Being a great Slipknot lover, I thought I'd check this out as Corey Taylor was bound to stamp his mark all over it. But what sort of mark? A softer, rockier style than the slapface style of the numbered ones, or a teeth-drilling mindblower. What I got was a cross between the two; a fine record with some superb shred moments, a more thoughtful lyrical form that I took to, and no feeling whatsoever that this was a gap-filling side project for two Slipknot stalwarts to make a bit of extra cash. I thoroughly recommend this album; if you're a hard rock/metal fan, you can't go wrong with this, and it is vastly superior to their latest release. A great debut from a band in their own right.
This is a great album for any fan of rock. Great guitar riffs coupled with the amazing Corey Taylor (Slipknot) brings the album into a good balance. It's great to see a talented band that can put some great tunes together. However it gets a four because in my opinion there are only a few great songs on the album like "Orchids", "Get Inside", and "Bother". The other songs aren't particulary bad but they aren't great.
Coreys original band has been somewhat put on ice after Slipknots hugh succes, but damn I´m glad he found the time to do something about it again. The nerve is there and so is the groove. Nu-metal? Yessir but with great respect for the heavy metal and industrial traditions. At times I felt taken back to the era of Metallica and similar metal bands. The vocals are near perfect. Mixing the growls and and random outbursts of rage that we are used to from Coreys throat with rock and "normal" singing. To sum it up - A much recommended album. Theres something for both the hardcore nut, the metalhead and those who just approach music with and open inquisitive mind. Greenfort
A brilliant first album with some amazing tracks such as "Bother". Corey Taylor has yet to get the recognition he deserves. He has a superb voice and, coupled with the moving lyrics and raw passion in his voice, I'm sure there's a lot more great stuff to come.
If you like metal you must buy this cd. If you like slipknot this is the cd you must have. I love the music. Once you listen too this you wil have more of them. Great singing and great drum and gitar work.
