If 40 Grit's debut album "Heads" didn't quite grab you, and seemed all too bland (as it did for me) then i strongly urge to check them out again. "Nothing to Remember" exhibits a huge a step forward in every way for the band, as every song will grab you and keep your attention. Also, for newcomers looking to get into the band, they should start with thsi album to get a better idea of how they sound. And if it's sound your looking for, you've got it. Production is excellent and every instrument is fully audible with some excellent low-end. As for what one could compare this to, this is simply metal. No bulls---, no electronics, no synths, just full-on and in-your-face riffs. If you're looking for a solid heavy record, then you cannot go wrong with 40 Grit's "Nothing to Remember".

If you thought Heads was a good album, you'll like this one too! 40 Grit took 3 years off between recording Heads and the album Nothing To Remember and it shows. It's almost like they should have had a transition album. The songs are more catchy, which I think is a good thing in this business. Whenever I can't seem to find something good to listen to, I pop this cd in and *bam* problem solved. My favorite tracks are Because of You, Bomb Bottom, and No Giving In.

40 grit rules man this is a great metal band.40 grit makes metal great thay just are a great melodic metal band.
best songs:
no giving in,only human(great single),pieces,because of you,nothing to remember(great melodic song),,serenity reigns(best song of the album)Higher tides(best melodic song)taken aside(mosh song just mosh)Pull out(bring the hardcore to the the extreme and put it with metal damn)
I give this cd 85/100
great cd viva 40 grit

40 Grit's new album "Nothing to Remember" is a huge evolution. There almost should have been an album between this one and their first album "Heads". But this is an evolution for the better, unlike some bands(STAIND!). This album adds melody and better song structures without sacrificing the heaviness and brutal low end (ESPECIALLY the low end!!) of "Heads". "Bomb Bottom" is actually the song that introduced me to 40 Grit, and it's a great, heavy song. "Only Human" is another highlight(and the first single), and it's a great song with a great melody, but without the Staind-esque loss of heaviness. "Peices" is absolutely incredible, so good that it has to be heard to be believed. "Serenity Reigns" has a great groove, and "Higher Tides" has a great, floating melody over said low end heaviness. When listening to this, you wonder why this band isn't huge right now, because they should be (but instead, they were recently dropped by their label, Metal Blade Records. If Cannibal Corpse weren't on that label, I'd boycott them). Do something to right this wrong and buy "Nothing to Remember".

Compared to their Metal Blade debut CD "Heads", 40 Grit's new album is a huge step forward in both songwriting and execution. This album has it all - huge riffs, memorable choruses and emotional interludes in abundance. Much credit goes to new drummer Andy Green, who adds quite a bit of much-needed energy to the proceedings.

If you like Machine Head and bands of that ilk, check out "Nothing to Remember".
