great cd, i really like "Balls Out" and "I'm The Least You Could Do", "No Hard Feelings", though most liberals wont agree with me, is undoubtedly the best song on the CD.

budwieser.com?...........retard

Thanks for at least listening. Its more than other people will do.

I have about 6 or 7 CKY ringtones.... ...best ringtones ever.

....as long as you buy it. I have my 2 copies.

Rye Cooter?

you downloaded the whole thing didnt you? ya ass, lol

1) Suddenly Tragic 2) The Way You Lived 3) Dressed In Decay 4) Familiar Realm 5) All Power To Slaves 6) Tripled Manic State 7) Behind The Screams 8) Deceit Is Striking Gold 9) As The Tables Turn 10) Sniped 11) Don't Hold Your Breath All we ever wanted was an Ånswer... For over 8 years now, CKY has fought tooth and nail to maintain their raw, truthful and honest selves both as individuals and a band. From the homegrown, riff-driven efforts of "Volume 1", to the simplistic and hard hitting "Infiltrate.Destroy.Rebuild", and now to the giant, riffing beast that is "An Ånswer Can Be Found", CKY once again has done what only CKY can do: record an album that not only surpasses the predecessors, but one that also yet again defies the naysayers and critics that would rather see CKY just go away because they bring too much originality to the table. Deron Miller, Chad Ginsburg, and Jess Margera are as unrestrained on this record as any before it; and they are in top form. This record is a completely different outing from the previous two, and those without an open mind may have difficulty adapting in the new direction this album takes us, but there is much value to be found in the 11 tracks on this album. The first thing you notice when you pick up the album is the minimalistic artwork. To the average person, it may not look like much. But the angstrom symbol (Å) donning the cover stands for the "Ålliance"- the global network of fans who spend their own blood, sweat and tears supporting CKY in their own way. The fans that continue the demand for a change in music. This album is dedicated to these loyal fans, with whom the band stays connected with through the official website (which is also maintained by fans of the band) at ckyalliance.com. Even the title itself sparks something of a personal meaning to any individual that reads it, the feeling from it inspires hope and is self-empowering. Perhaps the 'answer' is yourself, something within, or the way this band does what it does. All the tracks were recorded and mixed by Chad Ginsburg, who wears many hats in the role of the band. Ginsburg, who poured countless hours in the studio meticulously checking each track to ensure 100% CKY quality and perfection, brings about a level of respect that should be given to him and the band- even if you don't like their music. It's highly rare, if not impossible, to find anyone else doing this very thing in the music industry. There is no stooge checking in and asking to remove this solo, that track, change these words, use this artwork. None of that. Ginsburg oversees all aspects of recording, and the result is a more true offering that is untouched by the label, as how it has been with everything they have ever done and will continue to do. But just what is CKY? What do they sound like? That is one of the hardest questions to answer about the band, because they don't sound like anything else out there. Ask any fan of the band and they'll all tell you "just listen to them!". They can go from fast, chuggy riffs (Sporadic Movement, My Promiscuous Daughter, Sniped) to slow and mellow tracks (Close Yet Far, Behind the Screams, Don't Hold Your Breath) at a moments notice. Deron Miller, the brainchild of CKYs monstrous, catchy riffs has really come into his own with the work on "An Ånswer Can Be Found"- evolving and refining himself over time since the days of "Volume 1". The most noticeable change from the last album to this album is that there are no moogs (synth keyboard) at all, and that there are guitar solos. Ginsburg handled all the solos on the record. With influences ranging from Paul Gilbert, Joe Satriani, and Yngwie Malmsteen, he proves that great rock and roll solos and the art of shredding has not been lost in today's nu-metal world. At the meat of this review, the music, clocks in at just about 40 mintues total. The band likes to keep their albums between 30-45 minutes, because they believe thats the 'perfect' length for an album. Not too short, and not too long. Straight and to the point. "Suddenly Tragic" opens up the album, ripping right into your ears with hard and heavy guitars. Margera lays down the beat with old school feel, complimenting the melodic guitar lines of Miller and Ginsburg. Within the lyrics lie some of Millers simple yet true to life messages of 'use the height of confidence, to break the common ground; beyond a bad experience, an answer can be found." "The Way You Lived" brings back a certain vibe and surrealness of the fan favorite "To All Of You" from Volume 1. The fuzzdriven guitars take you on a slow melodic run all throughout this song, which contains a haunting chorus and catchy riff which almost feels like a short soundtrack to a dream. "Familiar Realm" the first single from this album is reminiscent of "Flesh Into Gear" from previous effort, "Infiltrate.Destroy.Rebuild". You can really hear the progression in Millers vocal abilities in this track, most noticeably on the chorus and the outro where there are variations on the vocals. "All Power To Slaves" is a hard hitting track that once again puts Millers vocals and the combined efforts of Miller/Ginsburgs guitar/engineer work on display. The line screamed by Miller "All power to SLAAAAAAAVES" will stick with you for a long time coming. A little over halfway through the album at track 7, it breaks off into an interlude, aptly titled "Behind the Screams". This short minute and a half acoustic track provides the perfect breather point as well as serve up some sweet acoustic stylings with a classical flair. This proves that there really is more to Deron Miller than meets the ear, and hopefully we can see more songs like this in the future. However the song feels too short, and perhaps could have been a little longer. "Deceit is Striking Gold" is perhaps the bands most 'different' track from everything they've ever done. It's almost something you would hear from a band like Clutch, however very CKY in its own way. Margera really keeps things flowing on this track with the drums, probably his best recording on the album, even though he has really stepped it up in this album overall. "As The Tables Turn" provides more great Miller riffage with an ending containing one of the most catchy and epic guitar lines heard since possiby "Disengage the Simulator". Very memorable and very melodic, as is the closing track "Don't Hold Your Breath". This song is so beautiful that you almost wouldn't believe that this is CKY, complete with intertwining acoustic and electric guitars under Miller's butter-smooth vocals. The production quality is top notch, the guitar playing is spot on, and the sequencing is tight. The move from "Infiltrate.Destroy.Rebuild" to "An Answer Can Be Found" is a big one, and you owe it to yourself and the band to check it out. This album has originality flowing from every pore; truth and honesty from the lyrics, and a no bullshit attitude- it's just "CKY" being who they are. "An Ånswer" has been found. ~Review written by Kevin Quillen~

H.I.M. fan site H-I-M666 Club has uploaded two new H.I.M. songs recorded during the band's appearance at the Rock Am Ring festival in Germany over the weekend. Check out the tracks "Killing Loneliness" (audio)and "Vampire Heart" (audio). As previously reported, H.I.M.'s new album, "Dark Light", is scheduled for release on September 26 via Sire Records. According to Billboard.com, "Dark Light" was mixed at New York's Electric Lady studios with producer Tim Palmer (DAVID BOWIE, OZZY OSBOURNE). Frontman Ville Valo told Finland's Ilta-Sanomat magazine that the group's initial choice of mixer for the new album, Andy Wallace (NIRVANA, KORN, LIMP BIZKIT, DISTURBED) was fired one week into the process because he made H.I.M. sound like "one of those American bands with no personality." "He didn't understand our Scandinavian 'twistedness,'" Ville said. The follow-up to 2003's "Love Metal", "Dark Light" was recorded at Los Angeles' Paramour studios with Palmer, who also worked on the band's last album. Ville Valo and his cohorts have lined up a handful of European and Japanese festival appearances during the summer. A North American jaunt is being penciled in for October and November.

an article about the bands i LOVE to hate

Thanks For the Reply LoTD, im glad someone actually has the nuts to say their opinion in a civilized manner. :bigsmile: I know you dont like the band, and think they do have big ego's. And, your right, Deron posted this, mainly just to get a rise out of them; from his message board (www.deronmiller.com) He posted that in a thread about the comments he made. I have no idea why he would do this. It is funny in a way, but now he has opened himself up to more attacks & more reason for people not to like him. I do respect how Deron speaks his mind though, most guys wouldn't say a word. He stands up for what he believes and isn't afraid to call people out, including one of his idols, Dave Mustaine. (see here for Dave Mustaine vs. Deron article) He and the rest of this band care and are involved with their fans unlike any other band on the planet, he always responds to hand written letters sent to him, private messages, and emails and even messages us on Ebay if we are in danger of being ripped off, what other band would go so far for their fans? The problem with Blabbermouth is not their insults to CKY, its their insults and negative comments about every band ever posted on the site. The sad thing is that the majority of Blabbermouth posters have NEVER HEARD ANY MUSIC FROM THE BANDS THEY ARE SLAGGING, this doesnt just include CKY. The respect factor is there for me, i will always stand behind Deron & CKY. Once again, thanks for replying LOTD. Reminder to all! CKY's "Familiar Realm" single, link, is in the Music Download section at BK

CKY Frontman Slams 'Lonely, Jealous' BLABBERMOUTH.NET 'Losers' - June 2, 2005 CKY guitarist/vocalist Deron Miller has slammed the "lonely, jealous music fans" who have posted scathingly negative comments about his band on BLABBERMOUTH.NET. Writing in response to the comments that accompanied the the latest CKY news story on this web site (dated June 1), Miller said, "I just wanted to say that not one post can go by from any band/artist without a handful of lonely, jealous music fans (?) leaving stupid remarks about EVERY SINGLE BAND that posts. It's obvious that this is blabbermouthers' only time to shine — to show that they can put others down without cause or even knowing anything about the band/artist. Try to find one news post that doesn't have a string of lame, uneducated and closed-minded responses from people that WISH they were the people that they are slagging. It's not just Dave Mustaine, MÖTLEY CRÜE, ROTTING CHRIST, or CKY — it's everyone. And the negative opinions are so lame it's embarassing to read them, so it should be embarrassing to write them. "Why don't all of you negative fucks find some friends and power outside of the house? Your slagging remarks are boring, and I'm sure they'll be yet another string of dull crap to follow this post: 'CK-who', 'CKY sucks' (that's an original one). Let me save you the time... I won't be reading them! But you'll do it anyway, because that's just how predictable you are. We don't give a fuck, and neither do the other great bands (or bad bands) on here that are doing what you WISH you were doing. "To the positive people that are in touch with reality... I commend you for trying to put these losers in their place and making Blabbermouth a cool site to visit." Source: http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermo...ewsitemID=37539

Behind the Crimson Door 03. Face of God 04. Bound to be Wrong 05. Killing Loneliness 06. Under the Rose 07. Forever Haunted 08. Wings of a Butterfly 09. Night in Despair 10. Drunk on Shadows According to Billboard.com, "Dark Light" was mixed at New York's Electric Lady studios with producer Tim Palmer (DAVID BOWIE, OZZY OSBOURNE), frontman Ville Valo said the band was inspired by the works of film composer Angelo Badalamenti. "Our approach on 'Dark Light' was to work on key words to make the music more cinematic, epic, and close to the listeners," he told Billboard.com. The follow-up to 2003's "Love Metal", "Dark Light" was recorded at Los Angeles' Paramour studios with Palmer, who also worked on the band's last album.

Links work now (sorry for the Double Post)

it was a pretty gnar attempt though

i officially hate you

Conservitives = Better than You

i believe it was released on iTunes.....so the links were taken down i believe, if you are an iTunes user......listen to the clip, like it? DL it. If you dont feel like paying for it, then use other MEANS to get it.

Oh guys, dont get all bent out of shape about Chad's ego...thats just who he is. If you really knew the real Chad Ginsburg, he would suprise you. Chad is very smart, he knows exactly how he is going to crush the rock industry, and change it for the better. I think its pretty pathetic when people bash music without even listening, (if you need a listen, there is a free DL link in the DL links section of BK, for 'Familiar Realm", the first single off "An Ånswer Can Be Found") they are pretty unique in their style. If you like guitar rock, this is definately a great band to get into. Check em out, don't hate right away. CKY will be on MTV2 tomorrow night at 11PM Eastern Time, i say that its about time that MTV gets some decent programming on. This is your answer, and yeah, i know you probably think that i have a big ego as well, just fanboyying the band wherever i go. True, because they have sparked an interest, Generation Overdone will be overthrown. But if you seriously think that his ego is horrible, watch the special on MTV2, you will learn a lot about them, and why they seem to have big ego's, it will show you how CKY has been misunderstood my the music industry, they are not your run of the mill everyday rock band. They are unique, and if you think that uniqueness, and change is what we need. Then CKY has an answer for you, on June 28th 2005 You may not like them, true. But you have to respect them for what they are doing, they are slowly going to change rock'n'roll today. Listen to "Familiar Realm", make judgements if needed. I really think that you need to hear more than just one song to make a judgement. The two albums that are released now are unique in each way, you really need to understand CKY before you bash CKY. CKY has their own ALLIANCE......how many big label bands have their own ALLIANCE? (KISS ARMY is/was the only thing that came to my mind). And another thing to tell you about their egos, they have such great fans because of it, they try to meet each and every fan that comes to their shows. Superficially, CKY may seem like they have big, cocky ego's. In reality, they do not hold themselves to a higher standard than their fans, this is why the Alliance is so successful. I can guarantee, like the original article said, that this will be the best rock album of 2005. (In chads words, of course)
