Published on July 26th 2005
The progression of Flint, MI's Chiodos is a rather strange one. Formerly the Chiodos Bros., the band's sound was essentially a lame duck ripoff of -- you guessed it -- the Blood Brothers. With the name change comes a severe departure from that sound. Generally speaking, the band now treads a more melodic post-hardcore territory with some screams of the Anatomy Of A Ghost / Saosin variety, but with a slight Horse The Band influence in the outfit's liberal use of keyboards and scattered metalcore riffs/structure. However, there are striking vocal and style similarities to Scary Kids Scaring Kids as well; only, Chiodos are a bit more original and about a thousand times as dynamic. In that sense, you could sort of say that Chiodos' second full-length, All's Well That Ends Well, delivers where SKSK's The City Sleeps In Flames failed miserably to.

Whoever wrote this review is ridiculously wrong.......how can anyone say that Chiodos is not original and just a bunch of wannabes copying other bands' styles........sure they may have some influences that may show through, but so does every band that has ever written music.....that doesn't make them unoriginal.......find me a band that sounds like Chiodos......you won't b/c there isn't one omgoodness. actually "the chiodos bros" was taken from killer klowns from outer space, which is a terrible movie.......in a good way i guess. I noticed how several of you said that this band is NOT a ripoff of blood brothers, contrary to what the review said. however, the review did not say they were a ripoff of the blood brothers, it said their old name, "the chiodos bros" is a ripoff of blood brothers. This album is FAMAZING! Why is everyone talking about a video game ...? Don't they have sites to talk about that? Well .. anyway ... I saw them live once, and I'm planning to see them (and The Used) at The Taste of Chaos tour (no matter who doesn't like the line-up). They are my 2nd favorite band and are insanely awesome and very different from today's crappy music. i ♥ chiodos. hey kids, dont let your girlfriend see them alone. the band might sleep with her Awesome CD. DAMN what a great cd! Three!!! whoem ever rated this cd a 3 must of been high or drunk while raiting it cuz there no way they deserve a 3 they deserve a 234,029,384,029,384,029,384 afenadi stars..... i LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE the chiodos they are my FAVOTIRE BAND and this CD is the bestt CD i love the guitar in it and drums and his voice is estatic!!!! YAY awesome CD This is my favorite CD i own, i cant stop listing to it. i love the chiodos. omg i LOVE chiodos, the songs seem to blend in with each other very well and there is some piano in it but don't worry it doesn't last long. Baby, you wouldn't last a minute on the creek is the best song and check out the new video for one day women will all become monsters! Chiodos' cd is great but it loses some energy towards the end of the cd, but then picks up with the last song. Chiodos' cd is great but it loses some energy towards the end of the cd, but then picks up with the last song. There from Flint... Anyways, I take back what I said about the stickers. I like this album. The guys voice is catchy. Lindsay quit lollygagging is by far the the best song of my week. I love it, every heartfelt second of it. I've played like 4 - 5 rpgs and no other ones I like. Isn't 6, technically 3 in U.S. Final Fantasy is far more imporatant then this band. that woulda been a hell of a show. i considered makin the drive to chicago for it, and then hookin up with some chi town friends but my cars a piece. VV I'm going to risk slaughter by diverting the comments AWAY from shitty Final Fantasy and back to the band at hand. These guys rock. Sadly, last time I went to see them with Murder By Death, I missed there set. I was offered an acoustic set on the sidewalk by the guitarist though. 7 was awesome, 8 wasn't as good but great. 9 had terrible characters. 10 was gay, X-2 was gayer. "Toledo, FF 9 was awesome." Toledo, FF 9 was awesome. I played FF 1-7 and beat them all and maxed out my chars in all of em. Then FF 8 came out and I couldnt even take the time to beat it, because it was terrible. Thankfully FF X renewed my faith in the series. Speaking of whick, the powerviolence band Mind Eraser uses the boss music from ff5 as a riff in one of their songs. Whether or not it was on purpose is still to be determined. "I'LL STOP STABBING WHEN YOU STOP SCREAMING" apparently i'm the only person who really liked 9. in my opinion, by far the best FF on playstation, and second only to 3. 8's story and materia isnt as good as 7, but 9 is terrible. I like 8. fuck 9, x, x-2 I got some stickers in the mail for this band...I didn't like them...so therefore, I don't like this band. Hey, score is for final fantasy this shit is obnoxious. don't bother. Wow this dude sounds exactly like Anthony Green. Whatever, it's catchy. That artmwork is way badass. It really makes me think of Final Fantasy. Amano would be proud! " guitarist is way impressive." Congratulations, Jones, you've made me laugh for the first time. I haven't heard the new one yet (thank the lord, our god Sabu) but that fucking "Get Ur Freak On" song makes i feel like I'm stuck on a never-ending Tilt-A-Whirl ride while needles stab my brain. A lame duck ripoff of the Blood Brothers? Maybe someone should do some research before posting reviews? Just a suggestion... this singe rreally gets on my nerves. i dont really like his voice at all. packaging is beautiful. music shreds. my favorite release of the year. singer's range is unreal. guitarist is way impressive. Score's for Mastadon. That's not D & D artwork, it's a parody of the old Square RPG games. Like the early Final Fantasies, Chrono Trigger, etc. Thanks. so ya, if you thought this was a blood brothers rip off, for the name, your an idiot. look at the back of the box of killer clowns from outer space and team america and tons of other b-horror movies and you will learn. second, this band is amazing, one of the best bands i have ever seen in my life, not to mention this album is so sick. check it out for your selfs. if you are to scene for your own good or metal is all you like, chances are, you wont like this, but if you like feel good music, i suggest you listen. the artwork is by paul romano right is that how you spell it? meh, not nearly as bad as i thought it would be. some really cool moments here and there, but for the most part nothing all that memorable. I just got back from Horse The Band. My bro used to play these guys all the time, and I never found them very good - as they sounded like a Coheed ripoff with crappier singing. I heard these new songs and they're way better, but the changes from (kinda) pop to (kinda) metal are a bit awkward. Although both parts work, they don't meld well enough to make it an entire song ... it's more like 2 songs in one. At least on the two track that I heard - aka these links. i started listening to this and then realized how absolutely drunk i was, which must have been the reason i was enjoying it. i sobered up, put this on, and all it made me want to do was drink. ive been seeing this band regularly for 3 years and they never sounded anything like the blood brothers. All's Well That Ends Well definitely has its moments... Cause that cover is niicee. Hey Brian, whats the design firm/company for this CD? score if for killer klowns from outer space |
