Synopsis

Amazon.com
From the band name to the album title of their dozen-song debut, it's clear Dope don't shy away from controversy. In fact, the quintet embraces discord with songs like "America the Pitiful" and "Pig Society" that posit the band as a more angry and political (if less dramatic and provocative) Marilyn Manson. Modern metal melds with techno touches on the majority of the carefully wrought songs of Edsel Dope, who, along with real-life brother Simon Dope, formed the band. While they're not all that incendiary (though they deserve a parental-advisory sticker), Dope have nonetheless made a powerful debut. From the irresistible kick of "Sick" to the Ministry-meets-Rob Zombie "One Fix," to vocal effects on the cool groove of "Kimberley's Ghost," the album fits right into the Ozzfest Nation's aggro consciousness. --Katherine Turman

Pretty lame

"these guys aren't original at all. They sound EXACTLY like Marilyn Manson "Antichrist Superstar"-era and the more I hear them the less I like them. Just a stereotypical metal band that old people talk about ("You can't understand what he's saying", "He's just shouting "F**k you, f**k you"), which is true, in the first track, the only part that comes to mind is a blatantly dull chant of "F**K YOU! F**K YOU!" Oooooh that's very big and clever ain't it? There's no intelligence in the lyrics or music and it all seems like its been done LOTS of times before. Only a couple of songs worth listening to: "F**k Tha Police" and "Sh*t World"... is all the swearing needed? Maybe its to cover up the fact that they are talentless. Probably a good live band, a very dire band on disc."
Very Sweet

"I saw them open for slipknot and have been a big fan since, this album is incredible. Dope is the best new band in 1999, yes that includes slipknot! They have skill can write songs in key and make them heavy without down-tuning the guitars! This album begins with the agressive Pig Society and by the time it is over you will have turned on continuous loop for the entire CD. Seriously there are no bad songs on this album. I have met dope twice and they are very down to earth willing to say hi and give an autograph. I have each member's signature on a ticket stub from their show and Eidsel signed my dope shirt. Do I recommend this album? Hell yeah!"
