Roadrunner "Carver City" - CKY

this is a cool cd and i always did enjoy hearing CKY i bought the cd along with killswitch engage a couple days ago and i have satisfyed with my purchases i can't tell which is my favorite song yet but "plagued by images" still buzzes around my head. other than that Carver City is at the top of my Favorite list

cky was fucken great in regina i saw them there jes was awsome on the drums chad was fucken awsome and deron was great all i have to say is cky for life.

When I bought CKY's Carver City, I knew it was going to be different from the general rock and metal I listen to. This album didn't disappoint. "A #1 Roller Rager", "Hellions on Parade", and "Rats in the Infirmary" are definitely the top songs of the CD, but my only complaint is that the songs run together in a way. They are all unique, but when it gets toward the middle of the CD, it starts to all flow together.

Anyways, awesome CD, and I wasn't disappointed for my first CKY album to buy.

This is a great album, I've been awaiting its arrival for quite some time, and I've gotta say i was not disappointed in any way by it. But my favorite song is still "Inhuman Creation Station", that song kicks ass.

this album is good but not good enough. the guys perform good but still not good enough. i feel that they can do better

Last year, no one was certain about what the future held for CKY. The Alliance was left with questions unanswered and were completely shut out from the rest of the band while the band themselves stayed quiet, also unsure about what was in store. It was a grim time for CKY and their fans but in the end, the band reignited the spark that held them together for so many years and all their passion and dedication once again flourished. With their enthusiasm renewed, the band channeled all their energy and talent into a work they had previously started on but had abandoned due to their feud...their fourth studio album titled Carver City.

CKY have always been big horror fans and this interest has shown in all of their records but none so much as this one. The album's theme focuses on a deceptive seaside city that draws in tourists from all over, with the pretension that its a lovely, family friendly resort town but in reality it is anything but that. Welcome to Carver City, a place where one wouldn't be surprised to find a dead body under a boardwalk, stumble upon a deceased fisherman's bones which may trigger a curse if disturbed, or see a battalion of hellions wage war. The songs simply don't just tell stories, as every song is composed of meaningful, well-written lyrics that only Deron Miller could write up. His writing will keep you thinking, observing, and wondering long after you've heard the song. As a writer myself, this is one of the best aspects of Carver City to me.

The music of Carver City is a definite progression when you compare back to their early days looking at the gritty, raw sound of Volume 1 or the riff-heavy An Answer Can Be Found. Some say CKY has changed their sound since then and are no longer the same band, but I don't agree with that statement in the slightest. They haven't changed their sound at all, they've simply expanded it, raising it to a whole new level which Carver City clearly shows. This album caters to everyone's music taste, no matter what your preferences are you will find something you like on here. From A#1 Roller Rager's poppy sounds to Old Carver's Bones raw, ear-splitting chaos and the mellow, somber tune of Era of an End, there's something for every music fan whether they're into rock or not. Just like the lyrics, there's so much more to look for too due to Chad Ginsburg's superb mixing. Insane riffs, clear, vibrant solos, synths, deep basslines, and fantastic drumming, whatever you're looking to hear on this album I guarantee you you'll find it, this has everything you could ask for on such a diverse track list.

Ultimately, this record is perfect for the return of CKY. For a band that has been around as long as they have, I could expect nothing less from them. The talent and potential these guys possess tell me they are far from finished and will only continue to succeed in this industry. Carver City is a must if you are a fan of this band or if you just enjoy good rock music. You will not be disappointed.

This album is alot better than An Answer Can Be Found. I totally agree with Chad on that. This is my favorite album that was released this year and probably these past 2 years. Really Good!!

This is CKY's best release yet. The sound is amazing, and they have really gotten better as musicians. Deron has never sounded so good.The standout tracks for me are 'The boardwalk body','...and she never returned', and 'Rats in the infirmary'. I just hope it doesn't take so long next time for a CKY album to be released.

i received my autographed copy with bonus tracks yesterday...it fucking kills. carver city and crack the skye are the best albums of 2009.

FUCKING KILLER!
