Swan Songs

There isn't even one song on here that would prevent me from buying the CD all over again. I've referred it to all my friends. If you even the slightest Hollywood Undead fan, then you'll fall in love with this CD. From start to finish, you won't be disappointed. It would make great Christmas presents too so, buy em for all your friends!

This is the first cd i ever bought that i actually loved. Yes, their lyrics are a little dirty and degrading, but i still like them. I love the beat, and its very catchy.I went to one of their shows, and i would go again it was such a blast, and the guys are very down to earth. I hung out with them a little bit, the guys are very sweet and true to their fans. Everyone who went had a good time and was rockin out with the music to the point where i was just rockin out with funnyman in the middle of the crowd.

just found about their band this yr, and i support them all the way!
and to those who don't like them its cool and understanding, but you don't have to hate it, you may dislike it but they've gone from nowhere to something big, and ever bigger in the future.

not an easy thing to do

This CD has been played over and over again since I bought it. I had no doubt in my mind that when they did come out with a CD...it was going to be amazing. They waited 3 years to perfect this album and you can tell. Not ONE track is a waste.

I had the honor of meeting them at a concert (which by the way was the most amazing concert also!) and they were incredibly Nice also -- which makes the CD even better.

You can listen to the CD on Loop and fall in love with each song over and over.

If I had to pick ANY CD of 2008 -- It would be Swan Songs!

Undead!

Musically, "SWAN SONGS" is like someone took a blender and threw in sounds from Linkin Park, Beastie Boys, Eminem, Blink 182, and a few others, and out poured this graphic cocktail. I say graphic, because the lyrics are very explicit (I like that), not for the weak. But more importantly, they form Hollywood Undead's panorama of life in the dangerous yet alluring night world of L.A. It's full of alcohol and drugs, sex and violence, anger and numbness, agony and ecstasy. Sounds like fun, no? So, what's the connection to the REAL undead? Well, listen and you will hear the following references:

"...March to the drums of the damned..." (Vampires are damned.)

"...With this blood on my hands, in this blood I am damned..." (Blood is a vampire's tragic flaw.)

"Just let me burn..." (One way to kill a vampire.)

".. this destiny, it goes on endlessly..." (Vampires live forever.)

"I don't wanna be like this, I've been running the streets too long now..." (Vampires are lonely, in despair.)

And finally, "Am I alive or dead?" (Of course, they are Undead.)

H.U. expresses a lot of youthful angst as well, as rock/rap should. The album as a whole, sucked up in one sitting, is really an engrossing experience which, incorporating all of the above, gets you into that L.A. life. For those of us stuck out in the red states, it's the next best thing to actually being there...

Just one more thing. Is it a coincidence that the last name of the heroine in the book "Twilight" is SWAN?

I heard about these guys a while before 'Swan Songs' was released, and instantly fell in love with them. Their sound is very different from anything else out there right now...it's very refreshing. A little bit of everything, HU is hard to place into any one genre category, and thats one of the things that I love about this band. They are unique to say the least.
