"Occasionally you hope a band will get to make a second album, not because they blow your socks off on first listen, but because you detect a few inspired moments that suggest they might just develope into something truly great. Ohio's Another Tragedy is undoubtedly one of those bands..."

Ytsejam - Debut CD "The Beauty Of Suffering"
The heaviness is the ‘Beauty’ of it all
In the world of popular music, we don’t live in a perfect ‘world,’ but a quartet from Cincinnati can literally set an example of what hard rock ‘IS’ these days. Technical, aggressive, melodic, punchy, and melodic, Another Tragedy’s musical stance is based upon the riffage & the songs, where they flex their melodic muscles without boundaries.
It’s like you take a less ‘doomy’ Tool, early Alice in Chains, Soundgarden’s Louder than Love album, Spiritual Beggars, as well as Pain of Salvation and you have The Beauty of Suffering. Tracks such as “Broken,” “Nothing Left,” and “Nowhere Anthem” are the songs that lead the proficient headway for the more aggressive side to the album; but it’s with “ “Cold Space,” the semi-acoustic “Headcase,” and the balladry of “The Healing” where the record takes a more emotional stance; but by no means is this ‘emo.’
The production quality is clean, bringing out the best in the band, especially considering that the guitars are highly crunch laden and the instrumentation is layered at times; no muddiness here. In the end, the album could be seen as provoking a new sense of hard rock in the world of music; sure there might be some mainstream connotations involved, but in the FUSE/SQUIZZ scheme of things. Hey the world need guys like this to show how a real solo/riff is played, how a real song is written, and how to put some balls back into the world of rock music, so get out of the way folks, Another Tragedy is leading the way.

FAN REVIEWS
Right on! (review of "Broken- PC")
"Very unique intro, I like the way it pans left to right and then dissolves right before it comes back and kicks you in the teeth. Also a really powerful mix with big drums, this is a really strong track. I love the bridge about 2:40 into the track, nice build back. Singer has a very believable scream. Not sure who you sound like, but that's a good thing, I always hate to hear you sound just like..."

It rips (review of "Broken- PC")
"You sound like a GREAT heavy band-that's who you sound like. Very intense singing. I believe every word coming out of the singers mouth. The production-The drums sound great. That's never easy to do w/ out a million dollar budget. Very cool-Ohh SHIT You sound like Peter Gabriel in the breakdown. I love the mellow middle part. Great Work!"

Driving (review of "Broken- PC")
"Now, that's some screaming. Modern rock power ballad, consisting of heavy scratchy gruff male vocals, driving energetic performance, guitars that kick you in the gut, and a pulsing driving beat.
The levels on this bad boy stay at 10."
