I first heard Drill on The Empire Records Soundtrack. The whole cd is really good, but Drill stood out with their track "What You Are". The version on the soundtrack is much shorter than the cd version. I finally found the cd (I had to buy a used copy myself). I was not disappointed. Lucia's vocals are amazing and the songs are well written. She is able to scream and then also achieve her other vocals as well-showing her range. My personal favs include "What You Are", "Go To Hell", "I Like You," and "Over And Out." Drill is no more, but if you crave more of Lucia Cifarelli you can purchase the MDFMK album (2000), as well as the KMFDM albums released after the MDFMK album. A must have (along with this Drill cd) will be her solo album released by Universal titled "From the Land of Volcanos." Check out http://www.kmfdm.net for pics & more info on Lucia. She is one of the hardest working & underappreciated women of rock out there!

It's a shame such a great band got dropped from their label. Lucia has now moved on to MDFMK/KMFDM of course, but this material can more hold its own against her work with Sascha & the gang. Lucia's voice is the driving force on this album. The music is good, but with anyone else singing it wouldn't work nearly as well. Lucia can scream. Sure anyone can do that, but she can scream and make it sound sexy. She goes from metal screams to soft singing in a heartbeat and somehow the two blend together seemlessly, giving a great effect. This is intense stuff, but at the same time highly melodic and listenable. The best songs are "i like you", "screamer" and "innuendo", but there's no duds here, every track is intensely listenable. If you can find a copy, this album is well worth picking up, as is the MDFMK album and anything else with Lucia Cifarelli's voice on it.

i found this cd while rooting through a used pile.. and by god, bless the person that sold in the first place (though i have no idea why they did)

i had already been searching for this album since the MDFMK album came out, which lucia (the singer) is in. it was harder than i thought though since (like the Skold album also) its out of print.. anyway, im a huge fan of any female singer in a rock band, something about the contrast that just works so well.. anyway, lucia can sing and belt out a really good scream that isnt growling or harsh.. you just have to hear it for youself.. the music is catchy, harsh (in a good way), melodic, and hard.. one of my favorite albums to date..

if you can find this album and you are into bands like kmfdm, mdfmk or any one of the side projects that are related to them, or especially if you like female rock singers, you would have to be insane to pass up this buy

i saw this band opening up for marilyn manson in 95 in new orleans,i was 15. what was really cool is that after their show they were walking around in the crowd on the floor signing autographs. i had a chance to meet to singer, she was really sweet, awesome, and very beautiful. this is album is completely great from the sexy screams in "i like you" to the dark lyrics in "go to hell" it's excellent!

Simply amazing from beginning to end. One of my favorite albums of all time. Lucia has a voice unlike any others.

I didn't know what to expect from this CD as I believed I was getting a new age/industrial album (mistaked Drill for Noise Unit). Whilst I was kicking myself for getting the wrong album I decided to give it a go and after the first listen I needed to know more about this band. Well the band is no-longer around having split and gone their separate ways - however the lead vocalist's voice was unique and actually gave me mixed feelings. Lucia Finarelli's voice has awesome talent and is up their with the likes of Amy Lee and Ellie of Killing Heidi. One moment she is screaming down the mic (quite sexily I might add) and the next she is whispering and singing with deep emotion. Wow what a voice. Drill's only success was Lucia - she was the driving force and with that voice, who couldn't agree?
Yes at times the screaming of the lyrics can be out of hand but this band is of the Hard Rock genre of the 1990's where they were pitted against the giants likes of Metalica, ACDC and NOFX. The two best songs for me on this decent album were 'Butterfly' one of the more softer songs of this album and 'Could You Care' more industrial and a good ending to this 13 track CD.

I was so happy to find this cd since it is out of print! I love Lucia's vocals and want to own all of her work before and with KMFDM! Thanks for the speedy service and great condition of the cd, as you said it would be!

At first, I had mixed feelings about the voice of the lead singer. After several more listens, I understood why. She has a unique style of expression. It's not a bad thing, but very much appreciated. I agree with one other review on here (that she could do without the yeah, uh huh parts). Great stuff, nonetheless. Great bass lines, too! The bassist doesn't stay still!

I soooooo loved listening to this cd! I think Drill doesn't get enough time on the air and that sucks, they really should. They're all hard core mostly angsty kind of music...I guess I'm really lucky to have it since the disc is out of stock!

This album kicks some major butt. Angry and powerful rock wrapped in catchy melodies and driving beats. More people need to discover this truly awesome band with an attitude. I only hope that they put out more albums.
