Description

None of us were expecting a reinvention of the wheel with Static X's fifth album and while things haven't changed very much - no ballads, same silly beard - the bits that were good to start with have been improved upon. The thrashy riff are thrashier, the solos are better, the techno bits are not so much added on as part of the song. Wayne Static's vocals still veer a bit close to Coal Chamber at times (a good or bad thing depending on your taste) but generally this is a solid album if not as good as their first two. The only criticism I would make is that several of the tracks could do with beingmore… a bit longer the final one being a case in point, it just starts to get interesting, you think a tempo change or bass solo is coming...and it stops. There aren't many albums that are not improved by a seven minute closer after all.
So to all those who think Enter Shikari are doing something radical by melding metal and techno, Static X were there way before (albeit with stupider hair and beards) and they were not first by any means (check out Fear Factory and Ministry if your interested!).
