This
is an alternative rock album with slight touches of electronics used
for some sound effects in the background. The guitars are heavy, the
bass funky, the drums harsh, and the singing clean without distortion.
Also, a lot of the lyrics are very basic. You just don't hear such lines
as "riding in the back of my best friend's car" in industrial music.
So if you stripped this band of the electronic sound effects they would
be your typical generic MTV buzz clip alternative band. Actually, they
still are even with the electronics. This band reminds me a lot of Candlebox.
But they share some Final Cut elements as well. Some songs rock while
others are more mellow. I guess a band such as this one wouldn't be
complete without a few balads. I feel that this band produces more of
a mainstream sound compared to other popular commercial industrial bands
such as Gravity Kills, Machines Of Loving Grace, Nine Inch Nails, and
Stabbing Westward. This isn't a bad album. But it's not an industrial
album, either. If you like alternative music then you will probably
enjoy this album. It's better than most.
