"Well, even though no one else will probably read this review or post another one, I'm going to tell you about it. Its the Clay People's debut album and its noisy. Its a strange mix of Industrial Rock/Grunge. The vocalist, Daniel Neet, has a very wierd deep vocal range, very original. This cd is good, with some cool melodies and some just ok. Its obvious that this is their debut just by the quality of the recording(I'm surprised they got a record deal for this album). Its sometimes hard to make out the melodies on some of the songs, but it rings through on others. Overall it has a dark feel, with some irregularities that you find in industrial music like rapid tempo and melody changes. Surprisingly its better quality than their second mini album, The Iron Icon. The Iron Icon was very sludgy and it was hard to make out any melodies(although Palegod is awesome). This would make a good cd to listen to while playing a game or reading a book. Very experimental and spooky sounding....makes you wonder what they were on. The bottom line: I liked it but I gave it 3 stars because of the semi-bad quality and its just not as good as stone-ten stitches or the awesome self-titled. A cool band worth checking out. Nuff said."
