| Ok, I know there probably aren't a ton of Tourniquet fans here (Fundy, Endy, maybe 7thSec & Topshot).
And I'm certianly not a huge fan myself. As a matter of fact I have owned almost every Tourniquet album, and have traded (or given away) all except "Where Moth & Rust Destroy" and "Carry the Wounded". But I was recently given a CDR of their "Acoustic Archives" disc and I am majorly impressed! This is a very cool album, I will definately have to get my hands on an original copy. This will probably be my favorite album by the band.
What do you think of this album? Or have you even heard it? _________________ "I used to be indecisive.......... Now I'm not sure."

| Staybrite the "Acoustic Archives" is that really an acoutic Tourniquet album, or it's only the name? | |

| Never been a Tourniquet fan but "Acoustic Archives" sounds interesting. Might have to check it out. | |

| There are 10 songs on the album and 9 of them are completely acoustic (there is one full electrical song at the end). I'm pretty sure they are all songs that are original Tourniquet compositions (from other albums) but just redone acoustically Here is a youtube clip with one of the songs from the album. (the sound is actually a bit better than this on the album). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FztYCggb7ww&feature=related _________________ "I used to be indecisive.......... Now I'm not sure."

| I had this album and it was even numbered and autographed by Ted. Stupidly I traded it away some time ago. | |

| Oh man, that stinks. But I can imagine it might not be a big hit with even the die-hard Tourni fans, as it is something of a departure for them (even given all of their musical changes). _________________ "I used to be indecisive.......... Now I'm not sure."

| I thought it was a pretty good idea, to hear some of their older stuff done acoustically. Artwork was agreed by all at CMR (at the time) to be rather ropey! I haven't listened to it in years, and probably won't for a few more years as it wasn't much to my taste. But it is a good album, and interesting listen. Those who like the quieter side of things would be welll advised to go and grab a copy. Fundy _________________ My Christian Metal Website......... Silence Is Madness

| Acoustic archives is good...to be honest though I've heard better acoustic releases coming out of the Christian arena. Having said that, Tourniquet is my favorite metal band. I've got all their CDs, DVDs and some t-shirts to boot. I saw them here in Germany at last years CRN...best band of the show. Of course that's just my opinion. I think Tourniquet needs to come out with a new release for the fans. The Tourniquet fan base is usually very loyal, but I think people will lose interest if they wait too long between releases. That happened with Boston back in the days. | |

| It's the fundy rating system! 1 - Stop The Bleeding 10/10 Brilliant album from start to finish. An amazing thrash metal masterpiece. 2 - Pathogenic Ocular Dissonance 9/10 Great album, with some amazing songs on it. 3 - Psycho Surgery 8/10 Really good album although slightly too short. Broken Chromosomes is probably one of the best christian metal songs ever written. 4 - Where Moth And Rust Destroy 8/10 A return to form for the Tourniquet guys. Didn't like the last song, but the rest of the album is very good. Especially when Luke doesn't growl! 5 - Crawl To China 7/10 Hugely underrated album that really is Luke on top form. The album fits his vocals perfectly and (apart from the artwork) it hit the nail on the head. 6 - Carry The Wounded 7/10 Nice EP. The ballads are all good, but I can't rate it too highly as it's only 4 songs. 7 - Vanishing Lessons 6/10 Didn't really like this when I first heard it. Didn't like the vocals much, and it seemed a bit too "modern" for me. 8 - Microscopic View Of A Rather Messy Realm 2/10 Don't like this album at all. Artwork is great though, and the layout is superb. Fundy _________________ My Christian Metal Website......... Silence Is Madness

| I love the one plugged in song and a few of the acoustic tracks are good. My copy is autographed by Luke Easter. | |

| I never bothered to search this out since there was nothing for my show on it. Is the last song a new one or just a different version of a previous one? _________________ "If you are not concerned about your neighbor's salvation, you should be concerned about your own."

I believe it is a completely new tune, and it is a galloping bone crushing song. _________________ "I used to be indecisive.......... Now I'm not sure."

That's the only cd of theirs I like. Being more modern was why I liked it. It wasn't thrash at all! _________________ I might have decided, or maybe not, that I should or shouldn't, depending on the issue or non-issue, to possibly share or not share, any thoughts, opinions, or facts (that might not be deemed factual by some), due to possible fear of any misinterpretation or retribution. https://christianhardmusic.niceboard.com/ | |
