Great from start to finish
With fast agressive vocals, backed by fast drums, and heavy bass and guitar riffs, nonpoint brings a new taste to metal that is both new, and refreshing. Occasionally a band comes along that is different from every band, and people fall in love with right away, and Nonpoint is one of those bands. I assure you that if you like metal, you will like this band.
Proof not all nu-metal has to suck
Both of these bands were well above the rest of the nu-metal pack, but only Papa Roach broke through to the mainstream (with the hit single "Last Resort"). In 2000, two Rage Against the Machine influenced nu-metal/rapcore bands formed: California's Papa Roach and Florida's. It may be because they were overshadowed by bands like Papa Roach, or it may be because nu-metal would die off in a couple years, but Nonpoint have always been a very underrated and overlooked band (they've never quite gotten the credit they deserve). They have most of the qualities of a typical nu-metal band; but (thanks to frontman Elias Soriano's energetic, Zach de la Rocha-esque vocals and the guitarist's fiery riffs) Nonpoint's music captures an excitement that most bands lacked. Plus, on some songs (like "Levels"), Elias proves that he can actually sing. After the crunchy and intense album opener, "Mindtrip," Nonpoint's debut album, "Statement," continues with "Victim," which has some great, very catchy, headbanging riffs. The next two tracks have fiery, throbbing guitars. "What A Day" is the album's single, so it's a high point of the album, as is the memorable seventh track, "DoubleStakked," which features an irresistible sing-to-scream chorus. The last three highlights are "Orgullo" (which is sung entirely in Elias' native tongue, Spanish), the very heavy and explosive thrasher "Hive," and the album closing twelfth track ("Tribute," which is a full-fledged hip-hop song with wah-wah sound effects and a cameo by rapper Method Man). So, "Statement" is a very promising, good, and underrated debut which showed the world that not all nu-metal/rapcore has to be generic, hookless, uninspired, misogynist tripe. Nonpoint are a great young group which is more than worthy of being checked out by fans of bands like Rage Against The Machine, Deftones, and 311.
Make a Statement
A friend of mine gave my a copy. I first heard this album about 3 years ago. Ever since, I've been in love. If you think this CD is good. . . get Developement, it's even better.
