Customer Reviews keith is a from the heart acoustical singer,not much LOA here but tons of Keith Keith is the rare great person(i've met him in 90-94 a half dozen times but now adays he is a gem hostest and real down to earth. this is a departure from LOA but If you like weeds(accoustic)the live accoustic shows and the heartfelt ballad this is something to hear. the high points to me isnew york city,selfish and honeycomb, but don't overlook the rest. try died lauching pure accoustic even a LOA song. a true artist and great musican too. Keith Caputo, Brooklyn's Best Singer PROVES IT! I got in to them right when Soul Searching Sun came out. I'm one of those next generation Life Of Agony Fans. Then they broke up. I listened to SSS, Ugly, and River Runs Red (ANY LOA Fan's favorite!) over and over again, wanting more. Then I got a hold of Keith's solo album. From the get go, I knew not to expect another LOA album. Keith had quit the band to presue something differet. And boy, has he acheived it. Died Laughing is a collection of beautiful,melodic, emotional songs. Keith sounds so happy cherning out vocal bliss on songs like Dew Drop Magic, New York City, and Honeycomb. Keith has always taken a safe haven in his music so this album is an amazing invite in to his soleis. In 2002 I had the chance to see Keith perform live three of his four dates at the CBGB's gallery in month of March. It was just him an a fantastic guitarist! It was like seeing Jim Morrison perform in a coffee house. Keith threw in LOA songs such as Weeds, and Let's Pretend (one of my all time favorite songs) and even jokingly promised to do River Runs Red next time he came around. I thought to myself that this was going to be the closest i'd even get to seeing LOA. boy. . was I wrong! In January of 2003 Life Of Agony reformed in New York and I have seen them FOUR times since. Including in their hometown and mine, Brooklyn NY! It is now 2005 and Keith and the boys are releasing a new album in June. As excited as i am for it, I'd love to see keith do some of his solo stuff with the band, or maybe as an opening act. I just hope he doesn't give up on it and can trancend between the two. Don't look for LOA here... If you are a LOA fan and you think this album will satisfy your need for another LOA release, don't buy. Let's get this out of the way. HOWEVER, if you like Keith Caputo's voice and have and open mind with music and like other genres than metal, BUY THIS ALBUM!!! I had no idea what to expect with this release. I was so pleasantly surprised when I finished listening to it. Keith has a soft voice here and it helped him reinvent himself with Died Laughing. There aren't any hardcore riffs here. The songs are a bit poppy in nature. His lyrics seem to mean something when you listen as well. . You can see a complete list of all Keith Caputo discography, or go back to the Keith Caputo tabs
