Machine by Static-X

Pros: A nu-metal new millennium new release that's actually good (or one I like anyway).
Cons: More of the same but that's not necessarily a bad thing in this case.

If the death troopers that invaded Poland just over a sixty years ago had a theme song I imagine it'd sound something like the intro to Structural Defect. The marching downtuned guitar builds with intensity every four measures adding another...

Pros: Vastly improved songwriting; a blend of heavy and haunting
Cons: A few flubbed attempts; weak lyricism

When Static-X debuted in 1999 with W isconsin Death Trip, they were immediately noteworthy for a loud industrial-metal sound with completely unique vocal stylings, but they failed to craft a record that lived up t ...

Pros: Sounds great, very funny beginning, and they're hella interesting, drums are... different.
Cons: The most repetitious album possible, gets really old, bad lyrics.

As you all know, there's always SOMETHING I'm unsure of in my reviews. It might be why the album or film doesn't work. It might be the information about a band. Here, its whether or not to recommend this album. Usually its my heart reaching out to ...

Pros: A bit more aggressive and heavy
Cons: Less Technical Programming Really Leaves me Disapointed.

Static-X are no longer freshman in the metal scene, they proudly graduate their “new” status with their sophomore effort known as “Machine”…like every Static-X release I ran out and grabbed this one right when the stockers were opening the...

Pros: Increadibly good when playing fast.
Cons: Seems Repetitive and less enjoyable when doings slower songs.

Hi, this is The Almighty Shoe and I'm writing my first album review for epinions. You may have seen this review at 3 Ranters but I want to spread the word of my immense awesome to the whole world. I will be editing my raw offensive reviews down to ...

Pros: Catchy songs, aggressive, heavy...
Cons: Repeatable. Couple weak songs.

I first heard these guys sometime around 1999 I believe, thats the time when I first heard of Powerman5000, they both came out with new stuff. I liked Static-X, Push It was a great song, I was impressed with it, the yelling was catchy and the chorus was...

Pros: There's always Wisconsin Death Trip to fall back on
Cons: Less electronica and thought provoknig ideas, more of meaningless jibberish

Two years ago, Static-X grabbed the attention of metal fans. Their breakthrough debut, Wisconsin Death Trip, incited a musical revolution that blends electronica and metal. Maybe its not fair to necessarily refer to Static-X as the...

Pros: Heavier and more aggressive, yet similar to Wisconsin Death Trip
Cons: Less electronic influence, "didnt i hear that on WDT?"

Electronic music fused with metal. It has been done before by Static-X, and successfully at that. Their first album, Wisconsin Death Trip was a successful marriage of electronic cymbals, sound clips, and random noises and a solid heavy metal sound. The...

Pros: The musical production was better.
Cons: The songs wont stick to your head like some of the originals did

Being that I’m not to big on the heavy metal scene I often turn back to my old favorites to get my metal tastes fulfilled. There hasn’t been anything new that has caught my attention and a lot of my favorite bands have been dead thus knocking me off the...

Pros: High Octane, grinding riffs, subversive original sound , unrelenting high tempo
Cons: Not as melodic as Wisconsin Death Trip, too many similar tracks.

After Static-X pummelled there way onto the scene with the highly charged Wisconsin Death Trip, a follow up album would surely be welcome. A refining of the band's sound mixed with further fusion of technology/industrial metal could have an exciting...

Pros: Very heavy
Cons: Not enough of an electronic sound as many fans would expect

Static X's latest Album "Machine" may lack the electronic-metal sound they made famous on their last album. But what "Machine" does not lack is hard-hitting, bash-your-brains in rock.

The album kicks off humorously with 23 seconds of Spanish...

Pros: The perfect soundtrack for robot fighting.
Cons: Repetitive, repetitive, repetitive.

*Recommend If You Like

Static-X is back, and heavier then ever. Featuring Tripp Rex Eisen, (formerly of Dope fame), on guitars, Static-X is primed to unleash their own brand of thrash/industrial metal on the world.

From the get-go...

Pros: Static X's nu-metal album isn't the best in the world but it is okay.
Cons: Only a couple of the songs on this cd are actually worth listening to.

When I first bought Static X - Machine I put it into my cd player and listened to it all the way through. The only reason why I bought this album is because I wanted to get into the metal scene. At my local Wal-Mart Supercenter I listened to part...

Pros: Tried to progress in a different direction.
Cons: Repetitious and boring. Songs went nowhere.

Being a long-time fan of their live gigs, hearing Static-X's 'Wisconsin's Death Trip' was breath of fresh air in comparison to their second attempt with 'Machine.'

Static-X's first album delivered all it promised: heavy guitar riffs laden...

Pros: Its better, heavier, and shows maturity
Cons: your not my friend... WHY DON'T YOU LOVE ME?

Some may or may not know this but their guitar player left Static X after the extensive touring that Wisconsin Death Trip and fame. The japanese guitarist wasn't all for it and quit.. so Static was forced to replace him. This is where the guitarist of...
