Customer Reviews:

"Farewell", "Ruska", and "Bittersweet" are excellent songs.......2007-01-04

A good number of the songs on this album are a touch "heavy metal" but there are enough songs that I really like to make this a good album. There is a bonus track with Eicca singing in German. I could be wrong, but she doesn't sing in English on this album. Maybe she doesn't feel comfortable singing in the English, but the two gentlemen on the album do a good job on the tracks with lyrics. "Farewell" is an emotional piece that I quite enjoyed.

Apocalytpica rocks.......2006-01-12

This CD is one of the best from Apocalyptica. Best songs (besides "The Path") on this CD. "Bittersweet" is the best one, it has Ville Valo (HIM, NOT The Rasmus) as vocals, accompanied by Laurie (The Rasmus). YOU NEED TO OWN THIS!

Magnificent once again.......2005-10-21

Once again Apocalyptica proved to be influencial and staggering with their new album. For those of you who are not familiar with Apocalyptica and their music, I recommend you to listen to their former albums in order to appreciate and fully understand the groups's progress. For a quick info you can listen to tracks such as "Master of Puppets", "M.B.", "Inquisition Sypmhony", "Path", "Toreador" and "Prologue[Apprehension]".

Well, from the day they started off with "Plays Metallica by Four Cellos" Apocalyptica have immensely matured and diversified their sound span. Today, their new self-titled album "Apocalyptica" stands at the peak of their maturing. Diversity blended with drums continue to flourish throughout this album. Tracks such as "Fisheye", "Fatal Error" and ofcourse "Betrayal/Forgiveness", which is featuring Slayer drummer Dave Lombardo, are the most aggressive and thrilling tracks on the album. While listening to "Fisheye" or "Betrayal/Forgiveness" you can find yourself accompanying the drums and totally blown out. By the way should I mention the unbelievable cello playing skills that will give you shivers?

On the other hand tracks like "Farewell", "Ruska" and "Deathzone" are more classical tuned and evenly beatiful like the rest of the album. I should recommend "Farewell" to everybody, this song conveys all feelings so poised and brilliantly that it can make you cry easily at the end of a though day.

Remaining tracks; "Life Burns!", "Quutamo", "Distraction", "Bittersweet", "Misconstruction" are all moving and should appeal to everyone who likes metal or classical music.

Eventually in this album Apocalyptica took one step forward in terms of sound and recording quality. Fact that they took charge in recording of the album shows us that they are also talented in production as well. This album, standing as the darkest but the most moving Apocalyptica ever made, is a must listen and should thrill everyone who wants to savor quality, adept music.

If only Cello could feed your hunger..........2005-10-06

This is the first album of Apocalyptica that i own. It is very satisfying! and like i said...if only Cello could feed your hunger...this one will definetely will!
The first single from this album is called 'Bittersweet', which is so damn good!!! Not only the sounds of the Cello will move you, but also the duet vocals of, featuring Ville Vallo (the lead singer of The Rasmus of Finland), and the Laurie guy (i forgot his anme..sorry), sounds AMAZING.Note that if you like Til Lindemann of Rammstein's vocal,then you'll love Laurie's too!! The Rasmus dude really sings his heart out....which is why the song is so pure with feelings..and i am telling you the feeling is heavy and for sure this song will stick to your head!**Watch the video clip too because it's beautiful!**
'Ruska' is so freakin' amazing!! The song is not Metal like any other songs in the album, it is more towards instrumental with no Heavy Metal sounds to it. But it doesn't made this song bad at all! The Cello and background beat is simply great! Same goes to "Deathzone", but it's more Metal like this time..
Want real heavy metal clashed with classical?? You have got to listen to 'Quutamo'.... OMG,it's full of attitude and so damn GOOD!!!One of my favourites,of course!
But you cant miss the non-instrumental version of 'Quutamo'.. I have no idea who sang it, but all i can tell you is that the vocalist is a female and she sangs in French if i am not mistaken.. Ok, so maybe i am wrong..maybe it's finnish *but i still think it's french*, who cares..all im saying is that you should listen to that particular song! If that dont appear on your song list on the album, then switch to the last song of the album, Deathzone *right?!*, and wait for the 6th minute and 30 seconds of that song.. I know it's already ended, but wait for it...and that version of 'Quutamo',ladies and gentleman,will play! Trust me!
Anyway,this album is not only for Heavy metal/rock lovers..but also for those with Classical ears!

Oh wow!.......2005-08-20

Well, i LOVE this group. Even though i only own this cd i've heard others and thats what i think... OH WOW. Im a musician (classical) and hearing this its like rock has always been a part in an instrument as classical as the Cello... If you havent heard of them before this is a cd that represents what they are...... i've just heard they are coming to my country (venezuela) in just 2 months..... i cant miss it!!
