Anyone heard of, or remember, Life of Agony? I was searching Kazaa for music that I used to have and remembered LOA. Their debut album, 1993's "River Runs Red" is the only one I've heard. I forgot how good these guys are. They're a bit angst ridden and the album is about suicide, but RRR is a good album. Check 'em out if you haven't heard them. If you're downloading, don't make the songs that are titled after days of the week be your first choice...it's just sound bites of a dysfunctional family with the kid eventuallly cutting his wrists in crapper.

theyre reuniting for a couple of gigs in New York. They did kind of go downhill after the debut record though. You have to be in the right mood for "Ugly" (2nd) and "Soul Searching Sun" is average despite a couple of really good tunes

I liked them, nut I have to disaggree with the sound bitesd on RRR. I re-edited my copy with those clips taken out and just the music. It's too bad they got so damn wimpy after the first albums though. Good stuff...just not as heavy.

Right on, more power to ya, thanks for chiming in...
abrasiverock, what do you mean about the sound bites? What I was saying was don't make them the first songs by LOA that you download.
now, don't get me wrong here, I liked Life Of Agony and I'm a fan of his solo stuff but isn't Keith Caputo such a knob!

I like Life of Agony a lot. They hit upon the whole angst ridden suicide theme light years before all the nu-metal crappers were even thought of with their debut.
Ugly is their best record. Sure its a whole lot more mellow, but has great songwriting.
SSS is awful except for maybe 2 songs.

Oh, ok. I missunderstood. In that case I aggree. The songs rule, but those sound bytes are annoying.

They've opened for like 4 bands I've gone to see....they didn't impress me, but the music wasn't hateworthy.
