5.0 out of 5 stars Does this hurt you?, November 19, 2004

By 

Cvvvv "sociopath" (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Cult Classic (Audio CD)

This CD plays like a cornered animal. A cornered animal with serious issues.

If you've ever felt self-destructive, If you've ever seen the inside of a holding cell or a psyche ward, If you are more than just a little anti-social,

Then you will appreciate this CD.


1. OD (3/5) - Decent opening track, a little dramatic.

2. Get your Gun (5/5) - Rapid and toothsome, should have been the opening track in my opinion.

3. The Joy Decoys are Coming (5/5)- Great track, starts fast then immediately drops the tempo and the bass kicks hard. Lyrics are about corruption, and they are artistic and venomous.

4. Suicide Soundtrack (5/5) - GO FIGHT KILL GO FIGHT KILL GO FIGHT KILL GO FIGHT KILL

5. Life Support (2/5) - IMO the weakest track on the album. The chorus is still really cool though.

6. Dead America (4/5) - ominous and dangerous, slower than the tracks so far.

7. Sinning by your Side (6/5) - Awesome song, captures the fervor and insanity of dysfunctional romance.

8. Nymphoteens (6/5) - Starts out with just a beat and distorted vocals, builds quickly and explodes, chorus is harmonious but still very very dark.

9. Human Pollen (4/5) - slow and dreary like an amphetamine hangover but with a nice distorted beat in the background

10. Lie.Fake.Money-Make. (4/5) - tempo switches up a little too much for me, still one of the best tracks on the album.

11. Florescent Sunshine (5/5) - Unbelievable. Lyrics are about society and how your job and bank account defines who you are. Intense and desperate and cynical.

12. No one's getting out alive (3/5) - Fast and intense but not particularly memorable.

13. The Mannequin Campaign (6/5) -This is the mannequin campaign/this is the shock value refrain/for the drug addicts (yeah)/and the stoned fanatics (yeah, drugs. drugs drugs drugs drugs....) This track will make your blood move.

14. My Black Hole Girl (3/5) - Slow track. Lyrics about being decieved by a lover and turning numb.

15. Untitled (6/5) - Another instant classic. Song is about paranoid violent state of mind in America today. Lyrics - The antichrist is coming/to kill your young/load your firearms/because security/is a warm, warm gun/

16. You're my Fix (5/5) - Awesome slow track, great way to end the album. Lyrics are about stalking a girl, referred to as Ms. Doe.


If you like angry music, buy this. You will not be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dillinger Fo... I mean Escape Plan?, July 6, 2005

By 

M. C Wright "It Is He!" (Indianapolis, IN USofA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Cult Classic (Audio CD)

Come on this hardly sounds like DEP! I mean I read a bunch of reviews (positive and negative) that say they sound like DEP and I hardly get that vibe at all. Dillinger is a bunch of dude jacking off thier guitars, ugh. Anyways, this is some freshness, lotsa time changes (DILLINGER DID NOT INVENT TIME CHANGES YOU LOSERS) scratchy paranoid lyrics sung in a scratchy paranoid manner about this world that is every moment getting closer to the end. OH man I love Untitled that song is crazy. Anyways the lyrics are pissed and there are a lot of sing alongable parts such as:

NO ONES GETTING OUT ALIVE
DRUGS DRUGS DRUGS
GO FIGHT KILL!

Okay on paper it sounds kinda silly but when you hear it on rekid, they are pretty sweet. How come Ferret doesn't put anything out on vinyl, come on guys I thought you were hardcore!

5.0 out of 5 stars OHHHH NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!, May 15, 2004

By 

Nick (Round Rock, TX United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Cult Classic (Audio CD)

Whoever says this is mindless NEEDS to be the MOST mindless person to EVER exist. THE ALBUM COVER ALONE should tell you of the ingenuity of this band. I don't EVEN need to get into that. I got this cd the day it came out and HANDS DOWN is one of the greatest albums of not just `04 but EVER! This is not an exageration. This band has got something to say and they are AWESOME at how they do it. The Dillinger Escape Plan comparison seems to abound around here: it's not Dillinger. Sorry: the closest thing you could THINK of I suppose is if you mixed Deftones, NIN, Dillinger, The Bled, Converge and Orgy and made them have the talent (minus Orgy) of all these bands. This band has created it's own sound: not copied someone else's. When I say this is a good (...) album I mean Tool's AEnima good. There is no joking around. If you don't get this album you are missing out. I'm not playing people.
