Debut album re-invents heavy music.
That said, Nothingface is my favorite band without question. First off, let me say that I love all types of heavy music and have a very extensive collection. They have a unique sound, the best extreme rock vocalist in Matt Holt, and killer songwriting abilities.
Pacifier is not their best album. I think it is their weakest overall, but that makes it better than 90% of the other bands out there. The major thing that is lacking is the production on this album. On their subsequent albums, you'll notice a huge difference in sound quality.
This one sounds very raw, but for most of the album, that is a good thing. It has a very in your face, live sound to it. If you are just getting into Nothingface, I suggest starting at the beginning or get all four discs at once. .


WARNING: This Beats The Sh*t Out Of You!
"One Thing", the opener, is the perfect opener to this epic. I was lucky to get a 10 dollar discount on this, because this was 18 bucks! Anyways, this album is a classic. "Pacifier" is a brutal track as well that pummels you down, and "Defaced" has some great guitar work to it. "Perfect Person" and "Undercut" beat you down and make you suffer, in a good way. This band has been labeled as a "nu metal" band. Well, this disc is in the vein of Korn's self-titled debut, but it is enhanced with more memorable guitar riffs. Nothingface isn't exactly nu metal, though. They are just straight-in-your-face metal that delivers. It sucks that they split, since I have never seen these guys in concert. :'( Oh well.

Even if you hate nu metal, you should give this a try. .


great cd
buy this cd, you will not regret it. nevermind crazyarthur as he's a moron and likes backstreet boys.


Nothingface=nothing else compares
I heard the song "Sick" a couple of times and one day I decided to buy a Nothingface album. I never really heard of Nothingface before. I ended up buying Pacifier. I loved the music but it took me awhile to catch on to singer Matt Holts brillant lyrics. The songs, "Undercut" my personal favorite, and "Hitch" very catchy riffs, and "Pacifier" all around masterpiece! Matt Holt can sing, scream, and write excellant lyrics. Tom (guitar) and Bill (Bass) are just excellant musicians. Chris the drummer on this album did a great job as well. But I suggest buying Skeletons first! But this one is a must. And when it comes to this album, I only disagree with one of Holt's lyrics "Take my saviour, take my pacifier. " I need my Pacifier!.


AWESOME STUFF
This cd rocks. . My fav on this cd has to be Lipsdick. . . Nothingface is one of my all time favorite cds and this cd rocks.
