Rosesdead have released their third album titled "Stages." This album is one that really shows off what the guys can do here. It has a crushing sound while being not too over the top to loose people on it. This album has a similar sound to that of an As I Lay Dying or an All That Remains, so if you are into those bands, you could really like this album. These guys have done a pretty decent job on the album. When looking at the recording quality of this album, the album has been recorded fairly well, but just has something missing, might just be the quality over time. The instrumentation on the album isn't too bad, the band can play although nothing to really wow you. Now onto the vocals and lyrics, the vocals are this album are not bad, but they could be a little better. The singer here just has a feel like he just has one more step to go before he is at the level of other metal bands in their category. However he is clear and you can pretty much tell what he is saying so thats a plus. With the lyrics, the band has taken an approach to sing about the dark times and all the bad that can happen in your life. Sometimes it is good to hear and know that others are feeling the same thing and going through what you are. It is what the fans of this music want to hear. If you are looking for a single to this album, give the song "Night Danger" your attention as it is the best song on the album and gives you a sense for what the album is about. Rosesdead have made an overall decent album that metal fans should be able to get behind here, We like this album and can't wait to see if anything else comes of it. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think. They have since called it quits (R.I.P.)

Rosesdead - The Relationship Between Music And Numbers

1. Marcello Carbrera Is A Crook 
2. Why People Move To Florida To Die?
3. Everything You Do Causes Cancer 

Rosesdead have released their second album titled "The Relationship Between Music And Numbers." This album is a continuation of the sound and style the band created on their debut album. The band has a really screamo feel to this album and it reminds us of bands like Drop Dead Gorgeous and Boys Night Out. If you liked those bands, you could like this album. This album has been done pretty good. When looking at the recording quality of this album, the album has been recorded fairly well and the instrumentation on this album goes quite well also. Now onto the vocals and lyrics, the vocals here are done pretty well for screamed vocals, although it is harder to understand the lyrics, while these lyrics could use a little tweaking to get more of a meaningful story out of it, they have been done well overall. If you are looking for a single to this album, there isn't one, so just pick a song or listen to the whole thing as it is only three songs, and you well get the feel of the album. Rosesdead have done a decent job expending out their sound and continuing on what they started. This album gives the band a bigger library and makes the band have a little more pull which we like. solid job on this album. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of it. They have since caled it quits (R.I.P.)

Rosesdead - Rosesdead

1. Power Of The Lotus 
2. Without Wings
3. Waste Of Life
4. It Comes With Time 

The debut album from Rosesdead is four songs full of heaviness and guitars that will make you feel like you are in the wrong place. This band has done an alright job on this album and they have the feel of fast punk and screamo. When listening to this album as far as recording quality, you can tell it needs a bit of work, but as a bands first album, it seems to do alright for them. By no means does this album sound great, but you can hear that the guitars and the vocals/screaming is done pretty good. If you are looking for a single to listen to from this album, there is not one, so just give this album a listen by picking a song and you'll find out the feel and sound of these guys. From listening to just these four songs, you can get the idea that the band is on the right path and with the right recording of their songs, could very well make something of this. Listen to this album and follow what this band does. they have since called it quits (R.I.P.)
