Customer Reviews:

highly impressive debut album from a band that's bound for big success.......2006-06-22

Can't say too much that hasn't already been said by other reviewers, but I bought this album after reading a good review of it in a local music magazine in Australia and I'm so glad I did.

For a debut album this is amazingly impressive, as the song writing is of very high caliber. It's had to label TBE simply as hard rock or metal, because there's a lot going on on this album, from almost operatic-like vocals to strings and ambience on certain songs. Sure there's the obvious Tool, Deftones and Perfect Circle comparisons, but to say they just sound like a melding of those bands would be far too limiting for them.

If you like modern rock with intelligence, and radio-friendly hooks without comprimising heaviness, then check this album out. You won't be disappointed.

Oh and if you like this album, check out their recently released follow up IMAGO, which from my first impressions is also on par with Begins Here.

Superb.......2006-01-04

I wonder what it was that inspired me to pick up this album. I had hear nothing of the band previously, I can't imagine that the cover art appealed to me and I knew nothing of the chaos theory so I didn't know what The Butterfly Effect was exactly. So, here I was, in Sanity with 50 bucks to spend and for some reason I spent 20 of that on this album.

The first time I heard it, what can I say, I was conflicted. I had no idea what to think about it. I like the familiar metal/rock hooks but their sound was so... gloomy and the the lead singer's voice was a little creepy. I didn't know what to think. I kept it off for a little while, but I listened to it again later and it started to grow on me. The music was haunting and beautiful, while at the same time angry and heavy. Their sound is so original and brilliant that there is no point in me even attempting to explain it.

VERY highly reccomended.

I'm super-mega-happy-deluxe that i bought this cd.......2004-12-05

Okay. Here's my little story of how I stumbled onto this incredible cd. I was walking around a little co-op in Boston Spa (that's a tiny country village in England and no one knows it exists) when I came across a metal magazine called metal hammer. It offered a free cd and since I'm rather skint I decided to buy it. Well it was a great compilation of tracks by bands like 36 crazyfists, in flames, H.I.M etc. Anyway so I'm on the bus enjoying the music when all of a sudden this song comes on that totally stands out from every other track. It was a holy moment, my friend. I was determined to find out who this band was, having found out that this brilliant little ditty was called perception twin. I searched maniacally on the net and found out that the people responsible were a little unknown Australian band called a Butterfly Effect. So I had the name and off I went round every cd shop in Leeds. No dice. `Who', the shop clerk would spout, eyeing the line of impatient costumers behind me. So I looked on amazon.co.uk, nope still no luck (its on now though, sods law). I finally logged on the amazon.com as my last resort and low and behold there it was for 27 dollars (which is lot for me). I didn't even hesitate. When it finally made its way from Australia to America to England I was totally siked. I popped it into my cd player and... loved every track. Normally have certain favourites but I can tell you that I love absolutely every track. No skipping. Someone stated that they weren't impressed with the instrumental tracks (1, 7 & 13). Well if you put the cd on repeat the tracks 13 and 1 meld together, so it's like a never-ending cycle. Anyway I got this cd over a year ago and have nearly worn it to death. I still adore it and I can't say that with many other cds I have bought. This cd is special to me. The lyrics are deep but not ridiculously so, just really good and introspective. Have a look on the net and you'll find them. To me, lyrics are an integral part of my enjoyment and in this case the lyrics definitely do not disappoint. I have heard some comparisons to tool and deftones. Well firstly I think Clint Boge sings much better then Maynard period (I'm going to get it now, he he). They sound much better then tool (don't hurt me tool fans) and deftones (ditto to deftones fans). Okay lets just say that deftones and tool pale in comparison, but hey I might be biased. They sound a bit like a perfect circle (Mer de Noms, not their latest excrement) in the way that they are epic and the masters of mood. Hey my little story seems to have exploded. Lets cut it short here. Buy this cd, marvel at it and spread the word!!!

You must buy this album.......2004-09-23

The Butterfly Effect TBE as they are effecttionately known are absolutely superb I bought this album on a whim when I heard they are supporting Breed77 on the UK leg of their tour and I was truly converted what a fantastic diverse sounding band you can here every word that's sung and the whole package is incredible if you like Tool, Perfect Circle then you will love this I can't say anymore than that but you must buy this CD you will not be disappointed as they are so talented and up there.
