Good CD but not their best.......2007-04-25

After reading all the reviews about The Crypt, I fully expected to love this album when I received it. However, after giving it a few listens, it leaves a lot to be desired.

It has a few good songs but many of them sound "muddy" with too much bass and not enough balance between the highs, lows and vocals. Some of the vocals are totally hard to hear and sung a little unevenly. In short, this CD doesn't sound like it was professionaly produced compared to Fear of a Red Planet and The Bitter End, which sound much better on my car stereo.

By comparison, Fear of a Red Planet has some really good songs with good lyrics that you can sing along with. I've found songs from that CD get stuck in my head long after I've stopped listening to the music, which is an indicator of how good the CD is.

So...I'd say this is a decent CD, but I think Red Planet and The Bitter End sound much more polished and complete by comparison.

A unique sound by an independent duo.......2004-01-08

I am not a huge fan of synth-pop, but these guys have a hold on me for some reason; on The Crypt they have put out a series of catchy tunes, a pretty (and pretty strong) 41 minutes of music. Red Flag is somewhere between the existentialism of "Click Click" (a fairly obscure band these days) and the sappiness of Depeche Mode. I would recommend this music to fans of either of those two bands; clubbers who are into EBM might even enjoy the tame sound of The Crypt. What i appreciate most about Red Flag is their DIY (do it yourself) philosophy, which often entails eccentric packaging of the CD.

Let me clear one thing up right now: This CD can hardly be called "dark" music when one considers the dozens of truly dark electronically-based groups available to choose from (e.g., velvet acid christ, skinny puppy, hocico, wumpscut, cruxshadows, kevorkian death cycle, android lust, dismantled, xorcist, in strict confidence, cenobita, etc.)

This CD is AWESOME!.......2003-03-30

I have two other Red Flag CDs: "Naive Art" and "Caveat Emptor", and this one is definitely my favourite!!! It is darker than the other two, but I think it is more interesting musically than their earlier CDs. I would highly recommend this cd, and if you only plan to buy one Red Flag CD, then this should be the one!

The Crypt Is Mesmerizing and Awesome!!.......2002-03-24

What an amazing and terrific album displayed by Red Flag! I love Mark's sexy and recognizable vocals!! The Reynolds brothers are totally awesome!! I have "Naive Art" and I absolutely love it! I love this album as well. My favs on here are "I See you", "The King of Everything", "Curtains", and "Heaven in Medias Res".I can't wait for the next cd, "Bitter End". I'm sure that will be amazing. GO RED FLAG!!!

Darker side of RED FLAG at its best................................2002-03-12

This is the defining RED FLAG album as they evolved into a new dark/synth sound that they are today. I am a big RED FLAG fan believe that CRYPT is one of their best albums yet. They have definatly changed their style from the synth-pop days of "Russian Radio" and "If I ever" but they are still all out electronic band as they have always been. There are very powerfull lyrics and music in this album and I have to say that is is much better than the later release of the "Fear of The Red Planet" that is similar but the lyrics and music is not as good as the ones on "CRYPT". This is a must have for all synth-pop, goth, EBM listeners.
