Digging the new CD. I think my faves are Rage and Damage. My girlfriend likes Beautiful Babe the most. Love the woman's (Barbara Moseley) voice. Vocals are top notch.

Strong work!

-Steve P (USA-Santa Maria)

I listened to every sample and the two alternate songs and read all the lyrics. I like the album very much so far. The female singer ( Barbara Moseley) has a very beautiful voice. On "Beautiful Babe" the David Bowie voice (Ruston Slager) style-like is amazing !

-Eric (France)

The word is..........................Fantastic! I like Damage very much, it's also getting beter and better the more I play it (no surprises there). Having said that I usually know from the first spin if I am going to like it. Even my wife said "who's this", Anti M, "who", never mind, "I like it" she said, so it's official then!

Barbara's vocals are brilliant a cross between Sarah Mclaughlan and Enya, that's a compliment indeed.

Some great songs and lryics, the effort you guys put into this was well worth it, could well be a classic. "Into The Rain" hits the spot for me in that way. Any gigs planned? This has to go on the road.

-Alan T. (UK)

Your music is very good, beginning was misterious like the dark side of the moon.

-Shingo (Japan)

Huge range of styles- I hear echoes of Led Zep, Bowie, Suzanne Vega, Nick Cave, a few others that escape me right now. Not to say the songs are just like those other artists, but bring them to my mind. I must also mention the harmony vocals. Subdued and understated but perfect! Adds so much to some of the songs! A great disc- nice artwork as well. Seems familiar but can't remember now.

-Scott S (USA)

Your song writing, arrangements and production are excellent. Barbara's voice is haunting and alluring.

Anti-M are from California, and that is where the sun is always supposed to shine. And while I was reviewing this cd, the sun was shining here in the UK, with temperatures into the mid 20's Celcius. This is not the Beach Boys, but sure is good music to chill out too on a nice summer's evening with a glass of wine or two. If I was to make comparisons, let's mix The Gathering and Pink Floyd, throw in a little Within Temptation and mix it up a bit. Then add a little electronica, and away we go. The vocals are shared between Barbara Mosely, Ruston Slager and John Wardlaw. This is not metal, but it is pretty well produced atmospheric rock. I like most of the tracks on offer here, with 'Deep' possibly one of my faves, while 'Beautiful Babe' sounded a little like David Bowie. As I say, don't expect a full on aural assault, but nonetheless, it is well produced by the band and I like this offering.

"vocals are equally as beautiful as Amy Lee and the music is a far cry better!"

-Hannah (USA)

This is the 3rd full length by the Califonians ANTI-M.With a much
different approach on this one than the previous 2, the band really
knows how to mix up styles from past and present. With the experienced
talent of John Moseley and "Wedge" on guitars, this has some great
riffs and solos and done in a more "progressive rock" way which works well
with the synthetic backdrop and lush atmospheres on some tracks.
Theres some really cool instrumentals that are very prog. rock with
a new and updated sound of the 21st century".
Barbara Moseley provides the strong and melodic female vocals which
are the majority here. Standout tracks include "let u in" which can appeal
to the more electronic/gothic rock crowd, and "damage", "deep" "damage in the dream" and "rage" all have a catchy/melodic sound to them as well.
"rose of love" has a harder "wedge" sound to it, and works great in the
diversity of the album as well.
Its a very enjoyable listen and doesn't bore for one moment...theres some
slower tracks, and some uptempo rockers, and overall some nice variety
that fans of newer and older rock/ new wave can enjoy."

I LOVE this new disc (Damage) from Anti-M. I have about 10,000 CDs so for a disc to make it into regular rotation in my playlist is rare. The album moves me on a visceral level. Anti-M has a style that defies any one musical classification. A lot to appeal to a lot of people but they first have to find it. A lot of the music makes me think of a fusion of Ronnie Montrose and Evanescence. On my Ipod Anti-M is listed as industrial. Maybe the music is a little techno but for the most part I'd call it hard rock.
Even the cover is cool and predicts the emotion in the disc, spacy, dark, dreamy and of course damaged.

Since the music is hard to classify I thought I would break it down song by song. Here we go.

1 .Dreaming in Metaphor- Love the bass. A lot of tension builds here. Nice guitar work.

2. Let U In- Great vocals. Great riffs. A lot of radio potential.

3. Damage- A great rock song again with a lot of radio potential. Nice effects.
Finish is excellent. Harmony vocals outstanding.

4. Deep- A fabulous ballad and perhaps the most amazing vocals on the album by singer Barbara Moseley.

5. Rage- This song is an epic! Gives me the same feeling as "Kashmir". Great
guitar leads and nice harmony vocals.

6.

It's All Inside- Very Bowie-esque. Keyboard work is a nice change of pace. Good guitars.

7.

Little Things- Suzanne Vega meets techno with nice harmony vocals.

8.

Beautiful Babe- Nice beat effects. Reminds me of "Let's Dance" by Bowie. Haunting guitars and a dark ending.

9. Waitia While- A great slow song. Like the keyboard work.

10. Rose of Love- Really nice intro. Cool beat. The most hopeful lyrics on the entire
disc. Reminds me of what I remember the older discs by Anti-m were like. Could be a club or dance track. Powerful guitars.

11. Godzilla VS Rodan- Great effects. Reminds me of a thunderstorm.

12. Into The Rain- Another song with a lot of radio potential. Deep despair here. Nice
use of harmony vocals. Like hard rock Leonard Cohen / Nick Cave.

13. Incineration- Good driving beat and radio potential.

14. Shiver- Haunting fragment. Like a dark bit from an Evanescence song.

15. Damage in the Dream- Upbeat rhythm with despair-filled lyrics. Very Darkwave or Goth (The Gathering).

16. THE SIXTH EXTINCTION - A long instrumental with a lot of different emotions here. Starts sad, ends up like something from "Strange Cargo" by William Orbit. I like it.

17. NO KILL I- A powerful closing track with a Great guitars on this one. the album then closes with a reprise of the song Deep which is just beautiful.

I love this disc! -Scott S. USA

Sometimes I get to the point where I am just tired of listening to music, and I want to try something different. This album has a distinct crispness and elegance to it. It fits, like a comfortable pair of shoes, yet the songs are not just tired, cookie-cutter replicas of each other. Some tracks are instrumentals, some have a female vocalist, some have a male vocalist.

The artwork underscores the mood. The music is dark, but also dreamlike. The production quality is really quite excellent. The band has something to say. Art is more important than just throwing another album out there.
An eclectic blend of instruments and genres. As I was listening to Dreaming In Metaphor, I took a double take-is that a didgeridoo!? Sure as hell. Different. Bold
