5.0 out of 5 stars What a breath of fresh air..........5 huge metal stars!!!!!!!!!!, August 10, 2005

This review is from: 3-D (Audio CD)

I bought this album back in '91 after seeing the video for 'Surrounded By Idiots'. And what a funny video that was. I was completly blown away when I popped this into my car. This album was the most original, inspiring, creative music at the time. Brad Divens(bass/vocals) sounded a bit like James Hetfield.
But the music was so far away from anything that Metallica produced at the time.Great production every song is fantastic......I really can't think of a track that I don't like. Each song burns with an intensity and direction I really never heard from an American band before especially on a softmore effort. The riffs are so sick,heavy and original( I can go on and on). The drumming is fantastic and intricate(way to go Shannon Larkin).The lyrics are funny and well written. Nothing sounded like this at the time and nothing still does............a real fun album to listen to.
One word that comes to mind is variety and in the world of metal(especially back then) that was hard to come by. Their first album 'Climbing The Walls'(3 Stars)sucked compare to this gem. The production was horrible and the songs lacked any bit of direction. They took a huge leap forward on this one and it really shows.....it is undeniable how awesome this cd still is.
They would later go on to change their name, record company and style in '93.But this album stands the test of time.......still just as fresh now as it was in 1991.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Band That Never Got The Recognition It Deserved, March 25, 2004

This was truly one of the best bands of the late eighties, early ninties. A lot of people think that Climbin The Walls was their best album but I personally liked 3-D better. This album has a lot of groove and melody to it and has some killer riffs. You are really missing out on a good heavy metal album if you don't have this one in your collection. Don't let anyone tell you that this album sucks because I bet you would like this album better than a lot of this new stuff coming out these days and I aint joking. If you feel safer buying a used copy of this album then do it but I'm telling you that you will not be disapointed. Now I'm not saying that this is the best album that you will ever hear so don't take me the wrong way. Well, that's all I have to say so quit wasting time and get this album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great album but no recognition, April 10, 2003

This review is from: 3-D (Audio CD)

Wratchcild America has always had a unique style but on the album "3-D" you can distinctly hear a band maturing and coming into its own. The album is populated with exceptional lyrics, music that was a little too far ahead of its time, and lessons on how to play instruments and create arrangements from some exceptional musicians. The band later morphed into Souls at Zero as the music scene began to change and, at that time, the band became even more focused. The only thing missing from this band is the recognition it truly deserves.
