Flyleaf anyone?
 

In my opinion they are one of the best new rock/metal bands around. Their sound is unique and Lacey Mosley's voice is amazing. They really impressed me when I heard their song "Fully Alive" over the summer and I then picked up their CD and was amazed by songs such as "I'm So Sick," "Cassie," "All Around Me," and "There For You." I had noticed on MTV last night that they are this weeks "Band of the Week" and it seems they are really getting up there popularity wise.

Fan of theirs. I wouldn't really classify them as a metal band though. More hard rock then anything. Even though i they aren't really new, Within Temptation and Nightwish blow Flyleaf out of the water imo. You also might like In This Moment, but theres a lot more screaming though.
eh, since i'm board and have the time
within temptation

I like Flyleaf, but I wish they would put out some new material, because I'M SO SICK of the current crop of tracks.

Flyleaf isn't bad. I look forward to see what they do when they become more comfortable. They seemed awfully lost on stage when I saw them.

Both Nightwish and Within Temptation have good music, but the vocals really turn me off. I'm not into the operatic singing, personally.

They seem mostly like a radio band that won't last. I thought their first album was pretty good.

They sounded horrible when I saw them live last summer, however.

That is funny. I really like operatic singing in a "rock and roll" context.

On topic, I enjoy flyleaf and hope they put out a new record sooner than later. I really like their cover of Something I can never have on the Underworld score.

A new CD is in production as we speak.

EDIT: The Chick or Chicks in Within Temptation are damn good looking.Though their voices in my opinon arent as good as Lacey Mosley's.

They have been riding on this album forever. Their street team was promoting the album at Family Values this year, and I yelled to them "anyone who doesn't have the album by now is not a fan."

It bothers me that they rereleased the album again with all kinds of bonus features, basically punishing those who have supported them early on. (just like so many other bands)

Meh, I liked it. It has 5 songs in acoustic which I like, except "I'm So Sick" it sounds like shes dying when she sung that song in acoustic. But other than that, I agree and I think its good that they are making a new CD.

Sorry, had to revive this thread just to state Tairrie B of My Ruin is and always will be the Queen of Metal.

Wasn't too big on Nightwish, it just seemed to upbeat/cheery for me given the musical genre they're trying to be a part of. Within Temptation though, I can't imagine how I've managed to go so long with never hearing of them. All I listen to is female vocals alt/goth/metal, and that one song at least was fantastic. Sort of an less-pop version of Evanescence.

You also might like Lacuna Coil if your not a fan of theirs already. The Within Temptation song is from their newest "the Heart of Everything". Here's the other big video from that album

And yes, this band was around many years before Evanesance. I mainly like that the music means something, and it doesn't feel like the lead singer with a backup band like Evanesance feels like to me imo.

I can at least say for Lacuna Coil that I've been a fan of theirs for years. And now that I've listened to the entire Heart of Everything album, extremely well done. I'll have to try and hunt down their other three albums. I'll toss in a couple names for this thread.

Lennon (Goes mainly as Lennon, aka Lennon Murphy when you search and get John Lennon.) Easily one of my top 3 musicians of all time.

Bit more on the goth-rock side, but Scarling (Same singer from Jack Off Jill, who's Clear Hearts Grey Flowers is the most amazing album. Ever.) is in the same vein and another favorite. Nada decent on YouTube, but from their site: http://www.scarling.com/av/index.html

More widely known, but I'll also toss them in. Kidneythieves, The Birthday Massacre, The Start and Drain STH.

I love Flyleaf. I just hope their second CD is longer than the first.

Well to revive this thread, apparently earlier in the year their self titled went platinum selling over 1 million copies, much the displeasure of the snobs at blabbermouth
http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/bla...wsitemID=92365

Also, does anyone else prefer the ep/video version of Breathe Today?

they also had to drop off the last few dates of the Seether co headlining tour due to Lacey losing her voice. If they start recording over the summer, would end of 08/early 09 sound reasonable release date for the new album?

Being a shitty emo band alone would be enough for me to dislike Flyleaf.

But they're a shitty Christian emo band who play those vile Teen Mania/Battle Cry/Acquire the Fire shows, so I officially DESPISE them.

(And, Lacey, it pleases me to be the one to break it to you: that whole "Cassie" story is 100% bullshit.)

I definitely wouldn't consider Flyleaf to be 'emo'. Sorry.

= J

I wouldn't put them in the emo category either. To have a platinum album after one (?) cd, and at that age, would be a pretty cool thing.

Re: Flyleaf anyone?

Re: Flyleaf anyone?
 

looking fwd to the new CD. ..if only they'd let us know the tracklisting and whether there'll be a delux edition. The acoustic tracks on the first album were my favorites off the whole CD.

Re: Flyleaf anyone?
 

The tracklist/album cover has been revealed at their street team site and will be announced to the public on Monday. Memento Mori drops October 27.

Re: Flyleaf anyone?
 

I love Lennon's music - especialy the acoustic tracks because you can hear her voice better. She's got very strong vocals.
Kidneytheive really rock. Not too much into Free Dominquez solo albums... love her voice though.

The only Drain STH song I love is 20th Century Boy. I bought their second album but just coulden't really get into it. Diden't care for the girls vocals there.

Re: Flyleaf anyone?
 

as a reminder, they're on Jimmy Kimmel live tonight. Prob will play at around 12:55 tonight/tomorrow.
here are the 2 videos they've released thus far for the album

Re: Flyleaf anyone?
 

I like the two new songs. I think I like Beautiful Bride better than the lead single, Again, as a matter of fact.

I also just got around to checking out some of the bands listed earlier in the thread. I don't know if I like any of them enough to pursue an entire album, but I did really like some of the singles. Within Temptation's What Have You Done and Howling, as well as Lacuna Coil's Spellbound are really good. The rest I felt kind of "eh" about, not great, not terrible, but I'm thankful for the recommendations because it gave me something to do for a while.

Back on topic, I'm looking forward to Memento Mori in a week and a half. From what I've heard of it so far, it sounds like something I'll like, and it reminded me to listed to their debut album, which I enjoy but just forgot about.

Re: Flyleaf anyone?
 

Looking forward to the new album as well. They were just in town here last week, but I was too sick to go.

Re: Flyleaf anyone?
 

So when they came to town did you say, "I wish I could go, but I'm So Sick"? :rimshot:

Re: Flyleaf anyone?
 

:lol:
they're coming to town i think nov 25, in the club room at Sonar (can hold 300 people). i guess that they wanna do the tiny as hell venues first, then do the larger clubs once the album has been out there for a bit.

Re: Flyleaf anyone?
 

Yes, as a matter of fact, I did.

:clap:

That was a good one.

Again on Kimmel

Re: Flyleaf anyone?
 

Memento Mori came out yesterday.

Your thoughts?

Re: Flyleaf anyone?
 

It took a few listens but I like it. I miss the screams however but her voice has improved a lot. My current favorite tracks are Chasm, Missing and Break Your Knees.

Re: Flyleaf anyone?
 

I like it too. I think it loses steam at Tiny Heart and the last four tracks (not including the interlude) are the weakest, but overall it's pretty solid. I haven't heard any of the bonus tracks yet.

Re: Flyleaf anyone?
 

Only listened to it once so far, but I love the first track "Beautiful Bride".
One thing that really pisses me off though, Best Buy has the regular CD, the expanded CD and a Limited Edition package that comes with a t-shirt (which is the version I bought). Well logic would dictate that the Limited Edition package would come with the expanded CD with the bonus tracks since you are paying the most for it but NOPE, just the standard CD. I had to buy the bonus tracks off of Itunes.

Re: Flyleaf anyone?
 

So...I have listened to the first few songs, and all I could think to myself was "Wasn't this song on the first cd? If not, it sounds awfully similar"

Re: Flyleaf anyone?
 

I'm addicted to Circle right now, that song is fantastic. I haven't been able to turn the cd off for the past 2 days..

It's funny because the website advertises it as the expanded version. I wonder why they didn't go with it.

Re: Flyleaf anyone?
 

There's a song that is actually a pregap track, to a point where if you put the cd in, and rewind to 4:25, you can hear the bonus track "Uncle Bobby" I wonder though, how do you put that song on itunes?

Re: Flyleaf anyone?
 

I haven't got the album yet, but I've heard a couple of the songs. My favorite so far is definitely Missing.

Re: Flyleaf anyone?
 

from blabbermouth
FLYLEAF's new album, "Memento Mori", sold 56,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 8 on The Billboard 200 chart.

Re: Flyleaf anyone?
 

Music Choice on Comcast overplays this band to such a sickening extent I never want to hear them again. It gets very tedious to hear that squirt Lacey screaming like someone is ripping her uterus out in every song, and then hear it hourly.

Re: Flyleaf anyone?
 

Amazon has the regular version of the MP3 album for $5 and the extended for $7.99. I finally picked up the regular one.
