 Nothing short of BRILLIANT! Nov 02, 2009
I am super excited to review this album. I love nothing more than getting finding a new band that completely exceeds all expectations and Halestorm certainly do that.
The album kicks off with a rocking lead of 'Its Not You' and it carries on from there. Lead singer Lzzy has a strong voice with good character, she has depth and shadow in her voice that isn't found often these days. I'm not really into the whole' Screamo' thing when it comes to the harder style of music, I like when the girls sing, and boy does she.
Other highlights are the unforgettable 'Familiar Taste Of Poison' it's haunted me for days, and I also youtubed the video featuring the True Blood cast...
Possibly my fave track would have to be 'Innocence', there's something about the song that keeps me coming back to it.
Truely a standout album, people have been calling them the 'new' Evanesence, I don't think that at all, Lzzy's vice is miles away from Amy Lee's, the music may sound a little like the now defunct band but it has more commercial quality.
I just ordered my second copy for my best friend for christmas....thats how much I am into Halesotrm.
Well done guys (and girl)

 Generic and manifactured Oct 06, 2009
The vocals are pleasing enough, but the lyrics are utterly tired and cliched. Every song sounds like just about anything you'd sound on the radio and the vocals alone are not enough to redeem this album. Even the instrumental contributions sound recycled. I was left unimpressed and unsatisfied. Don't bother with it.
Back to the 80's metal! Sep 26, 2009
I love this CD! Being a metal lover of 80's music, this was refreshing to hear! Lzzy Hale has an awesome voice! Nice to hear a good female singer in a genre dominated by men! Being a single 40 year old mom, the lyrics are empowering! HA! Would recommend highly!
Very Good Female-Fronted Band Sep 16, 2009
As a hardcore rocker and a lover of symphonic metal, I was surprised that I have enjoyed this album as much as I have since it is a very polished first release designed for 'mass popular appeal' (normally a musical death sentence). However, the very powerful, over-the-top, and outstanding female vocal performance by lead singer Lizzy Hale, the catchy tunes and phrasing, and the very good and well-practiced backup band make for a compelling listen. This is not a boring album or a series of plain-jane musical compositions. I found myself playing this album over and over (maybe there is something wrong with me!). This band has been winding up a loooooong time before releasing this album, and the effort is obvious. In any case, I have a weak spot for such powerful female singers - gets me right in the gut (it's a guy thing). My congratulations to this young band on a fine first effort. However, don't expect Bob Dylan lyrics as the message is based on popular music themes (not too much depth). However, give these 'kids' time to grow up a little, and perhaps their lyrics will catch up to the outstanding musical effort shown here. Hey Guys - this gal Lizzy Hale deserves some serious attention and a good listen - she's a very strong and terrific rock singer who can seriously belt it out.
 Awesome Sep 11, 2009
Halestorm opened for Heaven and Hell at House of Blues Atlantic City, NJ. They rocked the house and blew the roof right off. Great performance.
