mushroomhead is one of the best metal bands or atleast most original. they come at you with awesome keyboards/synths, heavy guitars, pounding drums, lots of awesome bass, great vocals (two vocalists might i add), and top it all off with freaky samples, it's like eight nightmares coming together, and scaring the [daylights] out of you, but at the same time making you go insane. the album XX really shows you what the band is all about by bringing songs from past independent cd's, and putting them on one cd to show you the best they can be.
