Customer Reviews of This Album/CD |

 Intersting if album if you a fan of Quicksand..
Submitted on: 2008-10-24 |

Handsome contains ex-members of Quicksand and puts out a similiar sound but with different style vocals. I'll admit you either love or hate the singer...sample the album before you buy it.
Another great ex-Quicksand band is THE INSTITUE.... |

 One of the best albums of the 90's

| This one and only Handsome album is in my eyes one of the greatest albums ever recorded. If you even remotely like Quicksand, Helmet or any of the of the many other NY Hardcore bands of the 90's you will love this cd. Every song just absolutely crushes the next. This is the one album that I never get tired of listening to (and I've had it since '98). I'm just sad to see that Handsome never put out any other albums after this and that none of the members went on to do anything as good as this. So basically: BUY/DOWNLOAD/STEAL THIS ALBUM. You won't be disappointed. |

Tom Capone One Of NY Hardcore's Best
Submitted on: 2006-02-22 |

| In my opinion, whenever Tom Capone is involved it's always good. Bold, Quicksand and Instruction showcase his brilliant guitar playing. Handsome is no exception, this is a really a good album all the way through. But Capone is not alone on this one N.Y. Hardcore veterans Peter Mengede(Helmet) and Pete Hines(Murphy's Law, Cro-Mags) are in the fold and together they write compelling, well structured anthems that bands today only wish they can write. What more can you ask for. The only bad thing about Handsome is, this is their only release. |

An amazing album

Characteristically void of any blatent guitar solos but making up for it with time changes, interesting lyrics, and a tight sound, Handsome just blew me away when I first listened. This was the type of music that I had been longing for and finally found. It's true that the musicianship by itself isn't all that great but with riffs this phat nothing more is needed! The songs rock with so much intensity that even the not so catchy ones begin to grow on you quickly and when the slower songs come along, the heavy guitars remain intact and just add to all the crunch and impact.
Hard and Heavy!
Highly recommended |

 a let down

| There are some good tracks on this CD. The music should get a 5 . Killer playing, but the singing ruined this band. That's all there is too it. Over produced vocals from a singer that tried WAY too hard. this is the result of what over production does to musicians that are based in underground music. it just doesn't work. If Walter Schreifels or Page Hamilton was singing on this album , and the production was cut down, this would have flattened anything at the time. The mid 90's were confused with the start of the rap/metal nonsense and the end of the "grunge" movement. Tom Capone is a brilliant guitar player and Peter Mengede was from Helmet, what more needs to be said. it's too bad they chose the slick production and vocalist. I do like some tracks ( swimming,Ride Down) and he's not too bad on some tracks but overall, it just didn't work. |
