Egypt Central - Egypt Central [Remastered]
Hailing from Memphis, TN, Egypt Central have the raw talent that the Alternative Rock scene needs, and they are quickly gaining the recognition and respect they so deserve with their remastered, self-titled album. Roaring through radio stations across the country and XM and Sirius satellite channels is the first single, “You Make Me Sick,” with its massively thunderous sound and John Falls’ crooning voice that resembles that of AFI’s Davey Havok. “Over and Under” is another immensely popular song, and it’s much more upbeat, having lyrics that describe the breath of fresh air when one gets away from a stifling relationship: something anyone can relate to. “Leap of Faith” has a deeper tone and a wonderfully intense blend of crunchy guitars with smooth vocals, and then the bittersweet “Home,” with the perfectly complementary mix of acoustic guitars and melancholy lyrics, wraps the album up ever so neatly. There’s something for everyone in this album, and the remastered Egypt Central delivers the music with great quality. Five stars.

I agree good album. I think Leap of Faith is actually my favorite song off the album. But like I said before, it is entirely too short =( ..The CD only goes for about 40 minutes and then that’s it.. Anyway, good job on the review; And I look forward to reading more, here @ Music As A Metaphor. =)

Well I’d say it’s a good thing that you think it’s too short
There’s nothing worse than listening to a CD for the first time - really listening so that you get a fair idea of what the album is about - and waiting to FINALLY reach the end, eh?
Thanks for the kind words and support!
