I thought I added a comment to this? :-/

Anyway, what I wanted to say here was : "I've seen these guys live, they were decent, but nothing amazing"

I'll keep this in mind though, nice review, to the point.

My friends saw them live and said it was amazing, but then again, we don't have the best musical taste in the world.

Sounds interesting. I'll check them out.

What genre would you classify these guys as?

Very short review. Whether that's a compliment or an insult is up to you.

I would say they are melodic metal.

Yeah, haha, I'm not the best with words so I keep it short. As long as I get to the meat I don't see a big problem with it.

Wow, I thought that was a really good review. Short, but interesting and really got the point across. I love this band, and this is a pretty good album.

If your friends are talking about the Chain show... they were indeed amazing.

HSB's Antigone owns

i really liked senseless fight (#5)

anders did a good job producing this record
anyone know if he has produced anything else?

i may have to check them out. i love melodic metal.

Album Rating: 4

I thought this was a good album. Really liked the way they used clean vocals.

...perhaps the review could have been more detailed and longer...

Album Rating: 4

About the genre...I've heard them classified as deathcore. Not sure if that is accurate but melodic metal would work also.

caliban reminds me alot of haste the day. i dont know, but to me, they're similiar. i really like both these bands. and the clean vocals are pretty good as well.

saw em live , amazing , one guitarist does the singing parts and in sound chekc you can tell his guitar is put waaaay lower then the main guitar who does most of the riffage, i give this album almost 9/10 for originality , calibans been in the metal scene for awhile and havent really gave up on thier heaviness , i mean ya they sing but its either fits realllly well where screams would not or the singing isnt too long , it really bums me out when bands like everytime i die get noticed by their heaviness in thier VERY first recordings *exp ,last night in town, The Burial Plot Bidding war* and totaly sell out into alot mellower sound mainstream record, something caliban has strayed from and remain true to their roots

Album Rating: 4.5

Caliban are a great metalcore band, they could easily compare to Killswitch but they've got a long way to go. I seriously see them going places. I would give this album anything from a 4.5 to a 4.8. It's not a perfect 5 but it's almost. I bought the undying darkness the other day and that's a whole different story....

Album Rating: 4

kinda sucky review, barely any detail.

This album is fun though.

Beloved And Hatred is a really catchy song, i can't stop listening to it...

really short review, it's to the point but not analytical enoguh

Digging: Radiohead - OK Computer

Album Rating: 3.5

This band rules harder than Satan. Just kidding, not quite but good, solid metalcore. Still want to acquire their new album but this is my favorite so far.

Digging: Venetian Snares/Hecate - Nymphomatriarch

Album Rating: 3.5

band is great live imo

Digging: Rose Funeral - The Resting Sonata

ALBUM RATING 3.0
I DO LIKE THE BRIEF moments of atmosphere that pop up and while I absolutely cannot stand his whiney sounding shrieks I do find some of the cleanly sung passages to be memorably executed the best being the single off of the album.Guitairs and riffs are way too generic and repetitive in various songs and seem to make it go by in one long blur instead of a solid structure.
