1 out of 5 stars Poser lead singer.......2006-09-30

I bought this album way back when. I didnt know there was a lead singer change. Well I hated this Poser. The music may have been great but he spoiled it for me.

5 out of 5 stars great metal.......2006-08-28

5 out of 5 stars Best Loudness Album!!!.......2006-08-21

This is their best work - hands down. Great songwriting with Outstanding guitar, drums and bass!! Unbelievable vocals by American singer Mike Vescera. You can feel the energy between all members with Mike being the new change to the band. No filler, just great metal!!

5 out of 5 stars A searing release - Loudness hits the spot.......2006-02-16

Wow. This was my intro to this band I'd only heard underground rumblings about. This album can be listened to from one end to the other. The searing class of the guitar playing. How this wasn't huge can only be down to a few reasons - a) bad luck or b) poor management or c) the band not being American. My guess is C given that even in 2005 one foreign band was told by their american record company "why would we want bands from overseas when we have our own bands" (not to mention any names).

I'd love to sit here and talk about each track but your better off just buying this album and enjoying it. Michael Vescera is in top form, nobody can accuse him of not trying to make this work - at least in the studio. One track I must mention is Demon Disease. Listen to the damn lyrics. Foreboding but uplifting and that's not an easy line to walk. Not to mention that by the time this album is over you need something emotional to let you down from the blast you've just experienced.

Alas the band didn't hit this high very often, I've reviewed a couple of their other albums for anyone who'd like to check out my thoughts on some of their other releases.
