Strength in Numbers may refer to: Strength in Numbers (24-7 Spyz album), a 1992 album from rap, metal, and funk pioneers 24-7 Spyz. Strength in Numbers (38 Special album), the seventh studio album by the southern rock band 38 Special. Strength in Numbers (Calla album), the fifth album from New York-based Calla. Strength in Numbers (The Haunted album), the ninth studio album by Swedish extreme metal band The Haunted.

Those who've ridden through the night-cloaked landscapes of Calla's last four albums will find themselves in familiar territory on Strength in Numbers. A few key things have changed, though. The electronic bells and whistles (samplers and the like) have been pushed to the backburner, and the angular, Interpol-influenced guitar work of Collisions has been, for the most part, discarded. And in this case, change is good - Strength in Numbers is one of Calla's least derivative, most developed albums to date. And yes, it's an intense listen.

Strength in Numbers, is the fifth album from New York-based Calla. Studio album by. Calla. Strength in Numbers (24-7 Spyz album), a 1992 album from rap, metal, and funk pioneers 24-7 Spyz. Strength in Numbers (The Music album), the third album from Leeds-based indie rock band The Music. Strength in Numbers (Tyketto album). Strength in Numbers" (song) from the above album.

On "Sanctify", the record's opener, Valle bares his teeth, snarling with a sense of hurt and disgust straight out of Trent Reznor's diary- and the band follows suit, soaring on an epic riff that falls somewhere between "Hell's Bells" and "White Wedding". But while their songwriting's sharpened, the overall mood of the album still grates after a while, and not just because depression is inherently tiring. Much of Numbers feels s, so melodies seem recycled, riffs feel tedious, and the emotional register dampens.

Calla - 2007 - Strength In Numbers/Strength In Numbers. Calla - 2007 - Strength In Numbers/12-Simone.

And in this case, change is good - Strength in Numbers is one of Calla's least derivative, most developed albums to date. Moments like these are lacking halfway through the album, though; Valle's cracked vocals, Pete Gannon's greasy guitar work, and Wayne Magruder's inexorable percussion grow nigh on lugubrious once "Le Gusta el Fuego" rolls around. These are unflinching urban sketches of love gone awry, and Calla does them justice.

Calla's fifth album, and perhaps my most favorite album. Not sure how to describe it. Hints of Interpol (post-punk) but mellower.Bleak Brooding Lush Nocturnal Angst-Ridden Cold Somber Weary Ethereal Sexy Gloomy Searching Hypnotic
