Nothingface's Skeletons
"Skeletons" is easily the bands strongest CD to date. Nothingface is one of the few bands out there that have made a better record each time they have released a new CD. Though their last CD "Violence" was a great album, "Skeletons" is a definite improvement. "Skeletons" shows more of a variety of skills from every member of the band. Nothingace seems to just get better with every release, which not many other bands can say these days.


Nothingface takes on the world.
It took a couple of times to get the full impact, and when I got it, it took hold of me and has risen to be another perfect piece of music in my mind. For some reason, I didn't realize the brilliance of this album on first listen. This set off endorphins in my brain that had never been touched by any other music. This release may be the most musically accessible album they have made (at least in part)but it also covers some of the heaviest topics of the time. Namely, displeasure with how the government is handling things in our country and overseas, as well as the catholic church (priests mollesting boys). It is loud, angry, but sometimes beautiful. And that is why it is so incredible.


Powerful and Emotional
Sadly, they have been branded "nu-metal" due to their image and lyrical theme. If there is a band that certainly stands out amongst the other bands it is lumped up to, it is Nothingface. I don't find that true at all. Nothingface is a band that, unlike a lot of nu-metal, cares about their music. They keep continuing to do this with their 4th album (and what was thought to be their last until they reunited after a quick disbanding), "Skeletons".

This is one of the most diverse groove metal albums I have ever heard. "Ether" is one of their slower type of songs (and possibly their most known single), while you have a rampage with "Here Comes The Butchers". It's well varied and is actually worth listening throughout. Matt Holt is an excellent and unique vocalist who can mix screaming and singing without sounding too prebuscent. The guitar riffs are ear catching and don't sound rehashed. It's just the excellent CD to break away from your current music scene.

If you are a fan of Pantera, Machine Head, Killswitch Engage and Fear Factory, I advise you check this band out. .


Genious.
I remember the first time I heard the song 'Ether. Nothingface are brilliant. ' That song drove me to buy this album. Ether is definetly the best song on this album, the lyrics explain it all. They are brilliant.

'we came to take control
we came to sell you freedom
we came to burn you down
we came to brainwash children
and its not our fault
its just your own new suicide
Where we belong
theres no one to hurt.
its someplace where we cant be felt
where we belong
its darker than space
a feeling that we all push down
so we cant be found'.
