Album Description
The new sound of independent, Modern/Active rock. BIG GUITARS, BASS, DRUMS, PIANOS, (no synth, no drum machine) melodic vocals but enough good yells and raw sound. Along the lines of Tool, NIN and beyond. Top-notch players playing top-notch songs.

Will peak your curiosity and draw you into it's tragic tale with just one listen.......2006-03-07
The Good
Man Without Eyes is a concept album that, you as the listener, has to interpret the meaning of yourself. I will tell you that the album's title refers to one that is blind to the effects of the causes they put into motion through their choices. The album is split into tow parts; Rising and Falling. Driving riffs and piercing arpeggio tones dominate "Take Your Face." Sammus' low-registering vocals enhance the dark tone that is being laid by the instrumentation. A meaty bass line prevails on "Lead Foot." Sammus expresses his main characters frustration with the people that hold back his creativity on this one.
"Hole in the Wall" continues on the dark road that its predecessors set forth, but relies on an acoustic background. However, as the song reaches its peak, the distortion kicks in. A long, progressive style introduction takes you into "Man Without Eyes, Part I." "Split" delves into the darker or more evil side of the album protagonist. "Fair Weather Friend" has a great hard rock riff that's pushed aside by Sammus' intense vocals. Multi-layered vocals help convey the evil turn that this story is about to take. I won't give away the ending to "Man Without Eyes, Part II," but this track is encompassed by emotional piano and vocals. You know what that usually means.
The Bad
I hate having to figure out what concept albums mean.
The Verdict
I'm amazed that Man Without Eyes is The Sammus Theory's first album. Most bands need 3 to 4 albums to accomplish the musical achievements that are displayed here. Though I found the story a little above my comprehension, the music is dark, emotional, and unique. Man Without Eyes will peak your curiosity and draw you into it's tragic tale with just one listen.
Perhaps the Best CD Ever!.......2005-11-21
Upon purhacsing the CD it looked awesome. But after listining, it was outstanding. All the best rock elements come together with awesome musicians. The bass and guitar have great depth and you can feel the emotion in it. Joe Morris drums are incredible. Its like putting all the best musicians into one band making the best music possible. How could you say no to that? You don't, so you go out and get this awesome album! I would rate this CD in my top 5 MUST HAVE!!! If you love rock, would be the one to get!
you NEED this album.......2005-11-16
The Sammus Theory's debut album "Man Without Eyes", is nothing short of amazing. I've been around music and musicians for many years... but I have never heard anything like this! You can actually "feel" this album! What other album can offer music that ranges from making you want to jump up and break things, (thanks Jim), to songs that you can't help but break out in goosebumps from the melodic piano and orchestra?
You'd be silly not to buy this album for yourself and all of your friends. They will thank you for it.
