5.0 out of 5 stars Freaks of nature, May 17, 2003

I'm not a big heavy metal fan but there are a few metal bands that I do enjoy listening to like Lacuna Coil, Nightwish, and Drain STH. Sadly enough Drain STH is no longer together today. They were one of the heaviest hard rock bands I have ever heard. I thought Drain STH was one of those hidden gems that was never discovered. Flavia Canel is one of the most ferocious guitar players I have ever heard in the realm of hard rock. Anna K. and Martina Axen was probably one of my personal favorite rhythm section. And Maria Sjoholm definitely could let loose like the big boys. Gender has nothing to do with how well one plays his or her instrument and these ladies proves that theory. The songs on "Freak of Nature" all intense and heavy yet melodic enough. My favorite songs on this cd? That is hard to pick but I do especially enjoy the first four tracks on the cd. It saddens me that Drain STH is no longer making music for fans to enjoy but at least they left the world of hard rock two albums tto salivate over.

4.0 out of 5 stars YES MAAM!, November 24, 1999

BUDDY HICKS (Broussard, LA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Freaks of Nature (Audio CD)

The ladies in Drain sth have arrived and should be taken very seriously. Their excellent debut "Horror Wrestling" can't hold a candle to their sophomore effort "Freaks of Nature". Put aside all pre-conceived notions about female rock bands and check this CD out. While there are no bad songs on here, a few definitely stand out. The driving opener "Enter My Mind" gets things going. "Alive" has a haunting chorus that you just can't seem to get out of your head. The true masterpiece though is "Simon Says" with its bludgeoning riffs. The CD lags slightly towards the end, but overall, this is a must CD for any serious fan of Heavy music. Drain sth have established themselves as one of today's premier bands.

5.0 out of 5 stars How can you NOT like DSTH?, April 30, 2000

In a word, Drain STH is just perfect. This original, hard-hitting, arising band (inside message...heh heh...)combines trance with metal, and occasionaly rap, in a way you'll just never forget. I now give you the discography for this essential recording with reviews for each track:

1. Enter My Mind - An excellent opening song. I like the way this track begins, and transforms from trance(kinda) to metal. (4/5)

2. Alive - Although nothing's too original in this song, what can I say, I still liked it.

3. Simon Says - YES! Arguably, the best track on this CD. The blend of DSTH's metal and Herbie Crichlow's rap is utter perfection. (8/5)

4. I Wish... - This and Right Through You are the sweetest, most heartfelt tracks on the album. The acoustic guitar (which isn't actually played by DSTH) is nothing short of touching, as with the rest of the song. (5/5)

5. Black - The way this song switches from one style of music to another very different, which DSTH have perfected, is very cool. Despite somewhat shallow lyrics (chorus - "...Black is black, 4x")this track still lives up to DSTH potential. (4/5)

6. Crave - Although this track isn't as deep as the others on this album, this is kind of what makes it kick. Quite awesome. (4/5)

7. The Bubble Song - Not a bad song, just not the kind that would turn you on to a band. Definately not single-worthy. (3/5)

8. Right Through You - DEVASTATINGLY powerful. The chorus almost brought me to tears, and I listen to SlipKnot and Marilyn Manson. Godlike, enough said. (5/5)

9. Leech - A couple cool parts in this song, overall a decent track. Again, this track sports the "transition" effect that DSTH have so perfectly coined.

10. Get Inside - This is an extremely underrated track. From the beginning drum kick to the end riffs, this track is the kind of song that makes you get up and bang your head like you have tourette's syndrome. (No offense, or anything like that.) (5/5)

11. I Will Follow - A good closing song. Starts out slow and heavy, and...kind of stays that way. (3/5)

OVERALL: 5/5

Thanks, and remember, kids: Never underestimate the power of a sick mind.
