Static-X is a band whose
worldwide success I have found it hard to understand. Of course they are a
pretty good band after all but there are so many better metal bands out there
and I can't see why Warner Bros would sign Static-X instead of one of them.
Anyway, Static-X is very much centered around the vocalist and he sometimes
actually sounds pretty good but most of the time he is just screaming. The
first time you listen to this album it sounds pretty powerful and impressive
but it quickly grows boring on you and you realize that there is not much to
it than the powerful vocals, a few nice riffs and monotonous drumming. I am
now being very, perhaps unnecessary, harsh on this release because it is
actually enjoyable and the band has a distinct unique sound, it's just that
when a major label like Warner Bros decide to sign a metal band you kind of
expect more of them than this. I guess they are more interested in a
profitable look than interesting music even when it comes to metal. Sad but
true it is. Another thing, why does so many new bands these days have to have
at least one song where they try to sound like Marilyn Manson (here it is the
track "Cold")? It only sounds stupid when you try to copy someone like
him... Anyway, this is not a bad album at all and if you like
techno-industrial aggressive nu-metal you will probably not be disappointed if
you decide on purchasing a copy of it.
