Album Description
Hollywood Undead are about to drop a musical bomb. On their debut album (AM/Octone), they've concocted an explosive cocktail of hip hop, rock and metal, forging an alternative style that's primed to blow the scene up. They craft incisive, sharp and sarcastic raps that slash the jugular of mainstream pop culture. They aren't your standard rap or rock crew. They're something new, dangerous, funny and alive. Deuce busts out the melodies. Johnny 3 Tears, J-Dog and Charlie Scene lead the lyrical charge, while Funny Man drops rhymes, and Da Kurlzz hypes the fray. Donning individual masks, Hollywood Undead possess a dark aesthetic that's connected to their hometown's depravity. Tracks like "No. 5" dissect the frivolities of Hollywood with witty, catchy choruses. Album opener "Undead," sets the tone, firing off a big melody and buoyant beats. Meanwhile, "Los Angeles" examines the town's gritty edge. Rising to prominence via MySpace, these six masked marauders stood at number one on the site's music chart, leading to endless friend requests and plays. However, Hollywood Undead has got the gusto to be earth shattering far beyond cyberspace. They're already knocking at your door, and they're about to break it down.

 Honestly My fovite CD of 2008 November 23, 2008
C. DeMayo (Norfolk, Va)
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. br / br /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. br / br /You can listen to the CD on Loop and fall in love with each song over and over. br / br /If I had to pick ANY CD of 2008 -- It would be Swan Songs! br / br /Undead! br / br /-Chase
 L. A. Vamps On The Prowl November 16, 2008

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: br / br /"...March to the drums of the damned..." (Vampires are damned.) br / br /"...With this blood on my hands, in this blood I am damned..." (Blood is a vampire's tragic flaw.) br / br /"Just let me burn..." (One way to kill a vampire.) br / br /".. this destiny, it goes on endlessly..." (Vampires live forever.) br / br /"I don't wanna be like this, I've been running the streets too long now..." (Vampires are lonely, in despair.) br / br /And finally, "Am I alive or dead?" (Of course, they are Undead.) br / br /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... br / br /Just one more thing. Is it a coincidence that the last name of the heroine in the book "Twilight" is SWAN?
Loving it! November 7, 2008
J. Fry (Maryland)
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.
Bought the clean one on accident November 7, 2008

I heard a song on the radio and thought they were a hard rock band. After listening to the sampling on Amazon I found they aren't. They seem to be attempting Bloodhound Gang wit and cleverness and Insane Clown Posse style, except on track 3 where they are obviously biting Eminem's style. Absolutely nothing new.
