CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

I just learned that a new Norma Jean c.d. is going to be released March 01 labled “O’ God, The Aftermath.â€

Vertebraille is mad rad bad and all kinds of other cool words. It's just not as good as Memphis Will Be Laid To Waste. :/ Rest assured, though, I will be buying "O' God, The Aftermath" come Cornerstone.

You going to Cornerstone?

I'm really thinking about it...even if I have to go there by myself (though I have a couple heavy metal fans who would like to go).

I'll be catching the one in C-stone Florida. The lineup for it is looking really good.

I havn't checked the lineup recently. However, Blindside is playing at a festival I go to alot right near my house so I may go there. If I go to Cornerstone, it will be the one in Illinois.

This is on my most anticipated list of '05. From what I've heard, I don't like it as much as the old stuff, but I'm still looking forward to it.

Ohh yes, you'll get to catch the big ,lovely one where about a million bands play. Some friends were talking about driving up for that one (it'd be like a 13 hour drive) but I'm content just to drive 7 hours for Cornerstone Florida. However, DEFINITELY check out Blindside. If you haven't seen them live already, they put on one heck of a show. It's good stuff.

So does what does the new stuff sound like? The new singer as good as Josh Scogin? I'll probably buy The Chariot soon. And'll be looking forward to NJ new one.

New Norma Jean is very good. It's obvious, of course, that it's not Scogin's signature voice, but the new guy does a good job.

Aye...Very cool. I'll keep an eye out for this one.

This post has been gravedug out of necessity. "O' God, the Aftermath" came out yesterday. Who got it? I did, and I'm digging it so far. It's not as good as "Bless the Martyr and Kiss the Child" but I can't take it out of my CD player. Favorite tracks so far are Bayonetwork: Vultures In Vivid Color, Murderotica: An Avalanche In D Minor, Coffinspire: Multitudes, Multitudes In the Valley of Decision!, and Liarsenic: Creating A Universe of Discourse.

I still think the double-names are cheesy, but at least they gave each name a cool subtitle. No Aaron Weiss cameos this time, but oh well. It's still a very good CD.

Well I advertised for I don't know how long already on CAA, but yeah I finally got it.

The new singers vocals aren't as good as Josh's --it screams just don't have that punch. But aside from that, the guitars, drums, bass it all almost sounds so much like NJ which is a good thing.

Some of the tracks, the vocals have a southern rock sound...mixed with hardcore, kind of like Every Time I Die.

Overall, its' a good album but nowhere near as good as their 2002 effort. At least they didn't sink the way Hopesfall did......whew.

I buying it right now online ^_-

Yeah, I can agree with all of that. Cory's screams aren't as powerful as Josh's. For Josh vocals, though, at least we have The Chariot. ^_^ Still, this CD was DEFINITELY worth the 10 bucks I paid for it at Best Buy. I haven't stopped listening to it since I bought it.

I'm listening to Bayonetwork on Purevolume right now and I am really loving it. I cant decide if I like "old" or "new". They both have thier good points.

Bayonetwork is insanely cool. I really dig that song. Wait until you hear Liarsenic, it's great.
