HERE IS A REVIEW for JANE DOE:
"But 'Jane Doe', Converge's final release for the small Equal Visions Records, is one such album, the unhinged and menacing guitars that open first track 'Concubine' providing a small taste of the threatening forty-five minute long onslaught that will follow, before giving way to the trademark cacophonous noise that Converge have perfected over their years.
You see, Converge quite simply aren't much like any other band, nor can any band whose music is of comparable esotericism boast either brutality of this kind of subtle precision, or an army of devotees (fans just isn't a strong enough word in this case) of this adherance. In short, it's near impossible to think of another band who could possibly have written this record, or indeed any like it.
What's probably most remarkable about 'Jane Doe' is the way in which the din's relentlessness is such that the essential components are near constant and almost without any rest - you have frontman Jacob Bannon's high pitched, quintessentially and ultimately heartfelt vocals, backed by what can only be described as an ever-present, twisted and often disturbing wall of noise that is created by Kurt Ballou (guitar), Nate Newton (bass) and Ben Koller (drums). However, it couldn't be much less the case that 'Jane Doe' is monotonous: its forever evolving, utterly staggering creativity is enough to keep things more than interesting. One thing's for sure: this most certainly ain't for the faint hearted. And indeed, it is most certainly not for everyone. In fact it's for very few. But for those few that can look beyond the ugliness and rough inaccessibility that must initially strike first time listeners, there is a beautiful, multi-layered and infinitely rewarding masterpiece at work here, albeit one that does not reveal itself to be such at the first play."
AND HERE IS ONE FOR PETITIONING THE EMPTY SKY:
Regarded by many to be the pioneers of metalcore, Converge are a band like none other. They blend metal and hardcore with technical riffage to make the definitive sound they will always be known for. Their second true full-length release, Petitioning The Empty Sky, defined metalcore and heavy music to come way back in 1996, and is thought by some to be their best release to this day.
Petitioning begins with "The Saddest Day", which is appropriately the best song on the album and arguably the greatest song Converge have ever done. If you must listen to a Converge song, listen to this one, because they don't come any better. Amazing breakdown, awesome vocals, killer riffs. What a way to start an album. Listen. Now.
The tracks that follow "The Saddest Day" may not overtake the afore-mentioned juggernaut, but they sure as hell try. "Forsaken" almost feels like a reprise of "Saddest" at points, and that's certainly not a bad thing. Jake's vocals have already broken in the album by the second track, and man are they killer. His screeches are unyieldingly powerful, and his "singing" is... debatable. When Jake sings, usually there are backing vocals shadowing the same notes, and of course they are out of tune. It sounds intentional to me and I would suggest that it is, because it certainly is creepy as opposed to beautiful, which is fitting following his screeching.
Not mentioning the guitars that are tearing across these tracks would be a misstep as well. They shift seamlessly from pounding palm-muting to high technical lines. I especially like them on "Shingles" as the album goes on, though it's often not considered a signature Converge track. "Farewell Note To This City" and "Color Me Blood Red" close out the original tracks and are a fantastic end to the record. Hey, "Farewell Note" is actually pretty! Of course, "Color Me Blood Red" shreds that to pieces with the intro riff, but it's not hard to see that coming.
PLEASE BID ONLY IF YOU INTENT TO ACTUALLY PAY. THANK YOU.
