Keep Telling Myself It's Alright
Date undefinedevery, and I mean EVERY, song is good to amazing. If I had to choose a favorite, right now it would be the Sword. It was Forever Can Be, Ritual, Enemies, Too Late, Stripped Away. This is definitely my favorite album of 2008. Billy's got a great voice, this album deserves more recognition.

Date undefinedThe first song I ever heard from ASHES dIVIDE was The Stone, but listening through the album for the first time the song that jumped out and instantly became "mine" was Enemies, it simply wraps you up in sound, creating a whole new world for the listener.
In total ASHES dIVIDE has made a rock solid album, lead on by Billy Howedal's amazing vocals. The strings and pinao opening of the Sword is beauiful, and the lyrics are of the kind that makes you stop and listen.
Currently touring the USA, we can only hope they will move over to Europe too eventually. I highly reccommend you buy the album and take part in the new leve of brilliance from Billy Howerdal.

Keep Telling Myself It's Alright
Date undefinedI first heard this band just before going to an STP show that they were opening up for. When I first heard the CD prior to the show, I wasn't very impressed, dismissing them as an acceptable opening band.
After hearing them live, and listening to the CD a few more times, this album really grew on me. The songs really have some depth, both musically & lyrically, and each time I listen to them they just get better.
Anyone dismissing Billy Howerdel's first solo effort as weak follow-up to A Perfect Circle, or saying that it's not as edgy as that effort clearly hasn't listened to this album. Billy has done a great job on vocals within the context of the music, and it's unfair to dismiss his vocal abilities compared to Maynard's (VERY FEW people could compare to that in this genre of music). Take this for what it is without comparing it to anything else: a great rock album with some real substance.
I can't wait till ASHES dIVIDE starts working on their next one!
