Album Description
Tiger Army's music channels the frustration, loneliness, despair, and triumph of a lost generation, buzzing with power and dark romance. In the three years since their last release, the band transformed into an international phenomenon, touring worldwide with AFI, Social Distortion, Rancid, and Morrissey. Now comes this release. The band may have roots in Southern California's fervent psychobilly scene, but they're no longer psychobilly, just as The Clash can't be contained by the label "punk". With a newfound sense of pop melody, Tiger Army have realized a set of anthems for the dispossessed, songs destined to be sung along to in stadiums across the world. Produced by Jerry Finn (AFI, Morrissey, Rancid).

i dont understand everyone thats hateing on this album i mean theres a coulple of songs that im not that into but for people to say that they dont like the band anymore is a little much in my opinion but anyways i think the cd is awsome i'll tell you what i like about it first "hotprowl" is honestly one of my fav tiger army songs ever its of course got davey on backup witch is awsome to me but what suprised me is brandan from bleeding through does vocals on it to witch is really diferent for tiger army my other fav track on the cd is "pain" the chorus is awsome i pretty much like all the songs on this cd the only ones that dont really do anything for me is "as the cold rain falls" and "forever fades away" there just a little to poppy for my taste but over all the cd is awsome i would recomend it to any tiger army fan if you havent heard much tiger army check out "the power of moonlight" its my fav tiger army cd
update:"forever fades away" grew on me since i wrote this review i dident think i liked it but it kept getting stuck in my head
update:well we have another [...] rockstar to add to the list:so i went to see tiger army the other night the show was awsome i really thoght i would leave that night thinking wow this band kicks a** but then i got a rude awakening after the show i decided to fork out twenty dollars for a tiger army tour poster (yeah seriously twenty dollars)witch is a really cool poster real thick cardboard would look good framed up on my wall so i got it well i decided to go out back and smoke a cig and guess who i see the "all mighty" nick 13 so i figure i got this poster in my hand that i paid twenty dollars for lets see if i cant get it signed so i proceed to walk over to the little superstar when i said his name he looked right at me then i guess realized i wasent someone in his rockstar circle so he turned around and got in his van so i proceed to walk up to the van and hold up the twenty dollar poster of his band that i just bought and motioned to him to sign it and then he did one of the rudest things anyone has ever done to me he just drove away i was the only person out there he would of had to sign one thing it wasent like there was a line of people that was going to hold him up or something it was plain and simply rude so needless to say i wont be forking out any cash for the next tiger army album but mayby its a good thing cause it will prob suck anyway so f**k you nick 13

This CD is utterly amazing. It is the best Tiger Army ever. Sorry, Psychobilly sticklers - musicians need to grow and get beyond shouting, weird make-up, etc. Besides, with songs like "Ghosts of Memory" and "Where the Moss Slowly Grows", there is plenty of rockabilly to go around here.
The production is excellent, the songs are extremely well-crafted, and this is by far the tightest incarnation of Tiger Army yet. I will spare you the minute details of each track. Just get the the CD and enjoy. Go see them live too!

I've been a huge fan of this band since their first self titled disc and I have to say this is Tiger Army at it's worst. The energy is lacking and some of the songs are just terible. The songwriting on some of these tracks would embarass a third grader. On one cut, they even sound like "A Flock of Seagulls." I don't think every disc should sound the same, but it's the lack of energy that disappoints, as well as the songs themselves. Hopefully, the next disc will be better.
Not as good as some, but still good. November 21, 2007

I absolutely love the older Tiger Army. I have enjoyed this album, but it's certainly not as good as the previous albums. This album is much more "clean" than others. In other words, you can hear the influence the studio guys have had on the music. There are a handful of decent songs, but if you're just getting into Tiger Army, start with their older works first. If you're a Tiger Army fan, you should already have this in your collection.
FTW!
Where's the 'billy!? October 30, 2007

I picked up this disk because I'd picked up one or two of their earlier CDs during my first tentative dip into the pool that is psychobilly. Now, I'm not a huge fan of the genre, I prefer my rockabilly straight up; but I do enjoy bands such as The Meteors, The Cramps, the Corpse Show Creeps and so forth.
What I'm bascially getting at is that, although I'm no psychobilly fanatic, I enjoy the genre and am willing to give it a go if I find a band that I like.
And so, it was with a bit of excitement that I picked up "Music from the Regions Beyond". I got through the first few tracks when I nasty thought stuck me; "This isn't Psychobilly at all". This was followed by the realization "There ain't no 'billy in this music at all!"
I listened to it all the way through, once, and put the disk away. A few months later I decided to give it another go; after all, maybe I was just having a bad day and gave up too soon.
Nope. If I listened hard enough I could almost, ALMOST, make out some rockabilly influence on the music; but that might well have been my imagination.
Since that second listening, I haven't touched this album again and don't think I ever will. Its not that's BAD, really, its just not what it SHOULD be. It seemed as if the band totally gave up on their old sound and decided to find something that would be more marketable to a larger audiance.
So be it. I guess its their right; but I know I'll never get one of their CDs again. They just lost all the respect I had for them; which is a shame really. If you listen to some of their earlier recordings, they could rock!
