4.0 out of 5 stars Don't listen to bad reviews., October 9, 2003

By	doolia (FARGO) - See all my reviews

Most people here seemed to say bad things about this cd. I personally thought it was really good. I loved Wisconsin Death Trip, it was innovative, different, good. Machine didn't do so much for me, it was forced a little i think. The lack of electronics is because the majority of that was done by Koichi, the member who left and was replaced by tripp, they still have some, but not so intricate. Drumming on the album was done by (Not the guy from seether) Josh Freese, He's known for A Perfect Circle, and doing drums on any cd that needed drums that Dave Grohl didn't get his hands on. And he is a solid capable drummer. One last thing about the change in sound, Wayne did one of the Queen of the Damned songs for the Soundtrack, and had to learn to sing similarly to Jon Davis, therefore he learned to sing, and in turn sounds kinda like Jon Davis. Sure this wasn't a review as much as a defense of the band and breakdown of why it changed, but I think its better than Machine, and a great album.

4.0 out of 5 stars wtf!!!, April 8, 2005

By	Matthew L. Jennings "supersadist1412" (wilton, NH) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

ok, now that everyone has officially blasted this cd...let me tell you what I think, seeing as there are probably people out there that actually like static x, and none of them seem to have put in anything on what I deem to be Static X's best album. there was two people on there that stated they didnt like Wayne Static's vocals when he isn't being melodic. well, since the start, static X was never a melodic band!!! do you think *I'm With Stupid* was ment to be a damned love song??? lol. any way. I think this cd pushes electronic blast beat nu metal into a whole new era. with it's fast, techno based underscore, its fast and catchy vocals, and its hard core beat this music is what I have been looking for for ages. that is my oppinion on the album, and I felt it desperately needed to be said, before people listen to the other people on here, and condem the album as crap.

3.0 out of 5 stars not the old Static-X, Kind of disapointing, October 18, 2003

By	"dark_spiral" (uh) - See all my reviews

Ok so when I first bought this album I was expecting something similar to Machine or Wisconson...but this is far from it. The first few songs where good but then when it got to "shadow Zone" thigns went down hill. Then when "The Only" came on I thought thats an ok song but thats not Static-X. "kill your Idols" is a really good song, reminds me of something of Machine. After that the songs were ok. Then I heard "so", I almsot fainted. A ballad!!!What??It's not bad but it's not Static-X!What happened to Wayne's growls? It seems sadly those days are gone. Now all we have left is a processed, conformed version of the once great Static-X. I think this album was very disapointing. I dont know what happened to Static-X? Dare I say sell-out? Maybe, I hope not.......
