    Wow... Just Wow

    Pros: All of it

    Cons: None

    Wow... Just wow... Stone Temple Pilots is my favorite band of all time. Filter is my second favorite band of all time. To think that my two favorite bands would combine to write songs was just out of my thinking range. So when I heard that the DeLeo ...brothers, Richard Patrick, and Ray Luzier were to form a new band, let's just say I almost had a heart attack. Their debut album blew off any doubts I had; this is the real deal. This album oozes with writing skills I have not heard in many years. The DeLeos prove yet once again that they are without a doubt the most underrated instrumentalists in music. Combining elements of psychedelic rock, jazz fusion, and just straight up hard rock, the duo create some of the catchiest and amazing core music to grace the industry in several years. Stone Temple Pilots obviously has a great influence here some of the riffs are strongly reminiscent of STP's Tiny Music days. Dean provides amazing hooks and riffs that dominate the record, while Dean delivers pounding rhythm and bass lines. Yes, Scott Weiland had a great voice, and one might wonder how the DeLeos can manage to replace him. Fear not, for Richard Patrick's voice delivers in nearly all ways, from the dark and strong single "Goodbye", to "Dissapear", which as one reviewer put it, bears a striking resemblance to the hit Filter song "Take a Picture". Richard's voice fluctuates from low growls to highly melodic croons, and one is left to wonder how me manages it. Ray Luzier's presence just seals the deal. His drumming adds a new layer to the band's sound, and helps fuels the music. So chuck all your doubts out the window. THIS is the real deal. This has surpassed all my expectations; give it a listen and you will understand why. My favorite songs are "Disappear", "Leave It", and "Goodbye". Rock on! Read more Less

    Pros: All star cast of band members

    Cons: Doesn't rock as hard as I thought it would

    I bought this album after it's release. Although, after listening to it, I wished I had not of spent the money. I saw these guys in concert as well. They got booed by several people in the crowd. The only thing I really enjoyed was when they play...ed Stone Temple Pilot or Filter songs. On the way out of the concert, I heard a lot of complaining about how they had sucked. Some people seem to enjoy this music though. Maybe it's just not my taste. This album is considered "pop" so, if you are expecting "rock", you will likely be disappointed. Songs that are okay from the album include, It Doesn't Matter, Goodbye, and Father Figure. Read more Less

Pro Reviews: Army of Anyone

  • All Music Guide

    When Richard Patrick asked the DeLeo Brothers of Stone Temple Pilots fame to guest on Filter's fourth album, he never expected where it would lead. But so satisfying was their collaboration, "A Better Place," that the trio decided to continue it, leading, upon the enlistment of drummer Ray Luzier, to the birth of Army of Anyone. The taster for their eponymous debut album, "Goodbye" has already been welcomed by fans of both bands and then some, lighting up radio coast to coast. That electrifying song certainly sets the stage for the fulllength set, which is filled with sharply written numbers filled with dynamics, musical nuances, and a big sound courtesy of producer Bob Ezrin. Delicate moments are also found within, as on the sweeping "A Better Place," awash in muted atmospheres and glorious guitars. "Disappear" features sumptuous strumming guitars, but here the aura swirls toward psychedelia, while "Stop, Look and Listen" is painted in gentle pastels. The set's finale, "This Wasn't Su...pposed to Happen," is so rich in ambience, you could almost cut it with a knife, a moody ballad that shimmers in dappled sunshine. The set opener, "It Doesn't Seem to Matter," is its polar opposite, a big rock number with storming, searing guitars and a pulledback, chiming chorus. Other sonic assaults follow "Generation" with its phenomenal dynamic shifts; the bluesy "Ain't Enough"; and the churning, metalriven "Father Figure." It's a sumptuous set, with a density of sound and atmosphere that almost echoes of the Verve, but so solid and potent is the rhythm section that the comparison is far from satisfactory. With its mixtures of moods, subtle use of genreshifting, and powerhouse guitars, Army of Anyone breaks down the rock barriers, and fans should be joining up by the droves. - JoAnn Greene, All Music Guide Read more Less
