4.0 out of 5 stars Skrape-y music, April 4, 2001

I won't say these guys are extremely original, but hey, who cares if the music hits hard and it's good. Skrape do that very well. These songs are all heavy, thickly guitar layered songs. Some fast some a little slower. But the part I like the best is the singing. Very rarely does the singer break down into "scream your head off bloody murder." That type of "singing" just begins to grate on you after a while. But this CD has actual singing, and it's done (fairly) well. I won't say he's a vocal genius, but it sounds good. The choruses of the songs all have good melodic quality to them, which is sometimes hard to do with such heavy music.

Overall, a great metal CD with melodic choruses. So maybe it is derivative of other heavy bands...big deal, if it's good music you should still give it a try...that's what you should do with this CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is rock, get this damn cd., March 22, 2001

It's about time another nu-metal band kicks mucho @$$. After many lame and linear bands coming out, I was kind of skeptical in buying this latest addition, SKRAPE. Well, to say the least: they are great, and every song is non-stop rock. The singer sounds a lot like fingereleven's singer, which is a good thing. Then, unexpectedly, a menacing scream will emerge from him. Great singer. The rest of the band is also good, and proves that you don't need to be too unique to have your own style. They sound like their own band, and are very tight together. and you can't disregard that special cheap price. so, make sure to pick up this cd.

This cd blew my mind! I bought it because it was just $. I heard their song "waste" and thought it was pretty good and when I saw their cd at (store name) for only $, I thought why not, so i bought it. Skrape is a great "up-and-coming" band. I know they will be big....u can just tell when u listen to this cd. My favorite tracks on the cd are: "What You Say", "Waste", Kill Control", and "Blow Up". They actually sound like Godsmack at times...expecially the singer/vocalist. I tell you just buy the cd...expecially if u like Godsmack...dont waste any time...buy it now before the price goes up when they start to really get popular!!!!!!!
