Tom Shear began constructing music at home under the
moniker Man On A Stage in the late 1980's. Most of the
music was very simplistic and poorly constructed, with no
vocals at first but as time went on they occurred more
often. While working on Man On A Stage, Tom Shear also was
playing bass live for a punk-influenced band collectively

synth-pop sounds mixed with heavier darker aggression
proved to be an turning point for him.
While in college, in addition to working on Assemblage 23
non-stop, Shear also collaborated with two friends, Mike

Review about Assemblage 23 An Excellent Composition. | Reviewer: Rob Quinn
------ About the song Let Me Be Your Armor performed by Assemblage 23
The song may be a bit about an overprotective individual, however it displays the loyalty and faithfulness one would have towards another. True, in return this individual expects a lot from the one they want. But in the same aspects we all expect a lot from someone we care for. I love this piece, Assemblage 23, keep up the good work.

------ About the song Let Me Be Your Armor performed by Assemblage 23
A song about how one becomes so overprotective of someone to the point they are in full control of every aspect of their life because they have destroyed the very roots of independence and individuality. This is not a beautiful thing, it is the systematic destruction of someone's life.

A few years ago I was driving home through a dark forest in Maryland, I heard this song being played on the University of Delaware station. I'm not young and don't have idea one how to download or upload a tune. But I never forgot the lyrics or the sound.

Definately a beautiful song, set to upbeat tempos. Even just reading the lyrics, without the music, the words are beautiful. I would expect nothing less from A23.

Dear Madge, I can't listen to this song clothed but it means a lot to me to hear it in public. What should I do? P.S. You look hotter in person. Yours Truly,
While most bands will stick to lyrics that the whole of the world will understand, given translation, Assemblage is one band who I admire for stretching the limits of lyrcs, and vocabulary.
Their lyrics, combined with amazing synth-pop rythems and meolodies and the darker side of EBM make them a must have to any collector's CD collection.
One of the best!!! | Reviewer: Gary

------ About the song 30,000ft. performed by Assemblage 23
This song is reall good if your the kind of person whon likes depressing music. The beat is great and fits well with the rhyme scheme, but once you listen to the lyrics, its almost a guarentee you'll listen to it again, just to make sure you heard everything right. It just leaves you guessing!... This is one of my favorite songs
Melancholic | Reviewer: NYX
------ About the song Lullaby performed by Assemblage 23
This song is one of the saddest I've ever listened to. The lyrics are also very sweet and well written and the piano in the background just adds to the whole effect. Very nice, sad, a perfect melancholic lullaby.
