Album Description
When AIDEN visited the VICTORY RECORDS compound in 2004, the record company suspected that they had something very special on their hands. The energetic youngsters from Seattle had a vicious live energy that was comparable to THE STOOGES, MOTLEY CRUE, or THE MURDER CITY DEVILS. Who would have thought they would balloon into the global phenomenon that they have become? They have won awards, graced magazine covers, and won the honor of sharing arena stages with their heroes (all in the band's rise of 2 mere years). They have faced their cynics square in the face and raised a middle finger to anyone who has dismissed them. More importantly, they have touched thousands across the world with their breath-taking live performances and their dedication to fans. Few bands today can be so iconic on the stage and so humble and approachable after the show. On August 21st, the world will, once again, be taken by storm as AIDEN unveils their next chapter, known as Conviction. Lead singer Wil describes the record: Conviction is about loving the darkness that will destroy you, its about tearing yourself apart from inside, its about feeling that the world is crashing around you with no hope in sight and all you can do is laugh. It's about falling down then picking yourself back up and believing. Feelings that have eluded me for years now have bubbled to the surface and are finally seeing the light of day. To say that the band have matured is putting it too simply. Conviction is an excellent next step in the path of a band who is not content with staying static in their musical direction. The songs on the record resemble the solemn songs of THE CURE and JOY DIVISION, while infusing the high dramatic energy of MARILYN MANSON and DAVID BOWIE. It is rare that we get to be a part of a band who are so special at this stage of their lives. Conviction will be the springboard that will launch AIDEN to become one of the biggest rock bands in 2007. Mark our word, taking the world by storm was just the beginning.

 my personal opinon May 24, 2008
i really enjoyed this album i didnt care for nightmare anatomy much at all , but this really sounds good to me , give it a chance yall
 not expected from Aiden April 8, 2008
ok, first off, i loved Nightmare Atonamy! It is one of my favorite albums. Aiden is a great band, but to keep this short and to sum it up. If you like scream-o Aiden like me, i would not suggest buying conviction. its an OK cd, but there is no screaming, and its more of a bunch of love songs etc. put together on their cd. i like the cd, but not one of my favorites.

I bought this CD because I loved the cover, now I love their music as well. I have all of the Aiden CD's and while I like them all individualy this one is still my favorite. I think they did an awesome job on it.
 From Horror to bubble gum February 16, 2008

Barf barf ralph and barf. There needs to be a sticker for bands that tried to be horror rock, and then completely sell out and sing about how terrible it is to pine away for the prom queen. The only horror left with this band, is what they are selling now as their music. Oh, and that horrible vomit taste in my mouth. Yuck.
 Aiden abandons horror rock, embraces the '80s. December 22, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
When Aiden officially crawled out of the Seattle underground with 2005's Nightmare Anatomy, they had a great story (singer wiL Francis trades addiction for rock 'n' roll), undeniable style (think AFI meet the Misfits), and a clever marketing plan (how cool is calling yourself a "horror rock" band?). All that was missing were the songs. Conviction is a dramatic leap forward. Where the unmemorable Nightmare offered sloppy creep-core and paint-by-numbers emo, the band's impressively tight, '80s-tinted third full-length actually has hooks. The best track, "Believe," starts out a piano-plinked lullaby and then brilliantly morphs into a stadium-sized bro-hymn. Equally dramatic is "The Sky Is Falling," which switches off the Marshalls for soft-focus acoustic guitar and 4 a.m.-reverie vocals. It's not all the second coming of The Black Parade, though, as U2-lite guitars and neon-flavored synths make "One Love" and "She Will Love You" sound like dated leftovers from the soundtrack to Pretty In Pink. Still, give Aiden credit for reinventing themselves. Two years ago, no one would have thought it possible.
