Absolutely AMAZING rock music from this gifted band!, August 1, 2003
LUXT is a truly amazing group of talent rolled into one band. I just cannot believe they are not more popular than they are, though they have opened for such groups as Godsmack, System of a Down, Rammstein, Puddle of Mudd, Saliva, Papa Roach, Audiovent, and Alien Ant Farm. Their live shows have absolutely INCREDIBLE energy, and their sound is as clear onstage as it is on their CD's. Totally fresh and unique, evolving with each new CD, but retaining the disturbingly poetic lyrics found throughout their collections. (How lovely it would be to smash your head against the pavement; how lovely if you felt the way I do; how lovely it would make me squeal to hear you scream and slobber; how lovely it would be to f*** you like you f***ed me over)
The combination of Anna Christine's crystalline voice (whether singing sweetly or growling aggressively) with Erie Loch's hard-hitting, Wayne-Static'ish vocals make for an auditory melding that is distinctive in today's rock industry.You absolutely must give this band a listen, and if you are a fan of REAL ROCK you will most definitely be impressed, more than likely enough to pick up a copy of American Beast. Check out their previous releases too, worth the search in used CD stores. Disrepair, Razing Eden, and especially Chromosex Monkeydrive. My favorite songs on American Beast are American Beast, How Lovely, Life is Pain, and Suck It Down.

they have done better but still worth an occasional listening, March 9, 2008
luxt has comeout with better cd's in the past but this is still worth getting if ur any kind of fan of the band. some of the highlights are: american beast,suck it down,cease and jitter. The last couple of tracks are interesting but not so much a good thing. there is an acoustic song which should have been left off the cd cuz it throws off the whole structure.if u are new to luxt then go with razen eden or chromosex and maybe pick this up later but not a good one to start with.

Every Luxt Album Reinvents Their Style, July 14, 2004
Yet they try too hard on this album. Don't get me wrong, I love the band to death, but they've turned their classics Nerve, Life is Pain, American Beast, + Suck it Down into nu-metal songs that don't sound...Luxt-ish, so it takes a little while to get used to. They have live drums as opposed to the (good/better) synthesized percussion they used to have, and their guitars are more "heavy-metal." It's an ok album, nothing like how the original songs on this cd were tho.
