Angry Goth metal with a punch of Death and NU.
Brutal at times, soft at others. Great lyrics!!! Wow! Otep means serious buisness. . . a little cluster-ball. . . err, (yeah you know what I mean) of dangerous chick metal. IMO, this is the best Otep album to date. Be careful not to buy the clean version. . . it's much better in the explicit format. For fans of MARILYN MANSON, SLIPKNOT, FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH, ARCH ENEMY, KITTIE, MINISTRY, and possibly early KORN.


OT3P RULZ!
When she wants, you really feel her emotions. Excellent blend of metal, black metal, death metal (not so much- but great grunts), and even rap-rock! Otep Shamaya is a great writer and has an extremely artistic approach to their songs. Otep (the band) are all very talented musicians and provide a fusion that is rare these days! If you like harder, heavier music, Otep is a must have!.


Fan of Sevas Tra and House of Secrets
Honestly, I can't help but to compare this CD to the band's last two. After reading some reviews I decided to write my own. It's a good CD but as some other fans have said, it doesn't have the same energy and passion as 'Sevas Tra' and 'House of Secrets'. If you're a huge fan of Otep, sure, buy it. If you're new to Otep, I'd suggest Sevas Tra.


Brutal, and Intense!!!
I was drawn to Oteps intense rage while listening to this cd. I had never heard anything by Otep before Ghost Flowers. If you ever needed something to pump you up this is your music! There are a couple of breaks in the bloodlust, but even these breaks pack their own intense bombshell on the listener. I feel for whatever trauma caused the rage that permeates from Oteps lyrics and is expressed in her awesome vocals. Slayer still reigns tops for me but Otep does a nice job of being near the throne. .


something new....
im new to otep and overall they're different. i listen to some metal, kittie great band. i like them.
