awesome sound.......2006-11-19

I saw these guys live in nyc, and i was blown away by their powerful sound. There was a lot of energy and often anger channeled through their music, and it came through very clear. You could definitely feel the emotion they were trying to evoke. Check them out.

unique and inspirational.......2006-06-16

It is amazing how Aberdeen City sounds. The vocal's unique lyrics, and the icy guitar riffs send you to a different world. There are a couple of songs that stand out on this album, specifically album anchor "God Is Going To Get Sick Of Me", the mysterious lyrics of "In Combat" and "Another Seven Years". My personal favorite is "Sixty Lives".If you like U2, Radiohead, or the Strokes, its gun rock ur world.

Music with meaning!!!.......2006-01-20

I baught this cd on a whim. I listened and was blown away at the sound and substance of the music. Music with meaning, I can't say that about much music these days.

A good indie/pop rock album which is uneven overall - should be a satisfying purchase, though.......2006-01-06

Aberdeen City's "The Freezing Atlantic" has several hitworthy songs which are unfortunately hindered by the album's unevenness. These hitworthy tracks are arguably "Sixty Lives", "God Is Going To Get Sick Of Me", "Another Seven Years" and "In Combat". The singer tends to sound similar to bands of the same genre, but for some reason you can't pinpoint what bands. He IS good, though. Lyrically the songs aren't necessarily interesting, but they are indeed catchy (especially on those three tracks I mentioned). It's pretty standard fare musically, but the songs that are catchy are VERY catchy (they can definitely create a hook - the songs sound VERY similar to Interpol's style, though). Unfortunately, after the first four songs the album starts to get uneven. There are essentially only 6 good songs on the album, but the quality of those 4 hitworthy songs definitely bumps it up from a "3" to a "4". All in all I would recommend this album, though not "greatly".

Highlights include:
"Another Seven Years"
"Pretty Pet" (sort of)
"God Is Going To Get Sick Of Me"
"Sixty Lives"
"In Combat"
"Stay Still"
