[.ca] Untitled

Chronique amazon.fr:
À tort, on aurait pu croire la mission impossible : égaler ou dépasser le précédent et excellent album pompeusement intitulé Album Of The Year ! C'est ce que réussit cet opus, cette fois sans titre (?!), produit par Colin Richardson, à qui on doit de belles choses aux côtés de Machine Head et Fear Factory. Fidèle à la formule qui fit le succès de la formation, Untitled a peine à choisir entre ce que les membres du groupe aiment jouer. Aussi, metal et hardcore sont célébrés, d'un même élan énergique et jouissif, la longue décharge de cette cavalcade sonique se refermant sur un "Aspire, Inspire" inspiré et serein, instrumental, long (plus de dix minutes) et planant : la descente, avant de remettre le disque sur la première plage ! --Hervé Comte

thrilling:
The depth and range of the melody in these songs took me completely by surprise. Five Pointe O seamlessly blends several different styles of heavy metal together to make one thrilling melody driven album. Sometimes the singing is reminiscent of Mike Patton, and the screaming, or growling sounds like many of the death metal vocalists. All in all, this album is refreshing on many different levels. Those who want their metal straightforward and simplistic, this one is not for you. Five Pointe O is definitely one of the best of the so-called nu-metal bands. Looking forward to hearing what's next.

agressive passion:
this band, five pointe o., knows what they are doing. The screaming vocals to the melodic keyboards, five pointe o., is all around, every song on this album is it's own, the infinity, being more of a so to say, thrash metal w/ the double guitars and bass kick, to inspire, aspire, being so melodic, to the ever-hardcore sounding track, untitled. I first heard five pointe o off of a MMUSA promotion, went and d/l'd the infity two minutes later, and a week passes, and i have the cd blaring from my car. If ur into GOOD metal bands, killswitch engage, fear factory, ill nino, etc. this will complete your collection. Five pointe o is here to stay, even though they are looking for new vocals and guitars ...and no matter who comes and goes, five pointe o has come to stay.

How does it feel to know that this is one hell of a band?!:
This is one of the best new bands of 2002, no doubt. For those that want heavy metal like Fear Factory, Flaw, and Mudvayne.

Good CD:
This album rox! And I hate it when people place it in the Nu-Metal genre - there is no elements of rap in it. I would put it into the Death Metal genre, tho placing music in such small genres gets on my nerves - so now it's just goin to be metal. My fav. tracks on here is: "Infinity" and "King of the Hill". Too bad they're getting a new vocalist, their old ones were awesome - ranging from Growls to Screams to beautiful singing. The guitars had a wonderful tone and sometimes some good lead work as well as the rythem witch went well with the drumming and blast beats. Thanx for your time, sorry if I bore you.

Change in band members:
Ok, to start off I'd like to say that this album is great! One of my favorites. But I'm not here to review; I'd like to update everyone on the status on the band. They did have a change in the band members, I'm not sure about all of them but I know the lead singer has left. A couple (or maybe just one, or maybe 3?) other people/person left and the backup vocalist (who moved to lead) was replaced by his cousin. The have a new name: Burning Down, but DO NOT confuse them with the band at burningdown.com which is a radio friendly love song band (dunno what they're gonna do about the same name thing... but oh well) I'm not sure where, but it is possible to get a demo cd, they don't have a full one out yet. Go to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fivepointe0 , there you will be able to find up-to-date information on this superb band :P Thanks everybody, now go join that group!! These guys need all the support they can get, going from an underground band to a completely new, underground one... which, if I heard correctly, is ever harder than Five Pointe O was. Can't wait to hear them for myself...
