Negative Positive
Title: Overrated
Review: From reading the heaps of 4 and 5 star reviews, you'd think this is an awesome new metal CD along the likes of Disturbed, Nonpoint and System of a Down. Unfortunately, that isn't the case. The vocalist has the stereotypical death metal Cookie Monster growls and yelps. He sounds absolutely awful when doing soft vocals. The music is the predictable super-heavy 2-3 chord BS followed by a few seconds of softness. It's really nothing you've never heard before. The whole band comes off as a weak, talentless imitation of Disturbed, even though they came out before Disturbed. The reason it didn't get one star is because there really are much worse new metal bands out there. The band has potential, but they need a new vocalist and to learn to play longer riffs. If you like this and want something better, get Disturbed. They're so much better that it's frightening.
