    The sound of Elijah's voice just makes you quiver because its so beautiful and the music sends shivers down my spine.

    Deadsy brings back synth-pop in a whole new, Great sounding way. There video is awsome, there style is awsome, LIMP BIZKIT SUCKS! I gave it a 10 but it should have got an 11. People who give it less then a 8 prolly rated the eminem album a 10, hahaha, theres something that should get a 0.

    Melodic, melancholic and monumental. There's groundbreaking stuff here, if only people wouldn't stop listening beyond the words 'Cher' and 'Orgy', both of which have nothing to do with this band's sound.

    Deadsy has a very unique sound, and it has a very different concept than anything that you would hear in music right now.

    Deadsy has a totally new sound different from all of the popular music of today that drives hordes of mindless drones into liking music because everyone else thinks they do. They are sincerely an awesome band, the future of rock. Deprogram yourself from the cult of POP by listening to this CD, if you dont like this band, chances are you liked N'Sync because they were 'hot'...

    I thought it was really good, the vocals(Elijah)Kick a$$ and the synthizisers(Renn)were really cool!!!!! They have a very different sound from the regular metal/alternative/rock band and thats what makes them cool. And If U don't like them or there music then thats u'r problum. SO GET USE 2 IT!!!!!!!!!!!

    Deadsy is one of the most creative and fresh bands to come along in some time. There were a couple of tracks on their album that I didn't care for, but overall it was good. And I anticipate that they will only get better. They are a breath of fresh air for me after years of having to stomach boring, uninspired rock music.

    I loved this album ever since I first heard it, I hate reading reviews about it since most people are too caught up with the shit on Mtv to enjoy Deadsy's combination of the the old synthesiser and the new rock melodies.

    Best album of the millenium. If you don't own this album you're missing out. They sound like nothing out today and if someone says they do i will personally kick your ass. They are not Orgy rip-offs. Deadsy came out before them.

    The CD is excellent , different but good. It gives you a taste of the future of music. The mix of 80's influenced keyboards, heavy down-tuned guitars, and monotone vocals, give these guys an edge over most competition.

    This in my opinion was an wonderful Cd. Its refreshing to hear a truly deep, mature voice come along instead of all those boybands that sound like casturated chipmonks.Elijah does a wonderful job with that. The lyrics, which obviously play of urantia belifes are for once inspiring an proves that you dont have to b a friggin devil worshiper to be "hardcore".

The lyrics, which obviously play of urantia belifes are for once inspiring an proves that you dont have to b a friggin devil worshiper to be "hardcore". The synths provided by Renn and Carelton are elctrifying and unique. Although the Cd can be a bit monotinous and at times sond like orgy on a downer, it can also be exhillerating and fill you with discontent. Im glad to see that some of the old favorites from there past 2 cd's made it onto this one and remember Jay Gordon did have a hand in creating this Cd(vocals and bass). Its no lying that Deadsy is an aquired taste, but those that can like them will love them. No doubt Expand

    I first heard Deadsy this summer with Korn. Deadsy opened and really loved what I heard. I have never heard of them before and as far as I am concerned, I would rather have heard 2 hours of Deadsy than only 45minutes. I think Deadsy carries their own original sound. It has that rock/goth sound and I find it attractable. If you don't like Deadsy, thats your problem...but don't go I first heard Deadsy this summer with Korn.

    Do you really think Deadsy gives a damn what the critics are saying? The fans are what really counts! This Cd along with their self-titled and the original Commencement are all amazing. Their sound is different, and maybe the people who rated this CD so poorly are afraid of change.

    I gave this cd a 10 because it was the highest number available to give. If i could have given more I would. Commencement is one of the best cds I've bought in a while and Deadsy is one of the most original sounding bands out there. Listen to the lyrics and go to the DEADSY website, it explains everything about them and why they are here making such great music.

    I believe that people who usually vote here are scewed to likeing old and unknown artists that dislike the some of the really good groups out there like DEADSY. With the genius sounds and mixtures with state of the art sounds Deadsy is fun to listen to and makes great part music so voice your oppinion on this great part of the music world.

    I strongly feel as though deadsy is oneof the greatest bands of all time. They are completely in their own catagory of greatness and better than anything on the radio.Their music takes me to a far away place that I only wish that everyone else could hear and see what I do. Deadsy is the fucking greatest!!!!!!!!!!

    Deadsy's mix of electronics, death-metal distortion and lugubrious vocals offers something magnificently alien, yet familiar. [Jun 2002, p.69]
  3. Deadsy crosses cheesy new wave keyboards, metal guitars and overwrought gothic drama in a way that just never jells.
