Today I was in FYE just looking for some stuff to add to my collection and I came across DKL. I had remembered the advance release that I had gotten. I didnt know the name of the tracks at the time that I bought the album, so I bought it anyway, came home and put it in the stereo. I listened to the last track because the last track from the advance release of this album (track no. 11 called "hindsight") was probably the best track on the album. track 11 on the retail release of this album "No Reason" was different. I was a mad about that, but not to change my view because the rest of the album is still good but "hindsight" made this album. I recommend anyone to check that song out if you can find it.

Boston's very own Hinge, after years of dicking around, changed thier name to Dry Kill Logic and released "The Darker Side Of Nonsense" on Roadrunner Records. A whole lotta people called it Nu-metal, and to be fair it had it's affectionate moments with bands like System Of A Down and whatnot. But to be even more fair, DKL (then and now) has a lot more in common with groups like Prong. "TDSON" was raw, pushy and angry... Not to mention juvenile, simplistic and headbanging. Traits that reminisced everything from Chaos A.D.-style Sepultura to Helmet and back again. This new release from Dry Kill Logic, on a new label after being tossed from Roadrunner, ain't too bad. To be honest halfway through the disc I did feel like I was in the middle of a alterna-nu-metal moshpit... But hell, I don't mind if Cliff(I though he left the band?) sings as long as he screams more. And the horrible sophomore slump cliche continues on stronger than ever "Dead and Dreaming" doesn't top the intensity of thier first. A purist will say they're trendhopping with thier alterna-choruses, euro-metal twiddling and metalcore hopping... Diehards will say they're stronger than ever. I guess the more you analyze it, DKL put out the same record we've been hearing for years. But hell, this is metal, if you're on here reading a review because you're interested, let it be known you're at least 10 times less worthless than a fan of Avril Lavigne or Simple Plan or Good Charlotte. Give yourself a hand, and keep headbanging. Stay metal. Also keep in mind bands like The Haunted, Diecast, Hatebreed and Dry Kill's earlier stuff under the name Hinge might be worth checking out.

5.0 out of 5 stars This album is so good I can't think of anything I could write for a title that would tell how much I love it, February 5, 2006

Well, I'll give it to you straight and simple. Dry Kill Logic f**king rule. Now I don't know much about them except that there is four members, but I am already convinced DKL is one hell of a band. A couple of months ago, I listened to "Nightmare" and "Rot", two songs off DKL's first album "The Darker Side Of Nonsense", on a mate's mp3 player. Needless to say, I was instantly hungry for more. I was going to buy the album, when my eyes instead locked on to The Dead And Dreaming. More interested in something more modern, I bought this CD without even sampling it because I could basically tell from the album cover it was going to be awesome. And believe me, I wasn't disappointed. Dry Kill Logic are all about one thing: expressing their anger and frustration through a series of pulse-hammering songs. Mixing melodic vocals with sheer power and aggression, DKL provide the kind of music that would make you want to destroy your bedroom. I can't choose any standout tracks, because they are all as good as each other. I too have heard people refer to DKL as nu-metal, and this is absurd. Nu-metal describes acts like P.O.D, Linkin Park and Korn. Dry Kill Logic fit more comfortably under the heavy metal/hardcore catergory alongside Slipknot and Hatebreed.

If you like Dry Kill Logic and haven't bought this album yet, get off your ass and do so.
