Album Description
Celldweller combines the electronic and the organic, darkness and beauty, aggression and sensuality, with the ability to find its home in the mosh pit as easily as on the dj's turntable. Their debut self-titled album ranges from guitar based electronic rock to the unique blending of heavily distorted guitars and aggression with drum and bass trance. Celldweller's music has been featured on television shows including: "The Chris Isaac Show" (Showtime), "Higher Ground" (ESPN, MTV); video game placements, including: "NHL Hockey" (EA), "Road Rash: Jailbreak" (EA), and "Test Drive: Off Road" (Infogames); and even in the Martin Lawrence movie, "National Security".Customer Reviews:

Hard II Label - Easy II Love.......2006-08-30
The albums approach is a mix of several different genres. Alternative, CyberTek, Gothic, Industrial, Metal & Techno. They all combine into a well oiled machine creating some of the most original music i've ever heard. From gritty synthed out guitar riffs, to dark overtones with soft melodic vocals and everything in between.
Songs such as 'Tragedy' have lyrics easy to sing along with and fast paced music easy to dance to or even head bang to. Other songs such as 'Switchback' have a heavier Industrial Metal influence and even have Klayton singing in audible Growl/Yell form. Tracks with a darker grittier approach like 'Symbiont' have Cyber Goth written all over them and are a nice addition to the album.
Metal fans be cautious, This album really isn't all that heavy. I suggest checking out songs on MySpace before purchasing. Everyone else don't hesitate, This is a great and original album to add to your collection. Personal favorites include: Frozen - Tragedy - Symbiont - Afraid This Time.
-If you took the time to read my review, Please take the time to rate it and let me know whether it Helped you or Not.
-Thank you, A loyal Celldweller fan & Michigan Music supporter.
4.5 Stars. Excellent album........2006-08-29
Yes, Celldweller is not Circle of Dust. They aren't industrial. What we've got here is a tapestry of rock, house, drum n' bass, and industrial, and it's quite a project he has here. A lot of people criticize it because he uses clean vocals, catchy harmonies, and club beats. I praise the man for it, and I'll tell you why this album is amazing, and why it's pushing the envelope. (Hopefully the soon-to-appear sophomore disc will be the sonic powerhouse a lot of people have been saying it is). Also, I'm going to not compare it to Circle of Dust or Argyle Park, as this is a completely different beast.
First off, Celldweller is defintely catchy and poppy. There is no doubting this. Some of their songs, like the rap infused synthetic rocker Switchback, are high energy affairs that allow you to bob your head and sing along. However, the variety of song structures, the use of synths, heavily processed guitars, and throbbing programmed drum beats all come together to produce something that doesn't skimp on either the rock or techno side. This isn't electronica sprikled over numetal, ala Spineshank, and it defintely isn't techno with a bit of guitar filled in. This a perfectly balanced combination of the two creating something quite unique, good to the ears, and something you can dance to. Once the album progresses and you start hearing the acoustic bits, the catchy rock riffs, the vocoded female vocal leads, you'll start to understand: This isn't a faliure at industrial, it's an almagamtion of all the styles of music the man in charge (Klayton) enjoys.
The high points for me are without a doubt the 7 minute techno epic "The Last Firstborn", with its hypnotic house rhythms, amazingly well mixed guitar parts that don't overwhelm the general feeling but add immesurably to it, and the whispered/raspy spoken word/rap hybrid vocals. Add some cool guitar breakdowns and infintely creepy lyrics, and it's a 10/10. The other high point comes later in the album, the much shorter and more rock-styled Fadeaway. From the trip-hop intro, which quickly gets a dose of chugging riffage, to the soaring and amazingly catchy chorus, this song rocks your ears until it drops down into an unexpected acoustic break complete with erie synths switching between your ears and a solemn vocal performance.
I can't recommend this album enough to people who have an affinity for rock and an even passing interest in electronica and industrial rock (Front Line Assembly fans need not apply ;) ). Don't expect a mind-twisting, calculated insanity. This is not Aphex Twin with guitars. This is straight up 4/4 beats, a high range mix of vocals, simple rock guitars, enough hooks to hold down a hungry Oprah, and some of the best club sample work I've heard outside of rave dj's. If your idea of great music simply consists of how heavy it is, then you're better off somewhere else. If your benchmark of good industrial is Squarepusher or Aphex Twin (both of which I love, btw) and if your rock collection consists of Gorguts, Starkweather, or even to a lesser degree Trivium, this probably isn't the album for you.
However, if you can take some pop, some club beats, and a motherload of catchy rhythms, get this album. You will not regret it.

Always a good choice.......2007-06-01
Can we get another album?.......2007-03-05
I find he has a lot in commun with Muse's album Origin of symmetry on many points (Darkshine = Drowning) or (Feeling good = Miseryhead) who cares it's striptease time ... both albums out the same year at one month from each other.
Medication makes me think of Underneath from The verve pipe. I always loved that song. Both albums out the same year again.
He even sound like Pineapple thief on meet me in the tower.
My personal favorite is Sometimes and I'm a monster
death of an imaginary enemy.......2007-02-02
ours has been through a few different changes of band members, but the one thing that has forever remained true is the loyalty of the fans and their relationship with jimmy.
over the past few years, the live experiences have been full of a warmth that resurrected throughout the crowd and created a feeling that gave absolutely everyone the power to sing. familiar friends and fans would fly from all over the world to attend strings of performances in random cities and the audience would immediately react to certain special songs like "meet me in the tower", as if they were religiously their own. everytime when the music would stop and cries upon harmonies continued, it sent chills all over the room. there was an important aspect of attending those shows, meeting new strangers who actually had a special love for something they found in the music and the bond that you'd immediately share. i remember leaving with such strong highs and lows due to the unknown intense understanding of when id ever feel like that again.
to many special fans, we've been waiting very patiently for the last four years for a new album and the time has deservingly come. my only hope for those who are being newly introduced to the music for the first time, realize that ours is not just like any other band; they are a connection to a hidden place that lies very deep within the soul.
Absolutely necessary. Click "Buy Now.".......2006-07-22
The rest of the songs on the album fail miserably to disappoint. Gnecco's simple, often abstract lyrics deal with the dark side of the human emotional spectrum. Yet it is very possible to listen to Ours while in a good mood and STAY in a good mood - unlike, say, "Disintegration" by The Cure (try listening to the title track and see how happy you are after that!). My personal favorites are probably considered the most melodramatic tracks on the album: "Miseryhead" whines in a sarcastic self-aware manner; "Here Is The Light" and "Meet Me In The Tower" feature catchy hooks and beautifully haunting vocal work.
Fans of Morrissey, Jeff Buckley and Queen (look for the Ours cover of "Bohemian Rhapsody floating on the Internet - Gnecco SINGS the guitar solo) will definitely appreciate this album, but it's worth a listen for everyone. Just make a point not to buy it for background music's sake; the songs on "Distorted Lullabies" will keep you up rather than put you to sleep.
This album absolutely blew me away........2006-07-19
It's a crying shame that this band hasn't gotten more attention than it has. To this day I only know one other person who had ever heard of Ours, but they, like myself, fell in love with the first few listens.
This album is amazing and I would reccomend it to anyone, and in fact show them off to my friends as much as I can because of the impact they have made on me.
1. Fallen Souls - outstanding. An excellent way to start up the album with the fade-in and the way it just immediately puts you into the music with no long lead-ins. 10.
2. Drowning. Another excellent track that keeps the music moving and the mood of the album alive. 8.
3. I'm a Monster - the only track I have a tendency to skip over, but not a bad song at all. 7
4. Sometimes - gets you right back into the thick of things and opens up a little bit deeper into the feelings that come out with each listen-to of the album. 8
5. Miseryhead - I can see where people could not like this song, but I love it. Fun song to listen to and adds a touch of a moodiness to things for me. 9.
6. Here is the Light - Excellent. Absolutely, and the ending is just beautiful. Great way to descend off but not feel like it's dragged out too long.
7. Medication - An amazing display of vocal range. The beginning starts out with his deep, almost sultry voice and by the end he is up into his amazing high range again. I'm a girl and I can't come anywhere close to the notes he can hit. Love it. 10.
8. Dancing Alone - Another one of those good songs that makes it really hard to skip. More upbeat and slightly less depressing than the previous tracks, but it never shies away from the depth of the album, which makes it a great song. 9.
9. Bleed - Another good display of vocal talent and songwriting ability here. 8
10. Dizzy - Not my favorite track. The only track on the CD I can say I am not a huge fan of, but I obviously like it enough to where I listen to it still. 6.5
11. Meet Me in the Tower - Another one of my favorites. I love his voice in this song and the way the song progresses. 10.
12. As I Wander - A fine example of the low range that he is capable of. It's hard for me to believe (still) the depth his voice can reach. Good song. 9.
The singer in this band stands out as one of very few absolutely excellent vocalists in my mind, range-wise, with a more modern approach to singing with a vocal range comparable (almost) to Freddie Mercury. Excellent.

A Bold Move that hits and misses.......2006-03-28
That said, Bitch is nothing to scoff at. The song, after multiple listens is quite catchy (and in my car stereo it actually is pump worthy)
I particualrly enjoy "Just Because" which seems to borrow its melody from the likes of the Bravery and a lyrical style from Ashlee Simpson. As a matter of fact, most of the writing on this release seems to be a tad bit teen-ish and considering it has a "parental advisory" sticker slapped on it, that isn't really a good thing.
The thing I really like about "Pride" is that the voice that made me like him in the first place (heard on "Lay Me Down" from his self titled album) pops up throughout the album. He does not have a conventional pop-rock voice and perhaps that is one reason he is being dissed by other reviewers. But I have to say that I enjoy that voice and while it seems like he strains to get the notes out... it is a strain that I find endearing and entertaining. This album is no masterpiece, but with a few sprinkles of glittery fun and a gothic tinged "Because I Love You", this album is not a complet waste in my collection. It is a bold departure from the celtic intrumental he has enchanted many with... and I hope he continues to branch out and polish his edge (and improve those ltrics... stat). This album is not for everyone... note it is heavily influenced by punk and alternative rock... but for someone like me who has an ecclectic taste in music, this is fun spin for sure.

Album Description
"Blending blasphemous hard electro EBM with the futuristic sounds of epic hard techno and trance to form a style of industrial more intense, dark, and danceable than your average modern industrial clones. Burning Heaven is fresh, inventive, and will breathe new life into the tired, repetitive industrial music scene." - DarkElectro.netSearching for a hefty dose of anger, harsh electronics, driving beats, and lush pads infused with a touching sense of sensibility? Look no further-Distorted Memory has it all! This Canadian band revitalizes the best of the famous Vancouver sound of the late eighties and early nineties, eternalized by bands like Skinny Puppy and Frontline Assembly. Yet they still add enough new elements-like techno and breakbeats-to make the whole mix sound fresh and alive. This powerful blend of raw emotion and epic soundscapes makes Burning Heaven a sonic landmark that can easily stand on it's own! Obey the machine!

Crystal clear production and interesting arrangements........2007-06-23
Musically, the horror film samples work well next to the distorted vocals. The synths sound fantastic and the percussion has a nice amount of grainy distortion added so that the tracks are rarely boring, if at all - they pound, scream and soar through the average sonic boundary.
I agree with Virus mag's review in that this album is not the most original thing out there, but the concept of the album is interesting and keeps it all pieced together. There's nothing bad about this album per se, but nothing really grabs my attention as being too exciting in terms of originality.
Nevertheless, a good album for fans of dark electro/industrial/terror EBM.
