5.0 out of 5 stars about Sweet X-Rated Nothings, October 7, 1999

Pyogenesis really are the most professional rock band. Album Sweet X-Rated Nothings sounds like singular harmony of death-metal with gothic influences and, even, with some elements of pop music. It's not so important in which style the band plays [for me], the main thing is what a music they do. Following the excellent Waves of Erotasia, Sweet X-Rated Nothings is even better. Pyogenesis always think about listeners and convert every song in a hit. Songs "Sweet X-Rated Nothings", "I'll search", "Golden Sins" have a dramatic gist, based on soulful melodies and romantic lyrics. And "It's on me" may be the best song of Pyogenesis. Gentle sound, beautiful melodies, incredible vocal duet of Tim & Flo: that is not a full list of features for this album. Sweet X-Rated Nothings doesn't need to be described more. It is in need of listening! MZ.

After hearing a pile of utter garbage that Pyogenesis hadreleased on a Nuclear Blast, I was told by a friend who had previouslybeen a fan that this was not the real Pyogenesis and that I had tolisten to their first two releases to see what a complete sell-outthis and all subsequent recordings were. I indulged him in thismatter, reasoning that if the songs I heard were as bad as the rubbishthis band has been putting out since this album, I could at least usethe tape to record something better.

Pyogenesis' first, self-titledEP started with a crappy, almost indie-sounding riff that didn't getmy hopes up, but by the time it was over, I was thoroughly hooked. Thesubsequent EP, Waves Of Erotosia, featured some of the bestviolin-family work I've ever listened to outside of a My DyING BRIDEalbum. This album is, by comparison, an absolute joke, and its numberone use among those of us who got into bands like Pyogenesis becausewe were sick of the sort of repetitive crap that "bands"like Niravana et al put out is as a coffee coaster, closely followedby a frisbee.

Sorry, whoever it was that wrote the other review, butrepetitive pop riffs and pseudo-alternativism doesn't cut the mustardagainst the gritty darkness that this band once represented. Thisalbum is one of the most embarassing loads of garbage that I've heardsince Metallica's black album. Import their first EP fromGermany. THAT is what real music sounds like...
