Review:
Guitar World named Worship and Tribute one of the top ten screamo albums of all time and, being the screamo fan that I am, I had to pick up this CD. Daryl Palumbo was also featured on one the Finch CD What It Is to Burn. I imagined that they would probably be a lot like Finch and I was right. They have some differences such as longer, spacier tracks, different guitar, slightly different vocals, but still that sing to scream vocal style. The first track, "Tip Your Bartender" is a chaotic mess of crazy screaming vocals and thunderous guitars. The CD continues with "Mu Empire," which is a bit less chaotic but still very spacy. Well, the tracks continue in this fashion, more on the emo side but they do through a "hardcore" screaming track in now and then. There are some very interesting guitar effects and Daryl does some amusing stuff with his voice. At the end of one song, he does an impression of a race track announcer and talks with amazing speed. At the end of another track, we here a answering machine with the message, "Hello. Just calling to see if your still alive." And the final track, "Two Tabs of Mescaline," ends with the drums slowing down while every 10 seconds Daryl jolts you awake by screaming "Sailor Scent!" And just when you think the CD is over and the music has ended, "Sailor scent!" I haven't listened to this CD to many times because I wasn't that impressed with it. Perhaps I expected too much. But the tracks seem to go on a bit to long and none of the tunes really stay in your mind. Still, its quite a funky CD and one that is very enjoyable. Top Ten material? I don't think so.
Decided to modify my review a bit.
Tip Your Bartender- Like I said, a chaotic mess of overdriven guitars, funky effects, thick, pounding bass and screaming vocals. A pretty powerful but weird album opener. 4 out of 5
Mu Empire- I had heard this song on Warped Tour 2003 and found it pretty likeable. This song is also pretty chaotic with yelling vocals are followed up by soothing ones and the song has many different parts in it which is good. Once again the dueling overdriven guitar backed by the wildely distorted effects of Justin Beck. The album keeps its momentum. 4 out of 5
Cosmopolitan Bloodloss- Starts out like another hard song but as the chorus comes rolling in we hear melodic vocals backed by an entangling bassline. This chorus was one of the melodies that stayed with me and I find myself humming it often. 4 out of 5
Ape Dos Mil- This tracks starts out very slow and spacy with echoing guitars and we are soon greeted by Daryl's melodic vocals. The chorus picks up a bit with Daryl yelling accompanied by a killer bassline and a spacy lead guitar riff. 4 out of 5
Pink Roses- The CD takes a turn towards the hardcore side with "Pink Roses" which gives us crunching guitar and thick bass. The chorus is a bit reminscent of the previous song, very spacy. The song ends with Daryl frantically screaming slash laughing. 3 out of 5
Must've Run All Day- The CD once again goes spacy on us with this soft, weird track. The bassline and drums wrap us up as we hear Daryl's echo around us. The song continues in this fashion for 5 minutes and leads right into the pounding "Stuck Pig." 3 out of 5
Stuck Pig- The CD goes hardcore once again with the equally chaotic "Stuck Pig." Daryl goes from frantically yelling the vocals to shouting and almost growling them with a strange deep voice. The song then turns soft again with a catchy lead guitar line. The song ends abruptly and we hear what appears to be an old recording of a violin and man singing. Strange. 4 out of 5
Radio Cambodia- This song speeds off immediately with Daryl's quick vocals which are followed by an distorted, melodic guitar line that dances within Daryl's chorus vocals. The bridge has Daryl's singing a high pitched vocal line and then runs back into the catchy chorus bit and finishes with two voices singing back and forth. 4 out of 5
The Gillette Cavalcade of Sports- This track starts out very spacy and soon Daryl's voice comes in singing his cryptic vocals, accompanied by an awesome bassline. Then comes a bass heavy chorus with Daryl jittering between singing and yelling. This continues for about three and half minutes and then Daryl begans talking extremely fast in a race announcer voice. "It's the last stretch. And my heart.. my heart stays in the lead. And we see first, second behind my heart is my mind, Third behind my mind is my body, Fourth behind my body is my soul and my heart stays in the lead. Coming around the stretch. That was a good one Bob." Strange indeed. The song finishes with Daryl singing "Home is where the heart is, one the bus!" over and over and an answering machine which says something like "Just calling to see if your still alive." An extremely cryptic track that could be the best on the album. 5 out of 5
Trailer Park Jesus- Another spacy track that has the usual soft verse followed by a hard chorus. Not much to say about this track. 3 out of 5
Two Tabs of Mescaline- A powerful closer. A crunching track starting with a catchy intro followed by a distorted bassline. We immediately know this is going to be a powerful one. As the verse ends, Daryl yells and then screams frantically. The song ends as the drums progressively get slower and Daryl screams Sailor Scent over and over, jolting us each time. A very good album ender. 5 out of 5
This album has started to grow one me but once again, it is definitely not top ten material. I would like to pick up Everything You Need To Know About Silence and will look forward to Glassjaw's next release.
The Good: Amazing Basslines, funky, melodic lead guitar riffs, wide variety of tracks and vocals, cryptic lyrics
The Bad: CD can't decide where its going, incosistency, not many catchy tracks
Score: 3.6 out of 5
If you like, you'll like: Finch, Poison the Well, Alien Ant Farm, Every Time I Die

Nah, it's not that great a CD. Overrated as all hell. I like Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Silence much better. I hate to break it to you man.....they're not screamo, Guitar World has the definition of screamo all wrong.....nor is Finch...or Poison the Well..
PS. GlassJAw like Finch? What's in your pipe?

This is one of the worst reviews I've ever read. He's screaming "Salior Scent." They're not screamo, they're post-hardcore. They sound nothing like Finch. I don't think you have the capacity to fathom this album and that's why you find it to be not a Top 10 album. I will write a real review and post it in here.

Screamo is very chaotic, but it goes beyond that. Just because music is chaotic doesn't mean it's screamo. I mean, take Cannibal Corpse, they're one of the most chaotic bands out there and they're about as far from screamo as you can get. Screamo is one of those genres you have to hear a good amount from before you can truly distinguish it.

Glassjaw is a good example of how a band can be really good, but the singer can manage to ruin everything with his really annoying voice.

Incredible album. Trailer Park Jesus is a beautiful song. I would agree EYEWTAS is the better album. I mean it had Piano and Siberian Kiss.
The review was decent. Probably should paragraph the actual review part. The comparasion to Finch I don't really see. Daryls voice is too different and they have better musicianship.
Great album though. One of my collections best. 4.5/5

04-27-2004, 07:13 AM
I agree with BuddyBigs. It's a good album but no where near as good as EYEWTKAS. The sheer emotion that Daryl conveys through EYEWTKAS is amazing and really hits you. Well it hits me anyway and thats all that matters.
But as I said this is still a good album and I'd give it a 4/5

It doesn't strike me as emotional at all. It feels quite clear that he's deliberately trying to be all over the register and change his tone constantly, as if he's interested in having his own dynamic. I can't stand it.
I can't fault the band's musicianship, though.

Even if it sounds deliberate, it's a style I like. I think it produces an end result that sounds good. It's insane. So am I. Wait until you hear the band Seedlock. That's possibly the most overdone singing ever.

Listen to Circle Takes the Square, Pageninetynine, Kite Flying Society, or Kaospilot, and tell me with a straight ****ing face that that is not chaotic. ****, a lot of screamo even borders on being grind!!!

Nice title, though. At least he's listening to some good grind/math metal (Converge, I take it). Still, it seems that's the only genre he's been on par with lately.

Wow I had heard some of Crestfallen's old fun metalcore and the stuff on Robotic Empire is nothing like that. They've turned completely screamo and it's really odd. I'm not grooving to pageninetynine that much yet. I'm downloading Crowpath too. I have no luck with Kaospilot and Kite Flying Society.
BuddyBigsby
04-29-2004, 06:30 PM
I haven't heard Crestfallen yet, every download I've gotten of them messes up. I'll make more of a point of it, though. Crowpath are awesome. If you search "Kaospilot mp3" in Google you'll get a few songs. Kite Flying Society were just some independent screamo band out of Florida, I'm not even sure they're still around. I went to their website the other day, and it hasn't been updated in a very long time. I downloaded their songs way back in the day off of mp3.com, so I'd imagine their music would be pretty hard to find.

Don't test me on screamo. I've listen to all of those bands. It's Pg99 by the way. KFS is from my area.

Pg. 99 and pageninetynine are both used. I use Pg. 99 more often, but I also use pageninetynine. Depends on my mood. Robotic Empire's website even spells it out as "pageninetynine".
Yes, grind is chaotic... more chaotic than screamo. Just because Grind is more chaotic doesn't mean screamo isn't chaotic. I didn't say it's the MOST chaotic thing out there, because it's definitely not.

If it really were Pg99, you'd think that the Robotic Empire website and mp3 site would spell it that way, huh? Yes, grind is more spaztic. Bigsby was merely saying that some screamo can be similar to grind. That doesn't mean he's asserting that screamo has a higher degree of chaos or anything like that. Personally, because I wasn't looking for errors in his post, I noticed that his argument was that screamo can be pretty intense and reach up the chaos of grind but never quite achieve it. We all know grind is more spazzy. That is obvious. I wish you had the ability to read English properly. You are the idiot. Case closed.

No no, Cb's right on this one. I mean, CTTS sound just like those bands. Listen to the all the artsy guitars and poetic elements in WoJ. Vendetta Red? Psh, sometimes I hear one of those poppy choruses in CTTS and instantly think Vendetta Red. As for Death By Stereo... seriously, do the two-step and skanking parts and the "wooooahs" ever stop in CTTS?

I'm just saying that I don't see how Circle Takes the Square is called "real screamo" while bands like Vendetta Red and Thursday aren't. What makes them screamo? Buddy, you claimed that it was because it's very "chaotic." I don't find it to be any more chaotic than some hardcore bands out there.

Circle Takes the Square is real screamo because it is derived of and is of the style of screamo. Emo spawned screamo around 1990 with bands like Heroin and Clikitat Ikatowi in San Diego. Circle Takes the Square is of that same genre. It's defined by fast intense drumming and high-pitched screaming (or yelping sometimes) with a mix of riffs and chords that usually span the registers of the instruments and include dissonance. Also there are quiet parts that usually have arpeggiation and hushed singing. Hardcore bands may be just as chaotic but they are derived from punk and metal. Hardcore punk focuses on lots of fast chord and shouted vocals. Hardcore focuses on heavy power chords with riffs and heavy breakdowns where everybody goes to throw down in the pit on. Very different styles.
cbmartinez
05-19-2004, 01:47 PM
Yeah, thats the origins of screamo though. Wouldn't bands like Vendetta Red be considered as modern screamo?
DFelon204409
05-19-2004, 02:14 PM
No they wouldn't because Circle Takes the Square formed in 2000. They're modern and they're also screamo, hence them being modern screamo and not Vendetta Red. And there's the case that once the sound changes too much, it's no longer the same genre. Some people call Story of the Year emo but when compared to Circle Takes the Square, there's a world of difference. Circle Takes the Square makes Story of the Year look like Maroon 5. Vendetta Red, like Story of the Year, also isn't virulent enough to be screamo. They're pretty weak if I remember correctly. I shall d/l and report back with a genre, sir. Any song suggestions?

Yeah man, it's chaotic, but as I've said before that's not the only ****ing thing that makes screamo what it is. Cryptopsy are chaotic and they're about as screamo as they are Japanese-Synth-Pop. Screamo also has an underlying sense of beauty, artsiness (most notable in the guitar playing), poetic lyrics, and it sounds like the band is going to fall apart at any given second... much like 80's hardcore punk.

GENRE WAR!!!!!
In all seriousness who cares about the genre. Anyway having this album for a few months I feel I can comment on it more now. I still think EYEWTKAS is better but the more I listen to this album the better it becomes. Daryl pushes alot more emotion in his voice than any bands that are similiar to Glassjaws style of music (Yes I can see the similarity to Finch or Thursday, though Glassjaw is alot more unique than these bands). The problem with the album is that there isn't enough standout tracks and some things don't work. Must've Run All Day would be the best example.Bland and boring. There are outstanding moments though, the intro and outro of the album are great. Songs like Cosmopolitan Bloodloss, Tip Your Bartender and Mu Empire at the begining and in the outro The Gillete Cavalcade of Sports (Review nailed it spot on here it is the best Glassjaw song ever IMO), Trailer Park Jesus and Two Tabs Of Mesculine. Let down by a somewhat uninspired middle stint.
4/5

Those are probably the 2 "lightest" songs on the album. I think Glassjaw did a good job of putting a variety of songs on this cd. Those being your lighter songs, song like "Tip your bartender", "Pink Roses" and "Stuck Pig" being your heavier songs. Then you have some songs that could almost, not quite, but almost be considered pop-rock. Songs like "Cosmoplitan Bloodloss" and "Radio Cambodia".
Ape Dos Mil is one of those most popular Glassjaw songs out there. I recomend picking up the cd, as long as you like Daryls voice, the music is hard not to like.
cbmartinez
06-25-2004, 11:53 AM
Yeah, what Cambodia said. Those are softer songs. Read the song descriptons in my review and download Two Tabs of Mescaline and Tip Your Bartender to see Glassjaw's harder side.

No. SOTY is pop punk and The Used and Thursday are emo/core.
And if you want REAL screamo then listen to bands like Saetia. Pg. 99 is f u c k i n g grind and will always be f u c k i n g grind.
By the way, The Agony scene still aren't a Christian band, moron. So I think you lost that battle as well, buddy.

Have a good f u c k i n g day. :thumb:
Alove, you're racing up the charts to be the stupidest poster I've encountered on these boards, and this is after that xdeadtomorrowx guy.
1. I do listen to Saetia. In fact, I was just listening to them 2 songs ago on my playlist.
2. Pg. 99 definitely are way more grind influenced than the majority of screamo bands - as I've said on many occasions on this board - and their sound tweeked throughout their career (I mean listen to a song like "Comedy of Christ", it has clean singing. Not something I would label as screamo). Listen to "In Love With an Apparition" and tell me that is not screamo. I beg of you. Napalm Death are grind. Agoraphobic Nosebleed are grind. **** On the Beach are grind. Pig Destroyer are grind. You think Pg. 99 sound like any of those bands and you deserve to be slapped. But hell, don't take my word for it. Go look up nearly any bio or article on Pg. 99 and you'll hear how they were one of the most influential screamo bands around.
3. I already explained what I meant about Agony Scene being Christian, and you agreed. Hell, even a guy that actually works at Solid State records who iinterviewed the band before they got signed came in and said that they were a Christian band when he signed them.
Stop trying to be smart kid, because it's seriously not working for you.

Okay, first of all, stop thinking you now every f u c k i n g thing there is to know about music. You don't. So just stop. Now.
Second, you can think whatever whatever the hell you want about grind. It's your opinion and I don't give a care about it. The only thing I can do is beg to differ because of how highly I disagree with you.
Lastly, my old band used to have a deal with Solid State, so I have met and personally talked to almost every band on that label. Including The Agony Scene.
Bye.

Oh, and you are indeed, truly pathetic. Get a life and stop posting on this message board trying to prove to everyone how much you DON'T know about music.
Just a suggestion. :thumb:

I definitely don't know everything about music and I never said I did. In fact, my knowledge of music is pretty limited. If you're going to insist on Pg.99 being grind, then give support to your claim. Give examples. So far you have not, so I have no reason to believe you or even respect your opinion.
The Agony Scene: Well, if when you've spoken to them they've specifically told you they are not a Christian band well then there's obviously not much to dispute. Why didn't you just say that in the first place? And since I'm wrong here, please help me out so I'm not wrong in the future: If they're a secular band, how'd they go about getting signed to a Christian record label?

Wow, you took that better than I thought.
I didn't ask them how they got signed to Solid State, I just asked them to clear my confusion up whether they were a Christian band or not.

Buddy Bigsby is winning 43-32 right now. I await a retort.

Glassjaw is a good example of how a band can be really good, but the singer can manage to ruin everything with his really annoying voice.
shutup, daryl palumbo has an amazing voice

You're correct that they're not screamo.

I got this CD as a free promo. At first, I hate it. It has since grown on me.

For some reason I like Trailer Park Jesus a lot. I also like Daryl's voice better in here than in EYWTKAS.

i dont think glassjaw is screamo, maybe they could pass as screamo in EYEWTKAS but this album is not screamo at all, good review though, i specially like tip your bartender and ape dos mil, the enhaced video for ape dos mil that comes in the cd is actually pretty cool.

I am listening to this album now, I must say it's quite enjoyable. The vocals can be a little annoying sometimes but overall it's pretty good for this sort of music.

Yes, I was quite a nooblet when I called this album screamo and my reivew is pretty crappy, but thanks anyway.
Looking back, I realize that Dfelon was absolutely right. When I bought this album, I truly wasn't musically mature enough to fathom it's beauty. I've grown to love it though I still believe there are flaws with this album.
