Natural born chaos", Minus "hallador Laxus" , soil "scars".
