Album Description
The long anticipated newest release from Chiodos Bone Palace Ballet streets on 9/4. Since their Equal Vision debut has scanned well over 160,000 units, expect this sophomoric project to take the band to the next level. They are currently on the main stage of the Warped Tour and will continue to be on the road throughout the rest of the year. Chiodos will be headlining in the fall with The Devil Wears Prada, Alesana, and Equal Vision artist Pierce the Veil. This band is so well received that AP put them on their magazine cover for the September issue.

Customer Reviews

disappointing
As some other people have said, All's Well That Ends Well was phenomenal. Chiodos created original songs that fused many elements from many genres. This created a unique sound that captured my attention and launched Chiodos into the spotlight. With Bone Palace Ballet they have evolved their unique sound but they are progressing down the wrong path. One of the things I loved about their first cd was that they combined keyboards, awesome guitars, and some very heavy elements. In bone palace they forsake many of the heavy elements and keyboards for a much softer sound. the keyboard is now used almost exclusively for string instruments and a cleaner piano (as opposed to synth) which permeate the entire cd and add nothing. I think they are trying to be more musical with this release but it simply makes them blend in more with lower caliber bands. I understand that bands like to evolve and develop their sound, which I wholeheartedly support. nobody likes monotony. In this case I think they are going the wrong direction. Everything I liked about All's Well has disappeared and Chiodos has sunk to the level of a typical emo band with Bone Palace. I bought the cd when it released and I listened to it those first couple weeks about 5 times trying to will myself to like it. It didn't work and I haven't touched it since (except for this review)

I saw Chiodos when they opened for Linkin Park
A new favorite. Chiodos is original to say the least. Their live performance is astounding, such admirable stage presence. I've misplaced my CD and I'm fiending, I should have left it in the truck where it belongs... permanently.

Chiodos
Wasn't sure about this when I first listened to it but it is certainly an adventurous piece of work. It is amazing in it's vision. From hard rock to astounding orchestral moments this album rocks.
