Very good
If the whole album were as good as the highlights, this would be a solid 5 stars. Great breakout album. Still a very worthy purchase even if only for the highlights.


Bend your knee
. . and bow. Possibly the greatest deput album ever; save Static-X' Wisconsin Death Trip and perhaps Gravity Kills self-titled deput. I would recommend this album to anyone who enjoys bands such as Marilyn Manson, Korn, Rob/White Zombie, or even Jewel! -just kidding i was poking fun at an angry reviewer who bought this cd expecting it to sound like Van Halen. As he put it, if you're into (and only into) bands like Metallica or Van Halen and you buy an Orgy cd expecting something similar you'd be gravely mistaken; even though I love Metallica I realize that there are certain people who are and aren't limited to enjoying only certain types of rock, weather it be classic rock or industrial rock. .


Dirty, gritty rock that foams at the mouth
It's industrial rock magic that makes me feel like I'm in a crackhouse with a meth-addicted prostitute. Orgy is a band that definitely has their own special style and sound -- if you take the vocals of His Infernal Majesty (HIM) and KoRn, and mix them with music slightly harder than Nine Inch Nails, you'd get something that sounds quite similar to Orgy. Especially when I hear vocalist Jay Gordon sing, "You're just another pretty face in a room full of whores. No, you don't mean much. " (Track 12 - "Dizzy")



I've always wondered why Orgy has never gotten more credit from listeners -- this is an album I have treasured since middle school, and I am now a college student with a very eclectic taste in music. Of the 12 songs on this album, I'd say at least 8 of them are songs you'll never get tired of because the deepest, darkest part of you will relate to them on some level. Just give them a chance.


I Keep Coming Back to You
Candyass is without dispute the best Orgy album. Orgy is one of those bands I keep coming back to every once in a while. The CD ranges from melancholy to happy, from depressed to elated, and back again. The tunes on Candyass are some of the heaviest and bleakest you will find anywhere. Candyass has a firm spot in my top 50 CD's.


It will be a classic eventually...
Its like Boy George and Dead or Alive meet heavy metal. They are heavy, dark, freaky, and queerish which makes them awesome in that way.
Great from start to finish.
Blue Monday - what a hell of a New Order cover! They re-invented that song better than Manson did with Eurythmics's Sweet Dreams.
