Twisted Method - Escape From Cape Coma (13 tracks) +Album Reviews

Twisted Method - "Better than average" is an understatement.

"How I came to own the CD is almost quite humorous when I look back on it, but the ultimate point is that not for a moment have I regretted spending the money on this CD.
But I bought it, almost expecting not to like the music, for I'm somewhat critical when it comes to new bands. So I popped the CD in, and was almost immediately drawn in. The first track, cleverly titled "The End", is the perfect song to get the blood pumping and a crowd roaring, with its fast, hard beat, and drawn-out screaming; it is immediately followed by "Fled", a song that, no matter how hard you try, is unable to keep you sitting still. Songs like "Akward Silence" "Newborn", and "Shine" are more harmonious, slower-paced songs in which raw emotion is easily heard through Tripp's voice, which ranges anywhere and everywhere from screaming to soulful throughout the record. Examples of songs that contain and display a variety of styles are "Reach", "Inside Out" and "Rot".
The band chooses not to define themselves as "nu-metal", but "crack-rock"; a bit faster-paced than your average metal band. The members themselves have musical influences ranging from hard rock to R&B to rap, all of which helped contribute to this unique blend of various rock/rap styles on this 13-track disc. And unlike most new bands in this genre, you cannot accuse Twisted Method of having a song that sounds the same as the next.
In conclusion, if you have the money, it's worth checking out - if not, have a listen at the sound samples offered on this site, and other music sites. If you think you like what you hear, save up and buy it. And if you don't like it, I'm sure you'll find a friend who will.-Nikki"

Just "Escape"

"Prepare to see them in Ozzfest 2003, after you're heard Twisted Method's debut, "Escape From Cape Coma" (the title being a reference to Cape Coral, their hometown, which has "newly wed, the nearly dead, and everyone in between"). Raw, roaring, it smacks you in the face and leaves you breathless. In a good way."Escape" flares up with the searing opener "The End," the faster and louder "Fled," the explosively anguished "Reach" ("reach out your hands to me!"), the more complex "Change" (which dips down to a soft, almost ballad-like tone, then blasts back to full-out rock), the excellent "Awkward Silence," the fantastic "Shine," the catchier, rough-edged "125" and the equally searing closing track, "Faceless" (the title is shouted with such intensity that I winced).If you don't like your music angry, you won't like Twisted Method. "Escape" brims over with four letter words and even the not-so-angry songs contain lyrics like "It's building up inside I know I've had enough/1,2,3 blow it up!" Elsewhere the songs let rip with "Empty a clip to ease my pain/I have this hate for everything." Even so, there's some different feeling in some of the songs, such as "Where is my place in life?/Why can't I get it right?/Tell me what I'm going through/Where are we going to turn to?"These four, who have been a band since high school (Derek pawned his Playstation for a bass), don't pull any musical punches. The guitar-led music blasts through like some sort of elegantly choreographed explosion. The vocals range between smooth, controlled singing and an anguished howl that perfectly matches the guitarwork.It's hard to have any "halfway" feelings about Twisted Method's explosive debut. It'll hit you hard and fast, and leave you thinking over what it is you've heard -- the "Escape From Cape Coma.""

Anything but a coma

"First off, I'd like to ask people who don't like a certain type of music to not review that type of music. For example, if you don't like so-called "nu-metal" (I hate that term), don't review nu-metal cds. Obviously you won't like any cd of that genre, so your opinion is not helpful to anyone considering purchasing that album. I don't like rap, so I don't review those cds because I would rate them all one star. Be sure to check out all of a reviewer's previous reviews to make sure they know what they are talking about, and like the same things you do before trusting their judgement. Also, I've seen numerous reviewers say this band sounds like Slipknot. I own all of Slipknot's cds, so I can confidently say that in no way do Twisted Method sound like them. Enough of my beefs with other reviews, now on to my own.

I picked up this cd on a hunch, and I can't believe I got so lucky. I often go out on a limb and buy cds from bands I have heard little or nothing from, so when I listen to the cd I have an open mind. After listening to this disc all the way through, I instantly knew I found something special. Twisted Method is so much better than all the bands they are often lumped together with. The first two songs come out blasting, and are just average. However, after that, every other song on the album is great. This band has a good range, and though some people may not like his style, I think the singer's voice really works well with the music. This band is not the most innovative in the world, but I'm one who believes that a band doesn't necessarily have to break new ground to be good. They really put everything they have into their music, and there is no sign of an attempt at mainstreaming their songs. They play the music exactly how they want it, and if you don't like it, too bad.

If you like music that blends heavy guitar and hard vocals with softer music and vocals without feeling forced or out of place, this is a band you should try out. If you don't believe me, download "Awkward Silence", "Inside Out", "Faceless", and "Reach". This will give you a really good idea of what this band is all about. If you like those songs, you will like the album, and I encourage you to support the band by purchasing it.

To give you an idea of my taste in music, some of my favorite bands with fairly recent releases are (in no order): Fear Factory, Soil, Rob Zombie, Black Label Society, Flaw, Ill Nino, Mushroomhead, and Slipknot."

Hello From "Cape Coma!"

"These guys originated from my home town, Cape Coral, Florida, known as "Cape Coma" to the younger set. They are awesome and it is great to see a group of guys from such a small boring little town make such a big name for themselves with awesome music! The CD is a must have for any collection. You won't be sorry!"
