Crave (Cyclefly Album)
''Crave'' is the second album from the band Cyclefly, released on 8 April 2002. The album, originally called ''Tales from the Fish Bowl'', had a vote by fans to decide the album art. Reception Andy Capper of NME wrote an astonishingly scathing one-star review of the album, decrying it as "a turgid, tuneless, completely crass piece of mix and match nu-metal" and describing the vocals as "whiny and useless", while also referring to fans of the nu metal genre as "wankers" and attacking them for being allegedly unintelligent and "easy to swindle". A far less derisive review came from Harry Guerin, speaking from RTÉ, who highlighted the acoustic content of the record over the heavier material and expressed optimism in the band's future endeavours: "''Crave'' is very much a case of a band with a work in progress sign hanging over their heads". Greg Leos of ''Unearthed'' gave the album a positive review, stating that it "has enough texture, power and hunger to leave listeners wa ...

Initiated in 1991, the database was first made available on the Internet in 1994. AllMusic is owned by RhythmOne. History AllMusic was launched as ''All Music Guide'' by Michael Erlewine, a "compulsive archivist, noted astrologer, Buddhist scholar and musician". He became interested in using computers for his astrological work in the mid-1970s and founded a software company, Matrix, in 1977. In the early 1990s, as CDs replaced LPs as the dominant format for recorded music, Erlewine purchased what he thought was a CD of early recordings by Little Richard. After buying it he discovered it was a "flaccid latter-day rehash". Frustrated with the labeling, he researched using metadata to create a music guide. In 1990, in Big Rapids, Michigan, he founded ''All Music Guide' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
