5.0 out of 5 stars Pinnacle Of Their Style!, September 26, 2004

This review is from: Psi (Audio CD)

Being a PS fan since '98 (hooked from their pitchshifter.com album), and also being just a *tad* bit dissapointed with Pitchshifter's last album "Deviant", Im more than happy to announce I am COMPLETELY blown away by this album.

Sadly, Pitchshifter has since disbanded as I write this review, and the members off doing their own things, but Id be lying if I said they didnt go out with a bang on this album. It is, without a doubt, Pitchshifter's ultimate accomplishment, and entirely completes their unique brand of music.

Like many have stated, its somewhat of a melding of the styles from both pitchshifter.com and Deviant, but the result is far more amazing than any could have imagined. The energy is non-stop, the guitars are always riffing like mad, and the drumlines are constantly catchy and rhythmic. The first track "Stop Talking (So Loud)" sets you up with a calm groove at first, almost fooling you into believing this really isnt Pitchshifter. But then it explodes into a fury of drums and riffs, and from that point on its non-stop head-pounding digital metal (closest I can get to putting them into a genre).

Its sad that Pitchshifter is no longer around anymore. I can only hope they get back together, and find a way to trump this utter masterpiece of an album. If you enjoy rock, techno, punk, or drum and bass, and arent a crabby old fart, pick this album up IMMEDIATELY. Check out Pitchshifters other albums too. You will not be dissapointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Ultimate in Metal, March 19, 2003

This review is from: Psi (Audio CD)

This CD was recommended to me by a friend. At first, I had speculations seeing as I had never actually heard of them before (gulp). The first track I listened to was of course, Track 1, Stop Talking so Loud. Hmm, I thought. Nice start. Good rhythm. Then good vocals. Then suddenly, from nowhere, the cool little track burst into an huge, insanely heavy chorus. Then, after returning back to the normal side of things, it did it again. Except this time it exploded on for a longer ear-whacking spree.

Then there was track 2. Eight days. Cool start, with the 1234 leading me on to the huge guitar. Catchy, heavy song. The next few songs were also amazing, with MyKind's amazing screaming guitar halfway through.

Track 7 is my personal favourite, with it's speedy rhythm that's amazing in the pits.

PSI is truly a work of sheer talent and love of music. Sadly, Pitchshifter will be no longer, but that's not until the release of their new LIVE ALBUM!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars ....shifting into high gear, May 30, 2004

This review is from: Psi (Audio CD)

This is my 1st Pitchshifter CD. It definitely will NOT be my last. I like the mix between industrial (lite) and electronics (not overdone). The singing is right on par for the music, and the music is topnotch. The songs flow from one to the next, and each one is worthy of standing on its own. If I had to nail down a favorite, it would probably be Misdirection, but there are 3 or 4 others a half-step behind. If you like this type of music, you wont be disappointed. Lastly, they sound NOTHING like Korn.
