by PacManY2J in Music, - Top 500, Oct 30 '04
Pros: cathartic; different Cons: repetitive
When I need something loud, fast, and cathartic, one of my first choices is usually Static X. Their brand of heavy, industrial - and might I add insane - metal is great for when I need to let loose and release aggression without actually breaking ...

Pros: Energetic industrial-metal fusion; solid opening tracks Cons: Drab, repetitive and formulaic after a while
Industrial-rock fusions have never exactly been in short supply, but oftentimes the two genres provide enough flexibility for new artists to carve out a new direction. Static-X, with their heavy-metal overtones and the offbeat vocal stylings of Wayne Sta ...

Pros: A few good songs Cons: Most songs aren't very good....
Static-Xs sound is much different than other heavy metal bands. It combines electronic music with heavy metal sounds. I first heard of this band from my old friend. He brought it over and played "Push it" I liked that song, it was so different than ...

Pros: Heavy metal meets disco Cons: Too much repetition
It was only a matter of time. After all, electronic music has been picking its way through pop culture for quite a few years, now, and many bands, with an eye toward trend, have taken to incorporating snippets of electronica into their standard...

Pros: You can dance and Headbang to it....Great Songs...Very Original...You will probably hear a lot about them in the future...Constantly touring.. Cons: One Song...DECEMBER!
I first got to hear Static-X after I encountered a small management page called "Andy Gould"...after visiting the page and hearing some tracks, I was convinced to hear more from the "Bride of Chucky" soundtrack. Never before have I...

Pros: Great hardcore rythms, vocals, mixed with a hint of techno Cons: Some lacking middle tracks- album fillers.
From track number one this album takes hold of you and holds you tightly. Combining hard rythm guitar, bass, and drum beats with some (almost NIN) techno with the powerful hardcore vocals and greatly in tune backing vocals, Static-X is tearing up the...

Pros: Decent sounding Industrial Hardcore, something refreshing. Cons: Aimed at teens...
1999 saw the debut release from Static-X, a band that has made huge waves, especially on the live music scene. The band itself is led by Wayne Static, very outspoken frontman, with big hair. The other members match the sound of the band, looking like a...

Pros: Their fast stuff is great! Almost warrants a purchase. Cons: Not enough speed, repetative.
I first heard about this band from a friend who mentioned something about the lead singer's hair. Being a very devout metal fan, I went to a webpage to check them out. They looked impressive so I decided to try their album "Wisconsin Death...

Pros: Simple, aggressive, incredible vocals. Cons: Can get a little repetitive, good luck trying to understand what Wayne Static is saying when he sings.
Simple, yet addictive. There is no real way to describe Static X in terms of other bands. They have created a unique sound all of their own. It's surprising that other bands haven't done anything like this before. But most other bands didn't have Wayne...

Pros: Heavy; Driven; Energetic Cons: Songs blend together until you get used to them
A friend of mine (Deadcoil) sent me a tape of Static-X's song Bled for Days and I was irrevocably hooked! It's rare for me to fall completely for a band based on one song, but when he told me the rest of the album was just as intense, I...

Pros: Intense metal/industrial core sound Cons: Lyrics tend to lack a little.
It was around Halloween of 1998 when I first encountered the band Static X. I went to a show at NY's Life to see Type O Negative. This particular night we happened to arrive at the club very early, and it was cold outside, so we decided to go inside...

Pros: Fast paced metal with unbelievable guitar work and roaring, "Pantera"-like vocals = the future of all metal music Cons: Repetitive sound, but nothing major
Inspired by my quest for improvement as a reviewer and the fact that I used to really suck at writing these funky things called Epinions, here's my new and improved review of Static-X's "Wisconsin Death Trip". Sit back and enjoy, then...

Pros: Energetic Cons: none
I first heard Static-X on 90.5FM WBER, in Rochester, NY. I instantly fell in love with their sound. After buying the CD, I loved them even more. They are stimulating and no matter how many times I listen to them, they never bore me. Static-X seems...

Pros: good to mosh to Cons: -
For every fan of HEADBANGING, moshing, and jumping around to heavy, yet energetic music, Static-X is your best bet. Wisconsin Death Trip is the first album in a while which has gotten me out of my seat, jupming up and down. Songs like "push...

Pros: variety of music styles that fit Cons: sometimes hard 2 understand lyrics
The very first time i saw the video for "push it," I knew Static-x was going to be a great band with a great cd so i took a chance and bought it. WOW! The cd is great. Static-x has a very unique and original sound. Some people may call it...
