    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!!!!!!!!!!!

    amazingly innovative....contrary to what most think, deadsy influenced orgy, not vice versa.

    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. The kind of edge that represents no fear in taking risks, instead of just going the flow.

    i bought the album today. loved it from first litsen. i had heard about it in AP and thought that it sounded like something i'd like so i put the idea to buy it into the back of my mind. today i just happened to stumble across it amongst the cheesy tired pop that fills the shelves in most music stores. after listening to part of the first track i was hooked. i find it intelligent and i bought the album today. loved it from first litsen. i had heard about it in AP and thought that it sounded like something i'd like so i put the idea to buy it into the back of my mind. today i just happened to stumble across it amongst the cheesy tired pop that fills the shelves in most music stores. after listening to part of the first track i was hooked. i find it intelligent and enticing. … Expand

    All of the critics who said this album would do bad will be eating their words soon! This album is amazing and I love it, it's not like every single other album out there ala britney spears....It's time for something new and something good.

    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. But all in all, Elijah's voice and guitar, Renn's keyboards, Carlton's synth, Ashburn's Do you really think Deadsy gives a damn what the critics are saying? The fans are what really counts!

    I bought this album because I read a couple of good reviews and the way they described the music sounded like something I would like. I'm so glad I did! This album totally rocks. I love Elijah's beautiful deep voice. And I don't care what anyone else says, they are all fuckin' sexy!

    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 love Deadsy and if I never found them I would never have found the key to grammercy park. See you all in the mansion world fuckers!… Expand

    It's enough to make you think Deadsy are all a hilariously high-concept prank. Which it is, um, right?

    Deadsy's mix of electronics, death-metal distortion and lugubrious vocals offers something magnificently alien, yet familiar. [Jun 2002, p.69]

    Deadsy crosses cheesy new wave keyboards, metal guitars and overwrought gothic drama in a way that just never jells.
