Nonpoint does it again.......2006-01-29

This is the last Nonpoint album I needed to have all the albums. I'd rate it 2nd to To The Pain, which is outstanding. The "In the Air Tonight" Phil Collins cover is really cool. I wish they had more covers like that. This album sounds a little more like Statement than Development. One song is entirely in Spanish (track 5) but it is one of the best instrumentally on the disk. Nonpoint rocks again!!!

Nonpoint's Best.......2005-11-29

This is one of the best albums of contemporary metal. Recoil is pure energy. Heavy crushing segments and melodic atmospheric movements accompany each other perfectly, allowing the moods of the songs to pour out of your speakers like the bursting of a dam floods a small town.

Nonpoint: Song by Song rates and most song reviews.......2005-07-07

Nonpoint is a good pick-up for me. I first heard these guys when I bought Nascar Thunder 2003 and they had a song called Circles on there, so I decided to check them out. Man, was it a good check out. This is probably my best CD, and I listen to just about each song atleast twice a day. Im gonna review each song and rate it as well.

1) The Same - 9.5/10: A good opening fast pace track. Has great drum work and great vocal work. It has great lyrics to go along with it.

2) The Truth - 15/10: My favorite song on the CD. I just love the beat and the vocal work Nonpoint shows on this song. I love how the lead singer's voice of Nonpoint goes with the beat.

3) Broken Bones - 9/10: No review

4) Wait - 9.5/10: Softy then most songs on the CD. One of my favorite songs on the CD even with the soft vocal work.

5) Rabia - 5/10: Since I cant understand a word this song says, I'm giving this a low score. The song is on spanish with a latin beat I guess. If it was in English, it would probably get a 10 outta 10

6) Done it Anyway - 9/10: No Review

7) Move Now - 9.5/10: No Review

8) Piece of Mind - 10/10: Awesome drum work. Awesome vocals. Just an awesome song all around.

9) Impossible Needs - 9.5/10: No Review

10) Past It All - 10/10: Soft vocal song but one of the best songs on the CD.

11) Side with the gun - 8.5/10: No Review

12) Reward - 10/10: Really good ending song, and it fits too cause if you continue the cd, there is a bonus track.

All and All, this CD is awesome, its a must checkout

The Best Of Both Worlds.......2005-06-02

Nonpoint are very difficult to figure and equally hard to categorize. This works to the Miami based band's benefit, but at times, can be confusing. Are they "nu-metal,"(whatever that overused and truly nondescriptive term means)as on their first album for the major label wasteland known as MCA? Or are they applying a crunchy metallic sheen to a truly gifted rhythm section, as on their second(and panned by fans)record, Development? Well on this record, they decide to take the best of the both worlds, showing...dare I say it...gasp...maturity.

No, that's not a bad thing. The material here is all over the place; from singer Elias Soriano spitting Spanish in "Rabia," to the very warm commercial guitar-friendly sound of "Past It All," but never sounds like a band in search of an identity, more one of experimentation. The band even does a percussion heavy take on "In The Air Tonight" that bears no resembalance to the original(thankfully). Really, Nonpoint is at it's best on the album's first three cuts, "The Same," "The Truth" and "Broken Bones" where Sevendust grinding is offset by Soriano's smooth voice, which has developed its own personality over their career, leading them maybe not to mainstream stardom, but certainly to musical integrity.

Great!.......2005-05-04

Wow, I have never heard this band before, or even heard of them, but I like to go to the store and just look at cd's and buy them if they look like I might like them, so I picked this one up and it is just what I was looking for, the singer has a sort of semi-scream, and his voice just sounds awesome and goes with the music greatly, there isn't a song on here that I don't like, if your are into this type of music, then I would definately recommend this band, and I can't wait to get the other cd's.
