    great, arterial black is maybe my fav song ever

  • Etherial Attack!
    author: beau@mediaocracy.net

    The "Arterial Black" track alone is well worth the price of this album! I had an all out web assault to find this once etherial track. Should have come to CD Baby first. :) Now if I could just out find out more on other projects, the contributing artists, etc.

  • You Rock!
    author: Mofarocker33

    i just got the Cd after weeks of waiting bcause of shipping to Germany.... I think the Album ist really great! The Band should tour around with Ill Nino or Bands like it, to make them more popular! Btw. i was shocked when i opend the jewel case with a self burned copy of the disk. i mean it is well done with the logo on it, first i imagined that it was a illegal copy... whatever... self burned or not, really really great - 5 stars!!! *cant wait for the next album*

  • Wild Ride !
    author: Tron

    Great flowing album. Has elements of the storybook concept. Want to know what the band was thinking when they performed "before the blackout" Whassup with that Boys???

  • COMPLETLY AUSOME
    author: Josh

    Completly ausome album all of the songs are insanely good. I hope that they start making some music vids cause im tired of seeing all of the nerds on Youtube trying to make some out of guitar hero clips

  • author: Chris Janssen

    This album is definately a must have for anyone. I've made my friends listen to it, and they all like different genres of music, all have loved it. It doesn't really matter what you listen to, I prefer Metal, Ashley likes Jack Johnson(barf), Bryan likes gay techno, and Courtnie like R&B... Just buy it, you won't regret it, plus this one of the cheapest CDs I've ever bought!!! definately worth alot more... The songs on Guitar Heroes are nothing in comparison to the rest. Avoid getting to main stream please!!! This band is like Nickelback had sex with Seether and produced a boarderline hardcore band with a really good 90's rock singer. Intrumentals are freaking amazing....

  • author: Tara Henderson

    I absolutely LOVE Drist! This cd is their best yet! If u like excellent guitar playing then hands down this is the cd for you! Marcus Henderson rules on 'Arterial Black', ' The Scalpel', & 'Two Hours'!

  • Great album
    author: Matt Layher

    Excellent album by an excellent band. Received my CD relatively quickly and the price was pretty darned good too. Thank you!

  • It's Great
    author: Dustin Taylor

    This song, I just discovered recently, and I already like it more than my favorite.

  • AWESOME
    author: WILLIAM KARMAN

    THIS CD IS RECOMMMENDABLE AND A ALBUM YOU SHOULD NOT PASS UP THANK YOU CD BABY

  • Leaves you wanting more
    author: Charles Parris

    I always give "new to me" music a good listen to before I develope an opinion. This one rocked hard and when the cd finished, I wanted more! In my opinion it's the better of the 2 Drist alblums on avaliable at the moment. If you only can get one at this time, GET THIS ONE! I am egerly awaiting the next one and trying to wear out this CD!

  • Modern Heavy Metal At Its Best!
    author: Matthew Ruiz

    An amazing album. I first heard Drist on Guitar Hero, playing Decontrol, and then "Arterial Black" on Guitar Hero II. I also love "The Scalpel" and "Stripped" "Push Me Off" which I heard before I got the album. True Alternative Metal/Heavy Metal at its very best. If you want some great underground music, buy this album! You will not be disappointed!

  • awesome CD
    author: Dennis McNeil

    This CD rocks. The only reason why I bought it was because some of your songs were featured on Guitar Hero. Decontrol (Guitar Hero 1) and Arterial Black (Guitar Hero 2). It's too bad you guys didn't put one on Guitar Hero 3. Also, Stripped is good too. I've heard it before...from Scooter (good techno musician btw)

  • hi
    author: Adam

    just saying wazzup

  • Kick Ass
    author: Adam

    Drist is awsome Maybe my fav. band now hmmmmmm.... idk but they fucking rock

    author: Ricky

  • Fan"freakin"Tastic
    author: LILA

    A unique sound that is similar to a combination of Seether & ShineDown only better!

  • Love it
    author: Lewis Westfall II

    this is one of my most favorite cds. Heard about them from guitar hero II.

  • Excellent
    author: John Rodenbiker

    One of the best hard rock/metal albums in my collection. I came for Decontrol but stayed for the entire album. Very, very good, and highly recommended. I wish the band toured more widely -- they seem to stick to southern California -- so I had a chance to see them live.

  • Better than Expected!!
    author: Paul

    I heard them on guitar hero like most did. Liked what I heard there so I thought I'd go looking for a CD. Picked this up. Not dissapointed at all. One of the better albums I've bought in a long time. Sad they don't have a record label yet. They deserve one!! If your thinking about buying it, don't hesitate. You WILL enjoy this album. Later -Paul

  • Incredible Album
    author: Darren

    Bought this after hearing Arterial Black on Guitar Hero II, and immediately looked into the band. Needless to say, the album didn't disappoint, and every single song is amazing. 'Before the Blackouts' is the only song I skip sometimes, everything else is great. Best album I've heard in ages.

  • wow!!!
    author: dustin michaud

    author: Angel of Death

    This cd is so awesome... all the songs rock... the guitar solos are killer

  • author: JC rocker

    A nicely mixed cd that includes a mixture of heavy and unique guitar riffs. well worth buying.

  • best cd i have bought in awhile
    author: outlaws1975

    GREAT CD ONE THAT SHOULD BE IN ANYONE'S COLLECTION.VERY ENJOYABLE HASN'T LEFT MY CD PLAYER SINCE THE DAY I GOT IT.

  • A Great Album!
    author: Kenneth

    This album is great and actually one of the best albums I have bought in a while! I only found one problem with it, which was the final song on the album is literally like 12 minutes of nothing. That is easily overlooked though, as every other track on the album is nothing but greatness. This is a great buy and I recommend this album to everyone who enjoys this genre of music, and even those who don't!

  • BEST CD I HAVE BOUGHT IN A WHILE!
    author: Brad

    This cd is great. It is solid all the way through with high points along the way. Best cd I have bought in a long time. Hearing this cd alone puts Drist in with my top bands including Seether, Chevelle, and Tool. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

  • love it!!

    my boyfriend loves it!!! thanks!!!!

  • FREAKING AWESOME!
    author: BozMetal

    4 top knotch songs! Arterial Black rocks - no wonder Guitar Here selected that song! A definate keeper. MORE PLEASE!

  • author: P.A.

    A good CD would be one that I will listen to and enjoy at least 60% of the songs, Orchids and Ammunition is a GREAT CD I enjoy all of the songs :).

  • Awesome!
    author: TJ

    Love the CD all in all good all around. I was a little saddened that the CD had no lyrics, that being one of the main reasons I thought I'd get the CD. Other than Love the band

  • great cd!
    author: John

    I first heard about Drist from their song, "Arterial Black" that was on Guitar Hero. I fell in love with the song, and decided to go poking around online, to see what I could find. This is one of the better cds that I've bought, and can listen to the whole cd without really skipping anything. I highly recommend buying this cd!

  • AWESOME!
    author: Jason

    This CD rocks. I bought it for Arterial Black and Decontrol but thrououghly enjoyed every single track on it. There are no bad songs. If you're on the fence about purchasing this CD, buy it. You definitely won't regret it.

  • Lovin it, Baby!
    author: Hannah

    I'm lovin' it, whole-heartedly. It's great quality, great music, and all my friends who have heard it so far want it. Expect more copies sold! Excellent... Excellent...

  • Great
    author: Angelo

    The promt service I received was the best. I orded the CD and before I had a chance to check on the delivery date the cd was at my door. Great service. Great CD

  • Surpassed expectations!
    author: Edwin Saez

    I really only bought the album for Decontrol and Arterial Black, but was I surprised that the rest of the album is just as terrific. Their cover of the Depeche Mode song is great too. I highly recommend this song to any Rock fan.

  • It is one of those cd that you listen to again and again and it gives you goosbu
    author: Kayla Koivisto

    This cd is amazing. It's the kind you listen to over and over again and almost every song gives me goosbumps!

  • Awesome CD, Must have!!
    author: Wendy

    I heard the first CD and had to have this one. I'm thrilled to have gotten it!! I highly recommend this band.

  • This CD is a MUST BUY!!!!!
    author: Hamish

    this band is the greatest band on earth. they are so good that will be painting thie double-eagle on by bedroom wall!!!!!!!!!

  • these guys rock
    author: trav

    i love this c.d i liked they're last one but i loved this one. the song stripped is incredible. i would buy this c.d a million times because its that good and im not kidding. BUY IT

  • Killer Album
    author: Nik Powell

    I already liked what i head from guitar hero and guitar hero 2 and i decided i was gonna get the cd, when i did i was blown away with every track on it. I couldn't believe my ears when i heard the song "Stripped," I had to listen to the lyrics to realize it was a Rammstein cover from their album "Seinsucht." Drist is one band who really needs to be signed by a major label and could be a huge band.

  • Buy it
    author: Ron

    Great album from a great band. Cd has several tracks that you'll listen to over and over again, but you got to buy it first!!!

  • WOW
    author: nick

    I couldnt believe how good this cd was, I got it in my car playing over and over, its just one of those cd's that you have to listen to.

  • Definately a repeat CD.
    author: Ashley Foster

    This is one of those CD's that I leave on repeat. For days! I just cant get enough of it.

  • How are these guys unsigned?
    author: Zach

    Like most people, I discovered this band through Guitar Hero. The only song I had listened to was "Arterial Black" and I was not sure what to expect from the rest of the CD. Thankfully, this is truly one of those albums that you can play from beginning to end. It is a truly great slab of modern hard rock that gets better with each listen. As for CD Baby, I ordered this CD and received it just 2 days later in perfect condition. Do yourself a favor and buy this CD if you have not done so already. If you do decide to buy it, buy it from CD Baby.

  • great cd. delivery was fast too
    author: tony

    great cd. definately one of my better purchases recently

  • Awesome! Fast Delivery and Album is Great!
    author: Chris

    The album is great and the songs all pack a punch, so in the end you just have aching ears wanting more!

  • awesome
    author: Drist

    fast deliver, great condition. great music selection, will definetely be telling my friends and shopping here again.

  • awesome cd!
    author: Vanessa

    I can't believe Drist isn't a signed artist!! This CD is totally awesome. I can't stop listening to it!

  • Awesome CD!
    author: Derek

    I got this album recently and I haven't been able to take it out of the CD player. Drist has great talent and I'm surprised they aren't blowing up HUGE right now! I definately recommend this CD for anyone who loves blazing guitar solo's and great lyrics.

  • Very awesome band!
    author: Dennmart

    Like many others, I first heard about Drist from the Guitar Hero games. First I heard "Decontrol" in the original Guitar Hero, and thought that this band was good. After listening to "Arterial Black" in the sequel, I was hooked, and was very curious about the rest of their songs. So I bought this CD, and needless to say, I wasn't disappointed at all. While most songs have a slower tempo than the aforementioned songs from the game, the rest of the CD is a really good album that shows off how great musically this band is, instead of being speed-punk thrashers with no direction. A great CD, and fans of the songs that appear in Guitar Hero will love the rest as well.

  • Excellent CD
    author: Fxa

    This CD is great it's one of the few CD's that i can listen to, and not skip around trying to find a good song.

  • AWSOME
    author: Shaun

    The CD is great! i love you guys! you should come down to south florida! ill be there!!!!

  • CD BABY ROCKS
    author: Ryan

    Cd itself was in great condition. i signed up for 3 - 6 day shipping and it came to my house in 2 Days after it left the warehouse on thursday. It got to my house on sat. so its 2 days if ya dont count warehouse day. so i was not expecting it to come in and was very pleased with it. Il definitly get all my cd's here if they arn't in stores like drist. Drist rules!

  • Very cool band, love the album and will be looking forward to hearing more from
    author: Darren Rickman

    This cd was a great buy, and it was cool to hear the other tracks as i had only herd Decontrol and arterial black. It was cool to shop with cd baby they were great i will be shopping with them again!!!

  • Awesome band and loved them in GH
    author: Blaze Inoichi

    Really awesome band, i love Decontrol and Arterial Black, i want this CD and i will keep playing the songs on Guitar Hero

  • Stunned
    author: Korey

    I heard "Decontrol" on Guitar Hero and loved it. Then I heard "Arterial Black" on Guitar Hero 2 and just had to buy the cd. I must admit that I was stunned those two tracks weren't the only good songs on there. The whole cd was top notch.

  • Great CD and Band
    author: Nick

    I First heard of the band Drist on the video game Guitar Hero so I thought that i would check them out. I bought the CD today,and i would have to say that it is awesome. The Band Drist itself is great and im still trying to figure out why they are not big yet, but anyway, Orchids and Ammunition is a great CD and i highly recommend it!

  • Awesome
    author: Nate

    I loved the album, The CD was perfect.

  • It was amazing good and full of energy
    author: Brandon Dzwonkowski

    Drist is a very good band and they are one of the only bands who have amazingly good songs and energy in every single song.

  • An instant standout in my collection
    author: Ryan Lower

    This is an absolutely awesome CD. Decontrol and Arterial Black are two standout songs for the obvious Guitar Hero connection reason, but this CD (with the exception of Before the Blackouts) is stellar start to finish. One of the few in my collection I can truly listen to from start to finish (again, excluding Before the Blackouts).

  • author: Jon Bilbrey

    This cd was freaking awesome... i wasn't really expecting all the song to actually be good... but drist pulled it off, you just don't hear an entire good cd these days. great job.

  • awesome guitar riff's
    author: brian kaczorowski

    after hearing " decontrol " on my guitar hero , i had to get the cd from which this song came from. all i can say is that marcus henderson is now , one of my favorite guitarists! can't wait to get more!!

  • The best metal band of today, period.
    author: Arobin Fishgod

    I bought this CD because of Decontrol's appearance as the best bonus track in the Guitar Hero video game. I was blown away by the awesomeness of every song from start to finish. A modern, lightning-quick version of what made the original metal bands great...and Arterial Black has the sickest solo I've ever heard.

  • Opened My Eyes!!
    author: Kelly L. Hickman

    This CD is fantastic! I'd heard parts of some of the songs on this disc and was pretty impressed. I bought the CD hoping that I'd hear enough good sonds to be pleased with my purchase. However, what I got put a smile on my face and blew me away. I plan to follow Drist now and believe the rest of the mainstream music world will soon stand up and take notice of this band.

  • This is great!
    author: Issac Trujillo (NMSU Music Major)

    The CD is awsome it is the sound that American Metal/Rock has needed, it is heavy but inteligable, it has good melodic writing played by excellent musicians. Its good to hear the Bay area again this cd reminds me of the first time i heard "Kill'em All". It is a good buy if you miss real american trash metal.
