5.0 out of 5 stars The future of music can be found in past CDs., February 26, 2006

I've been listening to Crossbreed since 1997. I picked up this CD years ago when it was released and to this day I still listen to it frequently. It is by no means bland and contrary to the idiot 2 below me, this CD does offer a very lasting appeal and impression on the listener no matter how long you've been listening to it.

Keep an eye on Crossbreed, they will be a big name eventually. If you like the synthetic stylings of bands like Fear Factory, Static-X and Spineshank then you should definately check Crossbreed out.

This review is from: Synthetic Division (Audio CD)

when i first saw these guys in Hit Parader, i didn't think much of them. As i walked through a bookstore/videostore/music store, i saw Synthetic Division just sitting there. I picked it up and for 14 bucks i purchased it, not knowing that they were like. As soon as Severed hit, I was drawn into the excellent mix of music i was hearing. here's a rundown.

Severed 5/5 - definitely an awesome opening song. These guys really have a definite sound that totally kicks butt. I like this intro and its hauntingly hypnotic.

Seasons 4/5 - Not quite sure waht the songs means, but there's more to it than just meaning. lots of effort is put into making each song diverse from the next. a good song.

Underlined 5/5 - tied for best song next to Severed. This was their only hit from this album, i believe (not too sure) and its a darn good one too! From the video you gather what kind of show they put on and it looks fantastic. Underlined is a very good song. one of the best if not the best.

Breathe 5/5 - anotehr great song. Prolly could have been their second hit if they'd kept with it. During the intro it has a sweet sound playing that what my friends and i have come to acknowledge as "rain drops." very sweet track.

pure Energy 3/5 - kind of disappointing after the first few tracks. but its a filler to the next track.

Release Me 4/5 - good track. "The walls been broken down." i like this song only because of that line, it makes the song very good because its a powerful line.

Machines 4/5 - i like the intro "YOU" "complain.." a yell followed by a low verse. very clever and very entertaining.

Painted Red 3/5 - A decent Song. I can't really tell you what to expect because it all blends in the same way after "Machines" they do start to sound the same.

Stem 3/5 - again, same thing. not much variety.

Concentrate 4/5 - i recognize this song as being a mix up in my head. But its still good.

Regretful Times 3/5 - another repetitive song. same thing

Lost Soul 4/5 - a good closing track.

Well i know the review gets a little vague as it closes but so does the album. it just starts sounding the same. they start out very well and then go down hill. the last track is decent but nothing to really leave you in awe. Underlined, Breathe, Release Me, and Severed are the best songs.
I have noticed that there is some hint of Jonathon Davis in the music. The leader sing definitely had a Korn influence of just a little bit with his voice. but then again, who doesn't nowadays?

pick 'em up for some driving music. works well.

peace

5.0 out of 5 stars RAVERS, PREPARE TO MOSH!, February 25, 2002

By 

Saint Thomas (Kent, Ohio) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Synthetic Division (Audio CD)

Im a huge fan of Techno music and Heavy Metal music. Few bands hold the power to mesh the two musical styles and Crossbreed happens to be one of them! These guys are like a mix between Rave and Thrash Metal music. The have trippy techno flowing through the rough hardcore metal which leaves one wanting to mosh and dance all at once. Slamming guitars, Industrial drums and bouncing techno beats. These guys do it all and they do it well! So if your like me and into the Rave scene as well as the Metal scene too, this band is perfect for your ears! Turn the lights off, turn the strobe on, bust out your black light bracelets and get the party started....RAVE METAL STYLE! Other note worthy Techno Metal bands are as follow. Spineshank, Static-X,
Rob Zombie, Lords of Acid, MDFMK and others. Some great techno bands are as follow. Chemical Brothers, Lords of Acid, Praga Khan, Aphex Twin, Daft Punk and more. Check 'em out and prepare to RAVE AND MOSH!
