I'm one of the people who said i liked the cd. It's really good. Why is everyone so bitter towards Grace Nocturnal? They are a really talented band. If you don't like them, don't listen to them. It's that easy. - Fri, 6 Jun 2003 11:53pm
Anonymous The problem with the idiots that come on this board is that they're jealous. It's as simple as that. They know there band isn't going to go anywhere because they play that crappy metal or punk shit that no one likes. - Sat, 7 Jun 2003 1:40pm

I agree, there is a lot of jealousy on this web site. We are all supporters of music, so lets just root for local bands no matter what. I don't like some types of music, but if they're from Victoria........Well good for them, it's nice to show the rest of Canada how much we have to offer. - Sat, 7 Jun 2003 5:31pm

Anonymous Just because I don't like Grace Nocturnal doesn't mean I'm jealous, or my band sucks or I don't have anything good to say, I just don't have anything good to say about them. This is a forum where people can voice their opinions so quit yer crying. Not everyone in this town is gonna love you. Waaahhh Boo Hoo! - Mon, 9 Jun 2003 1:59pm

david kopp I own the cd. I think it is awesome. But if you have seen them live lately and heard their new stuff you know that the upcoming cd is going to be even better. - Mon, 9 Jun 2003 9:30pm

Germ do you honestly think any of those guys waste their fucking time on a shitty, asshole infested board like this?... HMMMMMMMM? - Tue, 10 Jun 2003 1:25pm
Anonymous Yes...yes I do.
You're here posting so I guess that makes you a bit of a hypocrite! - Tue, 10 Jun 2003 1:36pm
Germ Actually I'm not in the band. I don't know the guys, and I'm not a big fan of their music. But do you really think they would pay any attention to bullshit like this? You're a fuckin idiot my friend. Reply to this anonymously all you want. No one cares. - Tue, 10 Jun 2003 3:30pm
Antibacterial You're the one slagging. Dig yourself a little bit deepper into your pit of contradiction. Come on, if I'm a fucking idiot then what does that make you? I even put a nice fake name in this time so you can slag me by 'name'. I never even suggested YOU were in the band "Germ" so chill out and stop the hate! - Tue, 10 Jun 2003 3:59pm
ya ya ya Its funny.........Im not in the band...I play in another vic band. What gets me is that if I dont really like a certain bands music, and then I meet them, and talk to them, and they turn out to be great people....my whole idea will change about them....I bet its the same for everyone here..put a life to the music and it means way more....oh ya I just about forgot to say....eat shit this message board sucks - Tue, 10 Jun 2003 4:57pm
King Bong We get a lot of this shit too..don't bother us either ..in fact we kinda get off bugging and flaming these negative types...I have not heard the CD myself but I have been told that is is quite good..and anyway nothing said on this board will ave ANY effect on GN or their future..I'm sure they know that..I say Bravo GN you guys worked hard and you deserve the attention..and as far as I'm concerned y'all just pavin the road for BONG!!! They more bands that sign outta here the better..I don't mind waitin my turn..go for it boys...I'm right behind ya!!!
Peace,

Anonymous When I first received this CD, I�ve got to admit my skepticism was in the forefront. Why would I be so critical of a CD before the plastic wrapping came off? The name: Grace Nocturnal. It sounded pretty cheesy, like a Goth band from the eighties. I had flashes of vampyro, Anne Rice influenced music seeping out of my stereo. To my surprise though, the sound was solid, original and unpretentious. Seven songs: and all of which show a different face. The track �Love me Down� is an upbeat, distortion laced song that seems to be an unintended ode to 60�s garage style rebellion, while tracks like �not the way� takes on a more paced and dreamlike atmosphere. Distant vocals, and electric, whining guitars. The tracks jump from one corner of the mind to the other, showing an uncompromising level of diversity and energy throughout the whole band. Perhaps I should rely on more cliches such as �don�t judge a book by its cover�. If you find yourself in the mood for some quality home-grown music, this is definitely a worthy choice. http://www.brandxmedia.org - Wed, 11 Jun 2003 11:59am

I think The Dude summed it up.....

I saw them play a few months ago (went to see The Fine Options open for them), and I really enjoyed the set.... Nothing I haven't heard before, but a fun nothing I haven't heard before..... Big thick guitars, big thick drums, big thick bass, and big think vocals.......

But on the CD, it's like they recorded the live set, then turned down everything but the vocals.... It sounds like it was mixed for the radio, and I mean that in a bad way.... The music is _good_, and I can hear the band playing well, but I can't feel like I could at the live show.... I mean, it would be one thing if I just didn't like the CD, that would be fine, but it's a bad treatment of good music...... I think it fell victim to bad production....

Well... I suppose it's "well produced", but it's produced in a way that doesn't appeal to me at all.... - Sat, 14 Jun 2003 4:45am
