About the Artist
Buddy Nielsen - Vocals Dave Miller - Guitar/Background Vocals Garrett Zablocki - Guitar/Background Vocals Mike Glita - Bass/Background Vocals Dan Trapp - Drums

Senses Fail will be the band to watch in the next couple of years. With intensely poetic lyrics, cutting drums, and faultless guitar melodies, Senses Fail vigilantly bridges the edginess of hardcore and the passion of punk rock together.

Forming in February of 2002, Senses Fail hails from Bergen County New Jersey. Following in the footsteps of many prospering New Jersey bands such as Saves the Day and Thursday, Senses Fail attempts to transcend the mediocrity of the present music scene in hopes to help rebuild a new one.

After a short break up, and a couple member changes, over the course of only a year Senses Fail has broken farther into the music scene than they could have ever imagined. With members: Buddy Neilson, Dave Miller, Garrett Zablocki, Mike Glita, and Dan Trapp all having prior band experiences, the music and band came together rather quickly.

Soon after their formation, Senses Fail started spreading a buzz throughout VFW halls and Small Clubs all throughout New Jersey. In March of 2002, the group headed into Nada Studios in New Windsor, New York with Producer John Naclerio to demo three songs, followed by three more songs a couple months later which was later released August 16 as the EP "From the Depths of Dreams" on ECA Records in Boston Massachusetts. Within a matter of a couple months the band went on to sell all 1000 copies of the EP that were pressed and began to gain a larger fanbase through online promotion and playing almost every weekend anywhere they could.

Only a couple weeks after the release date of the EP, the band began to gain interest from several record labels. The band then received an email and phone call from someone they could have only dreamed of signing to, Drive-Thru Records. A couple weeks after, Richard and Stephanie Reines (the Co-Owners of the Label), flew out to watch the band play and a contract was offered there after. Being fans of the label and of all their bands, Senses Fail gladly accepted their offer and inked a deal with Drive-Thru Records in the Fall of 2002.

The band currently has been playing tons of shows and spreading their music throughout the U.S. as well as gaining interest in many other countries. "From the Depths of Dreams" will be re-released on Drive-Thru records with new artwork and 2 bonus tracks. Senses Fail will be heading into the studio with producer Steve Evetts (Saves the Day, Homegrown), to record their debut full length due out late spring/early summer, followed by non-stop touring. No matter where you go or what music you listen to, Senses Fail will be the band of 2003 that you will be hearing about.

Don't be fooled.......2007-03-21

I'm gonna keep this short and sweet, cuz honestly i'm not a fan of senses fail. I borrowed "Let it enfold you" and "from the depths of dreams" from a friend for about a week. Honestly i wasn't impressed. I had read reviews about how senses fail are "heavy" with hardcore "riffs" and "screaming", please people, especially metal/hardcore/metalcore fans, dont buy these albums. Yes they do have their merits, and yes even though they are emo, they seem to pull it off decently. But still, they are nowhere near as heavy as people make them out to be, hell i find chevelle heavier than senses fail. If you want awesome screaming try thrice (mainly their earlier stuff) all that remains, most precious blood, converge, killswitch engage, still remains, as i lay dying or haste the day and the like of those bands. If you want emo rock/semi-screamo here you go, otherwise avoid. P.S. To the guy who thinks Senses Fail's usage of the F$%K bomb is a bit too much, check "Skeletons" by "nothingface", now there is a band who knows how to swear :)

From The Depths Of Dreams Review.......2006-05-26

Sense fail in a quintet that knows how to play. Their only real problem was their genre choice. However they managed to become one of the only real "EMO/Screamo" bands. Most bands these days just talk about losing their girlfriends and being sad, but senses fail goes further than that, and this album shows it. With great basslines; hard, powerful drumming; guitar riffs that only get better in their full-legnth "Let It Enfold You"; and lyrics and vocals from Buddy that show you exactly what Emo is supposed to be. This first album hits the nail on the head. They have powerful imagery in their lyrics and different perspectives on heartache, death, and more. They progress superbly and scream to accentuate the tone. If your into the "Emo/Screamo" genre, definitely get this. And if you dislike that genre, this is one album you should check out; see if you still dislike it when it's done right.

First off people...PLEASE stop bashing posting review for bands you don't like. All you are doing is wasting space. Anyway about this EP...I actually really enjoyed it, much more than even their full length CD. You can feel the emotion and energy in each of their songs while the lyrics for the most part are stunning in my oppinion there is still room for improvement -- as there always is-- but not as much as in other bands. I feel that even now there is alot of untapped potential for these guys, that only needs time to blossum and grow. Ok, songs to look out for (In my oppinion) 1. The Ground Folds, 2. Free Fall without a Parachute, 3. Hand Guns and Second Chances. Though IMO each song brings something new to the table and none should be missed out on.

ok..here we go, Pros and Cons

Pros --

The CD will be stunning for anyone who likes the "EMO" genre and maybe even to a few people who arent to fond of it.

The music in general is stunning from Guitar to Drums.

They dont seem to be your sterotypical "EMO" band in that their lyrics have more emotion and they sing more about actual feelings than about lost girlfriends.

Cons--

While they have been around for a while releasing an EP and a LP the band still has the potential to grow Lyrically and Musically than it already has.

Thee may be limited appeal due to the genre.

So there you have it...remember these are MY OPPINIONS. I tried to view the CD from an objective view point. If you have any questions or comments IM me @ MRJH_2007 on Yahoo.

Pretty decent.......2006-01-09

Let's start off, if i give this album 5 stars doesnt mean i'm comparing it with other cd's such as Metallica's Master of puppets or Pink Floyd for that matter. I am not comparing it to those bands and their cds. In its own respect I give it 4 stars. The vocals are sometimes off, the guitar is pretty basic, but I like it. I'm not going to say it changed my life, but I do enjoy banging my head to it every now and then. When I write reviews I don't compare it. If I like it, I like it, if I don't then too bad. Doesn't mean that genre sucks or it will never be as good as the classics. Whatever. 4 stars

Alright well all I have to say, is this album is great! Absolutly SPECTACULAR!!!!! I have an un-dying love for Senses Fail, they're great. Buddy, Dave, Garret, Mike and Dan, I love 'em all. This is deffinately one of the best cd's I have ever listened to. If you have never listened to Senses Fail before, now is your chance, do it, and don't be scared to. Download this cd, or buy this cd, or do something. These guys rock, and usually your first time hearing them you think "Oh God, it's screamo...where's the tylenol?" But actually, behind all of the screaming, there's a great message. Usually the first time you hear them, you can't understand it. Oh you think that's a problem? Well I want you to go to google or something and look up their lyrics and read them. You'll find that message. Sometimes you have to listen beyond what you hear. And believe me, I would not be saying all of this if I didn't care about Senses Fail. Like I said before, please listen to this cd, or buy it, or download it or do something. If you love it, cherish it and be very lucky you have something so wonderful. If you hate it, destroy and throw it in a fire. Okay well I hope after reading this review, you will go and buy/listen/download this cd. Okay now that your done reading this, get up and go to your nearest Sam Goody, FYE, or Coconuts and listen or buy it. Don't be lazy, do something and be a great fan to this amazing band. I may be only 14 but I know what I'm talking about. Believe me.
