A Solid Album From Static-X
) And they even have a more gothic song on this album (Cold) And just some catchy tunes (Burn to Burn, Permanence, This Is Not, and Black and White) But something about this album is missing, I can't quite describe it, maybe it's too "Mechanical" But I just don't like this one as much as WDT, but again, if you enjoyed WDT, give this one a fair shot. This album isn't as great as WDT IMO, but this still has some of their heaviest songs they've ever made, (Get To The Gone and Structural Defect. I think what this album was lacking so much that I liked about WDT, was the crazy wild vocals Wayne Static did in it. But I still enjoyed listening to this album. 4/5 stars.

My Introduction Into Metal
All my friends were into Metal at the time, so I had to pick up something with screaming in it. Machine was my first true Metal CD. I eventually picked out Static-X due to them being labeled under the Hard Rock category. I had no previous knowledge of who they were at all. Luckily, this CD turned out to be a very solid purchase.

The music on here is full of variety. Most metal bands stick with one style of music and bore your ears as you listen to them. "Cold" is a very slow paced song with minimal screaming. "Machine" is a very fast paced electronic sounding song. The opening on this CD features circus music followed by pure fast pasted metal music. There is something for any Metal fan on here.

At the end of the day, you still need to enjoy Metal music if you expect to enjoy this CD. Anyone else should just shy away from this. The variety kicks this CD up to four stars.


STATIC-X ROCKS!
Static-X Machine Issue 1 with Bonus CD STATIC-X ROCKS HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS CDS AND ANYTHING BY STATIC-X!.


Sophomore slump, but not a bad record.
And this is a let-down, to a certain extent, because it doesn't pack the emotional wallop that WDT did. After WI Death Trip, they were primed for a let-down, because that was such a great record. This is their worst record, but still better than most of the junk out there nowadays. Check out their new one, Cannibal.


Great cd
Why cant people let artist change? Metallica made some pretty crappy music after The Black Album but not all of it was bad. Ill make this short and sweet: Its not Wisconsin Death Trip but its pretty close to it. Just because no song gets stuck in your heads like Push It doesnt mean this band isnt great. I do recommend you avoid Shadow Zone and Cannibal. Those cds arent the best examples of how great this band is.
