For those not in the know, this is the new project from Wes Borland, former Limp Bizkit axe-slinger, & this project has him partnered with Danny Lohner who's best known from his work with Trent & NIN...this project is a mix of industrial strenght rock riffs, coupled with artsy & moody melodies that really allow you to not only hear, but feel all the emotions that Wes has to express! "Mesopotamia" kicks the cd off with an odd beat, but very memorable motion of sounds that really reminds me of Queens of the Stoneage, & the chorus is just nutty! "Animal" has a bit more of that NIN vibe as it's darker & kinda creepy at times, but "The Mark" is the song that just hit me hard..it's got so much energy, so strong of a vibe, that it just moved me & made it the most memorable track on the cd! Overall, this entire cd is really dark, it takes you on a voyage if you let it, it's not all sad, it's not all happy, it's just really personal & interesting...you almost feel like you're a voyeur at times when you listen to a song like "The Mark" because lyrically, it's intense! The artwork is weird & I'm not even sure how to describe it, so I won't! Honestly, this is one of those cd's that you will get, you will listen to it once, then you're addicted..it's just soooo good & catchy, & artsy...every track is totally different from the last, & as a complete piece, Wes really painted a complete picture of emotions, moods & attitudes that few people could develop & I think Danny Lohner really added alot to the mix & this is one of those bands that I really can't wait to see, because they are supposed to tour, & it will be very interesting to see how these songs come to life live, & I might add too that Wes sings lead vocals on every track & he's pretty darn good too!
