Post em...if you dare!


Here is my review of my favs...

My favorites at the moment are as follows....

“I Killed You”<br>
This song is so complex, the reality is almost twisted from the killers point of view. the vocals are just amazing, mainly for Sebastian is so diverse in his range, and of how many levels there are. It almost turns into a ballad at the end, but mainly this song is a great work of art. Astonishing!

*****

“This Is Gonna Hurt”

Holy Cow. When I heard the demo for this song I was blown away. Now to hear the full version, its just incredibly powerful, You just have to hear this one for yourself! Kudos on Henning's writing style here, I enjoyed this song immensely.

*****

“In An Empty Room”

Sebastians vocals really are showcased in this song. Especially the end...it's almost if crying wasn't enough, singing wasn't enough, shouting wasn't enough, but Sebastians voice pulled it off. It's almost a choir of Sebastians' at the end. If that many Sebastians did exist...boy...I would be happy! It gave me chills definitly.
I feel like I haven't said enough. But when a song hits you that hard...you really have nothing to say.

*****

“What Kind Of Animal”<br>
I could listen to this song every day for the rest of my life. Extremely powerful emotion going on here. If you have kids or even if you don't, you will adore the magnitude that Sebastian's voice emanates on this track. His dynamic melodies and prudent voice control are almost superhuman as the song goes on. By the end of this track, you will be struck speechless.

*****

"Blade"

I heard this track and at first I really didn't like it...then it grew on me....more and more...and now I can't get enough of it! it's insane....makes you wanna grab a sword for ROCK!

My Thoughts.

1.Favorite Song is I killed You
The Song has a Sick Twisted Power
that Sends Chills Through My Bones.

2.Blade This Song Shows the Growth

girl The Song Makes me think of her.

4.Miseducation is The Modern Youth Gone Wild!

5.This is gonna hurt Another sick song
with a 2005 Twist to Baz , Expect More of This.


6.Human Grain,Love The opening
with Hotel California(is that Baz?)
This is a Heavy Song That Has a Clasical
almost Synphony Opening. The Song Rocks

7. Just One More Should be the 1st singel
this song will bring the Radio listeners
by the Dozen

8. In an Empty Room continues the
great Power Ballad legacy of Sebastian's Voice
along with the Great clasics Like Wasted Time,In a Darkened Room 18 & Life ,Ouick Sand Jesus

9. Out Cast has a Pop Sound with
a Straight forward Message saying Watch
out Who You F*@#k With!

10.Push The Button is another Cool song
with some catchy Words & Cool Guitar Work.

11.When I look into my eyes, the Victam
gets to speak & sounds as if They felt
so much pain That they are starting to like it=-)

12. How Long Can I Resist
Before I say this is the Best Cd of 2005
It is Linkin Park,Meets King Dimond
Meets the Greatist Singer In Metal
SEBASTIAN BACH!

This Cd is Some of Sebastian's Best work.
It shows how he has Grown as a Vocalist
This has Heavy Metal Broad Way Prog

Baz ,Henning Pauly & Eddie Marvin
Did a Great Job I hope they can get past this
Road Block & work together again.

I know Baz is Gonna Make Sure his Next
CD is Even Better. He has had Some
Great Guy's in the Band I can't wait
to Here Alway's & Never The Same

Well Thats My Thoughts
They all did a Great Job.

Baz sounds amazing on this album. I've never heard him sound better. He blew me away. The songs are just as amazing. I would have to say this was the best release in at least 15 years. Everyone I play this cd to is blown away. Henning really brought the best out of Baz, cause he can fucking sing!

Favorite songs >

1 In An Empty Room - [/color] "I can see you hiding behind broken eyes, it will be fine please dont cry you will be ok in time, I can see you living inside scared and blind I am right here please dont hide close your eyes my child"

I know the true meaning of this song, but I can relate to it differently. My best friend lost part of her vision in an accident and is partly blind. I think of her when I hear that chorus. A real touching song. I wonder what it would have sounded like with a 12 string playing the banjo parts.

Human Grain - Great opener. Has balls to it. I crank this fucker up.

I killed You - A beautiful song about murder from a crime of passion. I love all the harmonies during the lines...I cant believe its true, What youve done and what Id do, For my revenge to get back at you, But the beast in me would follow through

I also love the ending with the lead guitar...All thats left to do is to sing you one more song, To stare into my gun

This Is Gonna Hurt - Another killer heavy tune. I dig the funky bass and keyboards. I crank this fucker up too.

Miseducation - Another hard rockin' tune. I think the "football team" backup vocals during "This is it - Raise your fist - Cant resist - Hit by Hit" should have been just Baz singing them parts. Love the harmony of the chorus > Mis-Ed-U-Ca-Tion....Mis-Ed-U-Ca-Tion. I crank this fucker up too.

Just One More - Another hard rocking tune. I crank this fucker up too.

Outcast - Another great rocking tune. I crank this fucker up as well.

Blade - This song gets the blood pumping. It feels like they're going to war. Great stuff.

Push The Button - Another rocking track.

I don't care about the internal conflict about some of the lyrics. All I know is that this cd is an amazing cd that kicks my ass and that's good enough for me. Personally, I'd like to see Baz and Henning patch things up and make some more killer music. These two have musical chemistry which is rare in the buisness.

My rating > 10/10

Cheers Baz to a great release!

My review on the Amazon website (even though the title of the album is wrong :


This is an absolutely brilliant piece of work from the Bach-Pauly collaboration. The album is refined, defined and a truly musical masterpiece. Bach shines like never before with his vocals soaring and carrying the intricate guitar through each and every song. His finale on 'In An Empty Room' has him hitting notes higher than I have ever heard! Whilst the anthemic rock chant comes through on 'Miseducation' and the beautiful ballad at the end of the album just finishes off what is one of the best CD's so far this year. Hopefully his solo album will be able to top it. Bring it out Bach - show us what you've got :-)

you won't be dissapointed I will tell you that! I have a feeling you will need a box of Kleenex for What Kind Of Animal. The emotion that Baz emits is extremely powerful to say the least.

I FREEQIN LOVE THIS ALBUM

AND i gotta say, i have not been this blown away by an album in ages..
prior to this .. i was never really a prog rock fan.. i mean the technical stuff was cool but not many songs had that appeal where u can just go to your buddies and say "man u gotta check out this song!! " but this album ..... man..... this album.. DAMN!!!!! I just fukkin love every single bit of the music and the singin that was created for this album... I have been blasting this album in my car, office, home and even my far- infrared sauna..lolol..
I just cant get bored of this album... Huge credits to BAZ, Henning, Shaun, Eddie and who ever else that were associated in creating this masterpiece. Every inch of this album was created with significant emotional vibe that creates a story in my head when i listen to it.. its like im listening to a movie or reading a book..
Baz basically bared his soul in doing this album,I think baz just upped the notch in what it takes to be a rock vocalist..As for the musical direction..i have never heard soooo many complex beats put together that sounded soo brilliant.... Henning deserves a grammy for his visions in creating frameshift..

what im sad about is that frameshift will never get the sales of say Creed, Velvet revolvers or simple plan due to the limited marketing channels.. THIS ALBUM IS A BILLION TIMES BETTER THAN ANY OF THOSE TOP 40 ROCK ALBUM. so to all of u .. SPREAD THE WORD LIKE WILD FIRE, or CREATE A FRAMESHIFT TSUNAMI!!!!


SALUT!!

Have you gotten it yet? Just wondering...I already have to burn another copy (I never use my original in my car for obvious reasons....) The one I have for my car got a HUGE scratch...not from me mind you...one of my friends was changing the disk and dropped it on the floor of my car (without me knowing...) and I found it a couple days later scratched to hell. So, now 3 songs have major skips in it.... So that copy will have to go to my CD graveyard....

Frameshift - An Absence of Empathy
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

An Absence of Empathy, the concept deals with another harsh reality, brutal violence, rape, murder, etc., off of which is explored by the album’s character, who enters this dark world inside his mind in the process of his curiosity, hence the words on the cover “Violence is the Last Refuge of the Incompetent,” for which the concept requires a harder driving and grittier album than the first.

And who better to add the rough personality to the record than Sebastian Bach, whose vocal ability is really shown way beyond his days in Skid Row where his powerful delivery is brought forth in full force; it really shows that Bach can sing this type of technical material extremely well and he is the perfect choice for this record.

The music comes complete with orchestrations, techno blips in the vein of Ozric Tentacles, and a lot of grinding heavy texturing from the axe attack; tracks such as the anthem of “Miseducation,” the despair ridden anger of “Outcast,” and the madness of “Human Grain” offer the records violent edge, encompassing the concept to a T.

Other highlights include “Just One,” which sounds like a long lost track from Dream Theater’s Awake; “I Killed You” with it’s smoother Spock’s Beard vibe (kind of a contrast to the title); and the balladry found in both “What Kind of Animal” and “In an Empty Room”, making for such an astonishing record that is almost scary, considering the concept encompasses more of a reality focus rather than a sci-fi theme.

The record really invokes the spirit of Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence (Dream Theater) and One (Neal Morse), with a little bit of Chroma Key/OSI experimentation present really putting diversity within the musical splendor and melodic insanity that really has Pauly and Bach (along with drummer Eddie Marvin) pushing the envelope for such notable ear candy. Making Frameshift a force to be reckoned with.

Huachimingo Prog - 7/4/2005
Really great CD !!!!!....I really like "I Killed you" !!!!....
For Frameshift I think Sebastian Bach goes better with the band than mr James Labrie, the style and all sounds much stronger...(I like James Labrie too)



Morten - 7/5/2005
Well this sounds good, I did'nt like Unweaving the Rainbow, a bit too mellow, and though I'm a big DT fan, I don't particular find James LaBries voice too amazing.
But the prospect of Sebastian Bach in cahoots with the Framshift boys has sounded good since it was announced.

well, ive only just got this cd. i have to admitt it wasnt what i had expected. i didnt really like it at first, but now that ive really listened to it i get it. its very in depth.
it looks at something very dark & its very confronting.
the music is awsome, i love the different sounds from the synthesizers.
sebastian sounds amazing. when hasnt he though? never!!
i am really enjoying this cd, its different from everything else.
my favs are, i killed you, this is gonna hurt, in an empty room- this song seems to make me feel something i cant explain & i love the banjo on this track, what kind of animal - as i am a mother i really understand this song a lot!!
definatley worth every second listening, each time i do i find something else i didnt hear the first time!!

[jukeboxher]

I have to admit, some words from 'I killed you' are better understood in the rough mixes. The song sounds simpler, not as condensed. I like it, but I like the finished version as well. Though you can definitely make out Sebastian's voice and the clarity of the words in the rough mix. I'll take both.

OK, just finished listening to the rest. There something about them that's different. I know I hear Sebastian's voice better, but it's also the instruments that sound real. I hope that makes sense. It's more like your in the room with them.

[kells bells]

i felt that to.
the rough mix of in an empty room is awsome. it sent shivers up my spine

[madamx12]

Ok i love baz....but to be honest i wasn't thrilled with this cd.It was hardcore..and i am still stuck in the youth gone wild era.I miss the 80's. Ho hum.But at least i can say i own all the baz albums!I do like I killed you but it isn't my fav album.
