Customer Reviews:

3 out of 5 stars Hope Of The States. The Lost Riots discovered........2004-09-27

Hope Of The States seems to be jumping on, or rather influenced by, this recent wave of thumping post-punk garage-rock-type bands, although more darker and cinematic sounding. 'Lost Riots' opens with the stunning 'The Black Amnesias', an interesting blend of Godspeed You Black Emperor's orchestral rock and post-punk guitars. The rest of the CD maintains a dreamy, dense, spikey sound, The Rapture-esque rhythms and riffs, and experimental/orchestral noodling falling somewhere in between Broken Social Scene and Godspeed You Black Emperor. As if there are not enough twists, thrown into the post-punk meets orchestral rock mix are Raine Maida-type vocals, almost bordering on pop-punk-type vocals. 'Lost Riots' could be described as The Rapture meets Muse, grandiose as it is edgey, sonic as it is ominous.
