Forget all the comparisons to faith no more, mudvayne, and slipknot. There is a difference with Mushroomhead. You see, Faith no More, Mudvayne, and Slipknot all sound great and have some real musical talent. Mushroomhead [reeks]. Really bad. I have never heard a CD, until this one, that sounds like all the instruments are fighting to have the loudest part. The keyboard pieces don't even fit in with the rest of the music. I have heard quite a few black metal artists succesfully combine keyboards with rock but Mushroom head sounds like they have a keyboarder just so their buddy who plays keyboard can be in the band. What a waste of my twelve dollars. Don't waste your time on this overhyped piece of [junk]. I sold mine at a local used cd store two hours after I bought it. The funny thing is, on the rack there were already two used copies. Seems I'm not the only one with this opinion. Save your money and buy the new system of a down when it comes out.
