O God the Aftermath. Wonderful to say the least., 2006-07-25
At first I was very very sceptical because I tend to loose faith in bands who split from a band member or members. Since I'm not too picky over my musical tastes so I thought I'd check 'em out. After hearing a couple songs on myspace and stuff like that I decided to buy the cd, and I always love the Cd/DVD combo stuff so of course I bought this one. br / br /I was very pleased. The cd was incredible, although it sounds very different than Bless the Martyr, it still is really good. The cd was well put together. The art is kind of the same as the original, but eh oh well. br / br /I think the DVD could have had way more stuff in it. I did like the DVD, but I thought they could pack so much more in it. I thought I could finally see them live because I havent yet, and I was actually happy to see some live footage, but then I was shot down because after it all I wanted more. The music videos were good and I liked watching the behind-the-scenes of the music videos. I also liked, in spite of everyone else, watching the guys from Norma Jean act like normal fun-loving dudes. But maybe interviews and stuff about the band would probably be cool to add in. br / br /Overall I thought this was an amazing CD/DVD. It loses one star over the lack of content in the DVD. This cd reminds me of Underoath's new cd "Define the Great Line" so if you like this one I recommend you check that one out. Great cd to add to your collection.

AMAZING, 2006-06-05
Reissue of Norma Jean's second release O' God The Aftermath. Wow, what an album!!! Less melodic than Bless The Martyr, Kiss The Child mind you, but still just a exciting and brutal. The bonus material in the deluxe edition is cool too.

hmm... different., 2006-05-18
Now I loved Bless the Martyr and kiss the child and I was SOOO excited about the new Cd. But I was torn down... Ogodtheaftermath was so different and not hardcore with wierd noise like screaming. It was so metalish that I hated it at first. But disregarding that NJ used to be way better this is a good CD. Very nice unique riffs. Very good metal.

Freakin' Heavy Metal: O God The Aftermath, A Marvelous End To The Exhausted Contender, 2006-04-26
Now... lets talk about Norma Jean. br / br /Norma Jean stunned everyone senseless with their brutal onslaught conveyed under the name 'Bless The Martyr And Kiss The Child', and are now back to beat you senseless with 'O God The Aftermath: A Marvelous End To The Exhausted Contendor'. br / br /This is a band that lives and breathes heavy music. Playing a fusion of Metalcore/Hardcore and, dare i say it, noise. They certainly can play their instruments, but not one song on this album tells us that. br / br /Don't get me wrong, i still like this. It's a great package, some of the best art i've seen, but still, WTF???? And the DVD is good, and gives us views into the bands goofy personalities, and snippets of recording sessions and live concerts. br / br /Don't listen to reviews that tell you this is hardcore - IT IS NOT!But if you like really heavy, Alt. Metalcore, you will like this. I hated it the first time i heard it, but after three or four listens, I actually liked it and could discern noise from riff, (to some extent.) br / br /O God The Aftermath indeed...

O God This CD Is Freeking [...], 2006-04-21
I think the title pretty much says it all. The only problem is that don't they have that much concert footage. Its just them goofing around. I wanted to see action, but it was pretty good nonetheless. You get to see Liarsenic, Bayonetwork, and Absentimental videos which are pretty good.
