The 11 additional tracks are a mix of hard-to-find, rare, and unreleased songs the band recorded in their earlier years. Formed in 2001, The Bled has become a powerhouse in the metal and hardcore worlds over the last 6 years. Their last studio, 2005's Found in the Flood, has sold over 50,000 copies in the US, and the band has toured relentlessly building a strong, core fanbase. Their energetic and razor sharp live show is the backbone of their success. They are scheduled to hit the studio in early March with producer Brian McTernan to record the follow up to Found In The Flood. A summer '07 release is expected. ## Images ![Pass The Flask - Image 1](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51yqpoKlphL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Debut re-released *by S***S on Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2010* Of The Bled's four records, I enjoy this one the most. They don't really do anything new, but they do it very well in my opinion. This is a re-release of the 10 tracks on their debut record as well as 11 bonus tracks from previous material, and I think there's one or two previously unreleased tracks. I'll first focus on tracks 1-10 from the original Pass the Flask release. In what I think is a surprisingly mature debut, The Bled meld hardcore, screamcore, and mathcore into a relentless opening 10 tracks that for some reason have a fun, playful feel to them. That's only my opinion, but I think it comes from the song lyrics and titles, which are reminiscent of Every Time I Die, to whom they've often been compared. They move between catchy melodies and hardcore riffs with frequent tempo changes and the occasional heart-stopping breakdown. There are a couple of times where they slow the tempo just before a crushing breakdown, which I find awesomely brutal! Again, it's not something new, it's not some uniquely creative breakdown a la Converge - it's the way The Bled structure the build-up to the breakdown. Check out the opening track, "Red Wedding" and track 4, "Ruth Buzzi Better Watch Her Back" - both have similar parts around 2:10. Another interesting track is track 9, "We Are the Industry." Here they back off into a guitar only melody around 2:50 for about 45 seconds, after which a cymbal kicks in and James Munoz begins to whisper "The Birth and the Death." The base then joins in as James slowly grows louder to the point where he's wailing with all he's got, to pretty cool effect. Track 6, "Porcelain Hearts and Hammers for Teeth," is similar in that it is pretty slow and subdued until midway through when it suddenly bursts into hardcore riffs with some cool tempo changes and some of James' most intense screaming vocals. The song then does the same slow/soft to harcore pattern once more, but with different guitar parts.I think James Munoz does a great job with the vocals on this record, consistently infusing great passion into the screaming vocals as well as some of the clean vocals. There's a slight screamo element to the record, which isn't my thing - but mixed in with everything else it works great for me. The songs don't strike me as whiny or completely self-absorbed - just passionate, like they're desperately trying to get something off their chest as they share their cathartic artistry with the listener.Then there are 11 bonus tracks, which are quite different from the first 10. For one thing, James Munoz' vocals sound more like Daniel Weyandt from Zao. And there is much less melody and constant tempo changes, which I might compare to early ETID (Last Night in Town and Hot Damn!). I haven't listened to these tracks as frequently but they are solid when you're in the mood for that frenetic type of hardcore that just continues from track to track. While I'm mentioning it, it seems pretty clear that Dillinger Escape Plan influenced The Bled quite a bit. One example is track 7, "Get Up You Son of a Bitch, Cause Mickey Loves Ya'," where there are some cool mathcore tempo changes. I could also see comparing this record to a more hardcore (as opposed to metalcore) It Dies Today's "The Caitiff Choir." I hate making comparisons, but just wanted to give you something to help give you a picture of the overall feel of the record.If some of these descriptions sound intriguing to you, I recommend you pick up this record. It's a lot of material for the money, and again - my opinion is that The Bled does a great job of structuring the songs to make them a great listen that is never static and never boring. I swear, it seems that some parts of this review contradict other parts, but that's what this record does - it comes at the listener from different directions, keeping them guessing. I never skip a track on 1-10 (the original Pass the Flask). The record grips me from start to finish, and I hope it'll crush you just as mercilessly. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome Disc *by R***G on Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2010* These guys are really great. A solid mix of breakdowns, slow, fast and technical, with some melodic stuff thrown in as well. Great feel for the kids into hardcore from the late 90s, though I think this cd came out in the early 2000s. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ amazing *by C***T on Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2008* I bought this album because i wanted to get into some new bands in this genre. This band has blown me away with how heavy there stuff is.
