"If you ask me, Orange 9mm were always at the top of all the other bands trying to combine rap with metal at their time. At a time when bands like Korn and Limp Bizkit were making it big, this CD was released and a HUGE amount of buzz surrounded them in 99, poising O9MM to be "the next big thing." However, 3 studio albums and a few EP's into their career, O9MM decided to part ways that same year. It's a shame too. Listening to this CD, you realize that Orange 9mm were meant for success. Their blend of hip hop into their NY hardcore roots was extremely infectious and stood them apart from their peers. Pretend I'm Human is probably their most diverse record put out, from the energetic opener "When You Lie" to the beautiful, mellow "Touching Skies" to the grinding "Pretend I'm Human," there's such a variety on here. I honestly can't think of any flaws with this CD. Every song is great. Chaka's lyrics are extremely potent and well sung and are what made O9mm so special to me. If you are looking for the intelligent side of nu-metal, I highly recommend you get this (very rare and hard to find) CD. You will not regret it."

CLASSIC band!!

"Being from NYC, I had the pleasure of seeing these guys play around town from time to time in the hardcore scene. ORANGE 9mm was one of those really great underground bands that stayed relativley underground for most of it's short career. While I thought TRAGIC was kind of shallow in the musc dept. this CD and their first( Driver not Included) were their best. If you havnt had the pleasure of hearing this New York Hardcore band's music, do yourself a favore and pick this up!"

I can't believe I found this!

"I got this cd when I was like 7. I ended up giving the cd to my friend. I remember the song "Alien" was on WAAF and I got this cd at a [store]. Now I got the cd again and I am so glad that I did. This cd mixes rap beats with rock riffs. I remember most of the songs and even the lyrics to some. This cd doesn't have a parental advisory sticker on it even though it should. To make this short, you should definately get this cd if you like punk rock, rap-metal, or whatever."
