Prodcut Description: [More Information ...] There's something genuinely interesting about (hed) Planet Earth. Rather than simply singing about being different, they actually attempt to break from convention. That spirit is what makes Blackout a fascinating album. Though nearly all the 14 tracks kick off into a metal frenzy at some point, they're wildly varied in their pace and feel. "Crazy Life," begins with sinister Wu-Tang keyboards, then rips into a raucous chorus, before a hard-hitting rap about sex on the road leads to a screaming rock crescendo. "Flesh and Bone" features vocalist Jahred conjuring lost souls at midnight crossroads, while the shuffling "Other Side" is cushioned by a soft 1970s haze. Elsewhere pop, soul, reggae, and folk slip into the mix, making the band's histrionic outbursts all the more effective. Jahred's lyrics, too, are above the norm, if a bit too self-focused. --Dominic Wills

Reviews:
Awesome - the best (Hed) PE album on market. I really like the various styles of the album, e.g. Half the man, Other Side, Flesh and Bone, Dangerous, Suck it up, ... It's not BROKE, but you can buy this one! While not as impressive as their breakout 'Broke' (no not their debut, but the CD that got them noticed) 'Blackout' is still a really good album. The opener gets you right into the CD with Jahreds ranting "Suck it up" but it's songs like 'DANGEROUS' and 'ONLY ONE' that really get the party started, and the rap oriented 'CRAZY LIFE' that show you their versatility. My favorite track here is 'OTHER SIDE' which is just that, the other side to this band. The song is melodic and cushioned with that 70's rock vibe, but it works on SO many levels. 'CARNIVALE' is probably the most standoutish song here, with the circus music in the backdrop and the eerie vocals it just kicks major @$$ as serves as a unique venture into uncharted territory for the boys of the (hed)...'BLACKOUT' while being the single and the title track, is not my favorite choice and is somewhat dissapointing. 'HALF THE MAN' is great and 'FALLEN' is as well...'OCTOPUSSY' is ehhh and the closer 'REVELATIONS' while not terrible is nothing special and should have been swapped with 'CARNIVALE' which is truly their most unique song on the album and is usually where I turn off the album anyways...Great follow-up even if it's not as good as the predecesor. once in a great while this album makes my cd changer. I do like this band, but not as much as the other things i listen to(read my other reviews). This album is very quirky. I can only get hooked on the tracks Half the Man, and Carnivale. I think this band had a lot of potential. This album seems very unorganized in my opinion. I think they need a lyrical structure that is uniform and fits together. They can play (not really in my opinion as a killer musician), and they just need some solid ground. I only like to listen to this album once in a great while. Check it out. You be the Judge. great album from an awesome band hed pe has been one of my favorates after the song "get away" was featured on NASCAR Thunder 2003. The standout tracks are well, ummm, ALL OF EM. Hedpe is very consitent troughout the entire album. a pick up for nu-metal or metal fans. Awesome Originally I was not introduced to (hed) Planet Earth until I had gone to a concert with the bands: Saliva, Stereomud, Systematic, and (hed)PE and the concert was amazing it was the best concert I have ever been to and the music was so amazing that the next day I went out to buy these bands albums. As I went through the album I was like they played that and it was awesome, I guess there are different ways to listen to an album, great cd i recommend this cd to anyone who likes heavy rock |
