Solstice Coil
First time 1/3 Icecream
Eatliz - Violently Delicate
It basically amounts to this.
Black Light Burns - Cruel Melody
which confused the heck out of me. This band is the brainchild of Wes Borland, whom appearntly had no brains, seeing as how he was formerly a part of Limp Bizkit. They're one of those new bands that can't seem pick a genre. Are they trying to be Stabbing Westwards? Are they imitating Tool? Are they doing weird electornica shit? God knows. The album starts with Mesopotamia, a word I'd never thought I'll hear sung and a generally annoying track. From there it gets better though, with tracks like Lie and Coward which have this Nine-Inch-Nails-esque industrial metal vibe to it, only without the added Reznorness. Then at some point the album takes a steep turn and enters Depeche Mode, with some nice soft moody pieces. Finally it ends with Iodine Sky, an electronic instrumental piece that could have been just as easily placed on an Air album. Weird.
