Description:

Snapcase have always promotedfreethinking through communication and the unrelenting quest for change. As one of the most progressive and influential bands in independent music, Snapcase have lead the movement to combine intellectual theory with aggressive music for over ten years. Many of today's most sought-after bands including P.O.D. and Thursday have cited Snapcase as one of their main influences. Throughout Snapcase's pragmatic career they have been revered as one of the most innovative, intelligent and undeniably inspirational bands around. From their first release on Victory, a 7" titled "Comatose" to their revolutionary "Progression Through Unlearning" and their millennial document, "Designs for Automotion", they have continually altered the direction of underground music. Snapcase has become famous for the subtly evolving shifts in their musical persona; "End Transmission" is the latest chapter in their fascinating career. "End Transmission" tells the tale of Snapcase's cerebral, conceptual vision of a futuristic society. Snapcase has built a stellar reputation for composing lyrics exploring themes of self-determination, affirmation and personal challenge. With complex guitar lines, harmonic distortion, and relentless rhythms, they create the sonic explosion that has evolved Snapcase into one of hardcore's greatest bands.

5RIP Snapcase, 1991-2005!  Dec 11, 2006
I have owned End Transmission since it came out in 2002, and it is one of my favorite cd's by Snapcase. It is a cd I never get tired of. Granted all of their music was great. End transmission was a slightly different musical change for them, many of the songs are a bit more melodic at first, but just as powerful in sound and meaning as their earlier releases. It is a shame that this great band had to break up, they were a truly great band and will be missed!

SNAPCASE - End Transmission
-
This album seemed to isolate some of the older Snapcase fans... However many fans, like myself, who also love Progression... and Designs... Felt this was the perfect progression for the band to follow. End Transmission begins with the aggressive Coagulate - Which is a perfect opener, gets your blood rushing. Then the surprisingly mellow, Cadence, which is a beautiful prelude to The Beat. This album flows very nicely due to much of the piano work and softer tracks being blended in perfectly with the traditional hardcore classic style of songs. Lyrically this album is great. As always the message is passionately felt. In my opinion this album may not be quite as genius as Progression... or Designs... but it was the perfect follow up.
Best Tracks: Coagulate, Believe/Revolt, New Kata, Aperture, Interrogation. (really all of them)
4.5 STARS

5End Transmission  Aug 14, 2005
I have to admit, I was left cold and perplexed by this album the first several times I listened to it. I mean, Snapcase had hinted at a slower, more "open" sound on their previous album, but i don't think anyone expected this.

I remember driving down the road, listening to this album, trying to figure out what on earth had happened to Snapcase. Frustrated and disappointed, I filed the album away for a little while, never really intending to listen to it again.

Well, something made me grab this disc again right before a long road trip, and that is when everything changed. I must have listened to this album 5 times on the trip, and everything just seemed to make more and more sense with each subsequent spin. I mean, I was still perplexed by the album, but in a totally different way now. I stopped wondering "why" they did it, and began wondering "how".

Everything about the album is just perfect. Some people can't stand the vocals, and I can understand where they are coming from. However, I really enjoy the vocals, if for no other reason than they go perfectly with the music and the mood of the album. No other vocalist would do it justice.

This album, for me, redefined the notion of post-hardcore. It takes what Fugazi did, but goes leaps and bounds beyond anything they every did.

This is definitely an album that you put the headphones on for...crank it up late at night, and just absorb the subtle, intricate layers of this modern post-hardcore masterpiece.

This is definitely one of the top 5 albums of the past 5 years, no questions asked.

4New Kata indeed!  Jun 02, 2005
This album is beautiful. I know that their old stuff was different, but I still really love this album. I love the structure of the song layout and lyrical layout. The musicality of the band is very together. Some people might not enjoy the vocal style on this album, but personally, I like it. End Transmission!

I got this album when it came out a year or so ago, and I didn't like it at all. I put it in today, and I think it is pretty awesome. My only problem is the singer, who yells the same one high note the entire album. I think hardcore fans in general are easy on singers because in hardcore, its more about the message and the agression. Well....this guy is annoying either way. It seemed like he actually had more variety on the earlier records. Anyway, if you like melodic hardcore, you might like this.
