Billy Talent

My friend recommended me to get into this band so I downloaded this album and oh my.. this stuff is awful.
First of all, there is the guys awful voice. He's singing through his nose so badly that it sounds like he recorded this album when he had pneumonia and frankly the voice gets more irritating by the minute.

Secondly, this is the most forgetable album I've ever heard. NO songs stand out on this album, it just sounds like one drawn out, same sounding headache.

I definately recommend downloading before spending your money on this awful, dull yet painful pile of rubbish.

I pride myself in saying that I like every kind of music, but the first time I heard Billy Talent was in Burn Out Revenge, It gave all the edge I needed. So I decided to check the Cd out, IT"s AWESOME, I find myself amaze because come on I'm a POP HEAd my favorite singer it's Kylie Minogue, but these guys gave me that punk fix that I need... ONe of the best albums I heeard since Kylie's X.....

Love this album so much that I purchased one for my son. Great band!! Great music!!

Billy talent is an awesome band, the songs on this cd are awesome too! I hear that they suck in concert tho... but the cd is sweet!

The only song that I really liked on this album was Red Flag. I heard the song on a late night show and thought that it would be a more punk rock album. It turns out that it is more emo, which I hate.

Im not a kid too, but i only want to skip the bla bla bla stuff

This album is awesome because it unleashe's all the power that billy has. I prefer the second album, but this is too good for first one. I strongly recommend it has an hardcore punk metal whatever fan... A must buy, for your collection of top 10 albums, for real!!! props from PORTUGAL!

I do not typically like punk rock, but I am never one to pass up a new music listening experience. I stumbled upon Billy Talent quite by accident, and now I can't stop listening to the damn CD. I recently purchased BTII, and I don't like it quite as much, despite the fact that it leans more on the rock side then it does on the punk. I definitely recommend this CD to...well, anyone. If I like it, anyone can. My favorite tracks are 'The River Below' and 'Standing in the Rain' although I must say... I like every track. The vocals are unique and rejuvenating and the music is well composed. Perhaps I say this because I'm not a punk music guru... but this CD sounds refreshingly ORIGINAL to me!

THe album is wonderful. The lyrics are meaningful. I thoroughly enjoyed
listening and it makes you feel as though there is life out there. Bravo!!

I thought this album was better than their latest, Billy Talent II. A LOT better. The 2nd album was kinda edging away from punk rock, and going into more "rock".

1. This Is How It Goes (11/10) Great start! I love this song! It's exciting and upbeat, and just flat out awesome. Lovethe guitar riff. The bridge isn't all that good though.

2. Living In The Shadows (7/10) Boring kinda. It's kinda repetive. Don't like it that much. I usually skip it.

3. Try Honestly (12/10) Everyone should like this song. Awesome. Chorus is just crazy.

4. Line And Sinker (8/10) Like it the first time you hear it. Then it just wears away. Fun to sing though.

5. Lies (10/10) Catchy. It's a fun and happy song.

6. The Ex (14/10) Love this song. It's my favorite Billy Talent song, and one of my favorite songs of all time. I just love the chorus alot, it's soo awesome. And the verses don't get any better. They could've made a better video though.

7. River Below (10/10) Popular song. Not too crazy about it though. It's great and catchy, and fun to sing. Just not too crazy about it.

8. Standing In The Rain (1337/10) LOLOLOLOL This is song is flatout funny! HAHAHAHA I don't even know why. lolz. It's fun to make fun of it, cuz the singing is horrible.

9. Cut The Curtains (6/10) Gets old really fast. It's boring and dull and annoying. Skip it.

10. Prisoners Of Today (11/10)Here's a good song. I like the beat, and the guitar. It's a good song, I thought it sould have been a single.

11. Nothing To Lose (13/10) Song about suicide. I think it's a really good song. Sad, and reflective.

12. Voices Of Violence (8.3/10) Don't really like this song too much. The chorus is weird. It's alright.

Overall, a great album if you skip the bad songs. I'd rate it 89/100. Good album. If you're thinking about buying Billy Talent II, get this first.

Well I'v been following Billy Talent sinse they were called Pezz... I dont know if anyone really remembers that far back when they released there first album "Watoosh!". My favourite song from that album without a doubt was When I Was A Little Girl closely followed up by Bird In The Basement, they really made the band. But I have always wondered why they changed the name of their band I mean what was wrong with Pezz ?? I love Pezz they are the best lollies in the world... Who knows maybe they didn't want to be mistaken for a lolly. Anyway you guys are still high up in my charts although I beleive Billy Talent was a better album then Billy Talent II. Why ?? Because there where was way more hits on Billy Talent that could have gone all the way and there was a lot more use of Ben Harper's strange but addicting screaming. So if anyone remembers the days of Pezz and the reason for the name change please comment I would love to know.

666 is a wonderful live DVD, and it really captures Billy Talent's punk rock energy and spirit. The extra cd is also a lovely plus.
If you haven't gotten the pleasure to see this band live, this DVD is a must.
