Amazon.co.uk Review
"They're the most extreme band that I've ever worked with", explained Ross Robinson, producer for Slipknot, Glassjaw and At The Drive-In, and acknowledged figurehead of America's nu-metal movement. He is, of course, talking about his protégées, Amen--and the recording sessions he's talking of have culminated in this Californian four-piece's second album, We Have Come For Your Parents--a 45-minute distillation of hardcore attitude, gothic self-hatred and nihilistic death-metal grind. Oh, and some great tunes as well: most obviously, "May Day", with frontman Casey Chaos flipping Mom's good ol' apple pie off the table, stamping it into the dirt and bellowing, somewhat mystifyingly, "Take your Bible! Burn it alive!" All unmistakably top stuff, and, thankfully, presented without a hint of dilution; Amen know they don't need to shoehorn in a ham-fisted hip-hop loop or uncomfortable junglist foray to get the kids on-side. Parents, watch out--on We Have Come For Your Parents, Amen sound unstoppable. --Louis Pattison

Customer Reviews

caseys classic!
by gum,is this album really seven years old now,how time flies hey,and im even more shocked that i havent written a review for this until now,i swore that i had until i realised i hadnt ,well here it is,and my rating wont bring the five star average down one note hey.
Amen in 1999 released a debut that was powerful yet a little inconsistent,it knew where it wanted to go but didnt have the songs to get there,just a year later this was released and they passed the test in some style.
Amen were never metal,although that has been said,they would never sit comfortable in that bracket,with the drummer shannon hitting the skins the way he did,that notion gained pace but it simply wasnt true.The band have been called punk but of course the term punk has been severly diluted and overused in recent years,bands like blink 182 and the offspring have been called punk,green day as well,that isnt punk,the ethos of which was formed in the 1970s with bands such as the damned and the exploited and the pistols,those bands lived in danger,were spat at ,played a vulgar gargle of riffs and lived dangerously all round,the modern day punk is a pop punk,radio punk,not true punk,so are Amen true punk,i guess they are but they are alot heavier and alot more melodicious as well,songs that transend the 3 minute mark can seldom be called true punk,this is violent punk with melody,well thats my analysis anyway.
Well i wasted alot of your time defining the sound,well onto the songs,Amen here have written at least 12 athems out of the 14 songs on show here,the remaining two songs are also great but maybe dont flood the brain like the others,track after track of blugdeoned anger with some very real lyrics,others fake their anger and sincerity,casey does not,he wrote these songs from the heart and it shows.
I saw Amen live less than a week ago in a badly attended venue,about 50 of us were there,years ago i saw them in bristol and the crowds were packed,hence their time has probably gone,but casey puts his heart and soul into playing live ,he was leaping into a crowd with us that was two rows thick and letting us sing with him,stunning stuff hey and these songs sounded as good now as they did then,this is a vital album,whatever way you look at it.

The definitive punk metal album.
If you haven't got this album then I have one thing to say to you - why? This is an absolute masterpiece of an album that features Casey Chaos's brilliant voice (and scream) and amazing drums. I'm not really into drums much - I prefer a blazing guitar solo accompanied by a growling riff - but the drums on this are just brilliant.
All the tracks are good but there are only a few tracks I have been addicted to. My personal favourites are Under The Robe, CK Killer, Justified, Price Of Reality and The Waiting 18.
Get it and REFUSE AMEN!

We Have Come for You're Parents
After a great debut it was always going to be hard to produce a strong follow up album. I feel that musically they did everything that they could do in the first. Listening to the CD I hear re-used riffs and a tired rhetoric from Chaos. There are some very good tracks on the album: 'CK Killer', 'The Price Of Reality', 'Ungrateful Die' and 'Here's the Poison'. There are also plentry of tracks that start of promising but you feel like you've heard it somewhere before, (You have, on the first album). Overall it's an ok album, I'd probably like it much more if I didn't already own the first.
