This c.d. is atrocious. There is no creativity to be found in its tracks. The previous release by Drown,_Hold on to the Hollow_, was nearly a quasi-industrial masterpiece. This release is simply a trendy attempt to milk the market of SoCal metal-rap. This c.d. is so bad that it is depressing, comical, and silent all at the same time. Don't buy it... unless you dig on the SoCal metal-rap trip... then this c.d. will probably be your cup of tea... or nyquil.

Why Korn? Why Coal Chamber? Why sound like this? Buddy, who are you and what have you done with the real Drown? Who kidnapped the true sound of Drown and put these SoCal sellouts in who make music for 12 year olds instead of for angry men?! I remember the good ol' days of when there was a great band called "Drown" and they had a great album called "Hold on to the Hollow". I just happened upon them and thought they were the one of the greatest industro metal bands out there and I had been waiting for a new album from them for quite a while. Well I see this other "Drown", the doppleganger "Drown" has come out with an album that might as well be titled "Follow the Leader"!!

Product of a Two Faced World is a much harder album the Hold on to the Hollow which was more industrial. This album rocks as does the other, I have been a fan since maybe 1994 and they just kinda fell off the map. None-the-less this album rules and compairing it to Korn-y is just wrong because there is no similarity between Drown and any of the mindless droning/ whining of bands like that. This album does lack diversity between songs but thats what makes it rock, all the songs are good not just two or three.

This album is amazing. The raw emotion is very real. It really is an album that has never gotten old to me. I've owned a couple different copies of it. I recommend getting it while you can. This album is hard to find. If you like a more industrial sound, try their first album, Hold Onto the Hollow. Trust me on this one, check it out.

This cd is really good.This cd does not have the version of Kerosene which features M.C.U.D. of (hed)p.e. and others this is just the regular version. If you want to get the Kerosene Ep remixes with (hed)p.e.go to ... and go to drown. They have lots of copies and it's only 6.00 but i still recomend getting this cd. If you know of any other cds that M.C.U.D. guests on besides Primer 55-Set it Off Drown-Kerosene Strait Up-I Know Where Your At, E-mail me at stevelennon2001.com

Something like a mix of NY Hardcore, Staind and Korn. If you like NYHC and you don't give a shot about what's old and new school or whatever, this is the hell you wanna go through. Check also the old one! Fat!

This one of the best CD's I have ever heard....I absolutely love Kerosene...It is my favorite song period.....

Over three years had passed since I first acquired (and played to death) the band's first album "Hold on to the Hollow," and I was seriously beginning to wonder if anything more would ever be delivered. Plus, who knew if the album would still rock if it ever did get made.

No worries about this album!! From the opening track to the final disturbing track, Drown lets us know that Lauren and Co. are still around and frontrunners for all other metal bands. Although the sound is more polished and diverse, a close listen reveals Lauren is as angry as ever, but with the writing abilities and musical instincts to deliver his message squarely and forcefully, but also in a manner that can be listened to over and over. This album has not left my CD player since I bought it and don't know if it will anytime soon. Do yourself a favor, buy this album and check the band out live. Pay special attention to tracks "Tired of Living" and "You never listened" and the soon to be classic, "Kerosene."

It took drown over 3 years to release another disk, and it was worth everyday of the wait. After several band member changes and alot of hardships. Drown most certainly made another very powerfull record. 1605 worldwide !

If I had a penny for every time I heard a band that sounded exactly like this, I would have a lot of pennies. Honestly, the sheer simplicity of the songs is astonishing. There are absolutely no redeeming qualities that would make me think otherwise. Well, if you are a Korn fan and are looking for more angry, talentless, boring feces, then this album is for you. Keep in mind that these ae just my opinions. Don't let my judgement reflect your enjoyment.
