NEUROBOX Calm

Album · 1998 · Gothic Metal

"Calm' by Neurobox 1998.

This album is definitely different than their later releases, but there is still a similar sound. This album has a lot more metal influence than their later albums, which progressively get more and more rock opera. This album still has their unique style, sound, and lyrics. This album was before they really found their signature sound, but still has some of that sound and is very, very good.

Track 1, 'Indecent', starts with a scream and is really metal, but then when it comes to the verse its their distinct sound. '2:17' is mellow and unique, most of the track having a fun time signature. Track 3, 'Pacifiers & Pretzels' was featured on their 1999 s/t EP, which has yet to be resurfaced on the web. Track 5 if the original 1998 version of 'Temper', featured on their 2000's album, 'Eve'. This version of the track is far different than the later version, and it is much more mellow, experimental, and even has fully different lyrics and partially different song structure. The main connecting part is the bassline, which is the main riff in the 2000s version. The breakdown later on in the song is also the same in the 2000s version. 'Cold Dawn', track 8, is probably one of my favorite tracks from the album. The lyrics for multiple tracks commonly tease at potentially domestic abuse and other similar topics, but it is hard to tell due to the unique and abstract lyrics, but on Cold Dawn it is much more clear. Track 10, 'Juxtapose', is an short interlude transitioning into the following track. This track is instrumental, but in the CD booklet, for the lyrics for this track, they put a small poem, which is really unique. "Marked", track 12, also the last track on the album, talks a bit of Christian/catholic things, like slipping a cross on, being 'marked', and the lyric that repeats multiple times later on, "The devil's in your mind!" This song is written from the POV of a boy being framed for being satanic or something of the sort, or maybe its not being framed and is true.

This album is great but there is one main flaw: The screaming vocals are subpar. The vocals are great, but when Pete screams, its very unpracticed and crackly. Other than that one note, the album is great and I recommend you listen to it.

NEUROBOX Eve

Album · 2000 · Gothic Metal

This album, if you even just look at the songs, you will notice that almost EVERY OTHER SONG is an interlude. I both find this annoying, but also wicked. I love it when albums have a bunch of interludes. It is a bummer that they dont do this for later albums.

The album goes for a Rock/Metal Opera feel and I surprisingly love it. The lyrics and the melodies are unique, and totally get stuck in your head, like the chorus to Boeing '93, the pre-chorus on Ocho the Lovebud, the verses on Charmer, or the breakdown/chorus on Abracadabra.

Individual track notes. Charmer, track 21, holds an very upbeat and happy sound. I am not sure how to describe it (i suck at describing things) but it is a lovely song. Ocho the Lovebud track 6, has an introduction which i kind of hate, but its short and the song is kick ass. The pre-chorus is such a nice build up for the chorus, with a unique sound, but also not being anti-climatic. The end of one of the later repeats of the chorus really just hits (3:55). Boeing '93, track 4, is really clever with its lyrics. The chorus, "Mayday! Mayday! We're going down!" really works with the title and theme of the entire track, as well as the miscellaneous ambience heard over the track, seemingly progressively more audible. The later part includes lyrics such as "Why is everyone crying", followed by the singer imitating a young girl's voice saying "I'm too pretty to die", which really helps to put the idea of crashed flight into your mind, and also oddly adds a emotional connection to it. San Michele, track 23, is a nicer more acoustic track, where the singer sings from both a girls voice and a mans, resembling a man and wife singing together, as in an opera.

Favorite track: Ocho the Lovebud Least favorite track: CPR (Ignoring interludes)

STUCK IN KAOS R.X.

Album · 2008 · Nu Metal

This album is full throttle and heavy throughout. Every song is heavy and kick ass, and the guitar riffs are CRAZY. The album remains consistent with these. The album, and the band overall, 's lyrics dance around the corruption of modern times, war and politics.

Individual track notes. Vicious Reign The song speaks about an abusive relationship, with lyrics like "You let him play his games", "Run away, just get away from this pain", and early on it says "Don't you let him get his hands on you", which soon changes to "Don't you let me get my hands on you". God Head The song starts with a calm mandolin(?), ambience and what sounds like a speech given at a church talking about us all being full of sin and us needing to "let the light of god into our horrible children, or they will burn" which immediately cuts to the heavy metal instrumentals with the singer screaming "BURN!" Reclamation sings about there only being one nation, and that nation needing to take out all the others, or, as the lyrics say, the nation is needing to "Purify". "One nation, run you gun! Bring 'em down, need to purify". At 2:25 it has a mellow down segment which immediately kicks into a INCREDIBLY heavy segment. Chemical Mind speaks about drugs and shit of course, and also the loss of control. "Someone tell me, what do you do when your out of control? When your mind gets no control, when the pills can't help you, and only hide you, when you cant face life!" Too Little Too Late This song constantly switches from calm unplugged guitars and singing, then back to heavy heavy riffs and drums. "Don't tell me I'm wrong, and you have it right! Don't tell me I'm wrong, don't tell me I'm wrong!"

Favorite track: God Head Least favorite track: (can't decide)

AT WILL I Put The Me In Mess

Album · 2000 · Nu Metal

This is a great, much lighter metal album. Though it is still heavy, the album experiments with higher pitch, delicate singing amongst the scream-like vocals. This choice of having these light sing-song vocals works very well with the theme the album goes for: High school love story, and self-doubt

The lyrics commonly go over this theme, some songs more than others, and overall the album fits the theme of old high school love and nostalgia. The best example of this is the last song on the album.

Individual track notes.* Trifecta directly goes into the idea of being in love, but also having a heavy self-doubt, and even self hatred? Lyrics saying things like "Soon you'll love me", "The murder of me", and primarily "I'm the biggest you've ever seen, biggest mess you'll ever know". The end of the song is a long stretch of a guitar note and two different vocal recordings: One of the singer doing the light delicate long singing, and one of the singer screaming things like "Where did you go!? What did you want from me! No!", both vocals feeling very heartfelt. 8th Grade Crush goes straight into the idea of seeing your 8th grade crush, now in high school, with one side being ashamed, and the other still hopelessly in love. Like the girl is avoiding the boy, but the boy is still in love. Lyrics that go with this 'hopelessly in love' theme include "I've fallen in love all over again. I'm grown, so grown.", and "Love you like a lover so I see you like others", while the ones that show the girl avoiding the boy include "Girl, I know I'm in your sight", and "Lowered head, down the hall".

Update/Addition, I've also recently come into liking of track Ujahn. Ujahn is the longest track on the album ,nearing 8 minutes, and is entirely piano, and its so good. Its a very good piano song, calming and relaxing, sad but also uplifting and hopeful. And after a desolate quiet bridge they begin to thunder on the keys in an very dramatic and emotion gaging segment. In conclusion, Ujahn is odd as its a full piano composition in the middle of this hard rock album, but it is very good, and its over all feel, dancing around with the sad depressive mood, with a bit of a hopeful aspect, it fits well with the album.

Favorite track: tie between ''8th Grade Crush' and 'Ujahn' (yes, Ujahn, really) Least favorite track: Rachet

ELEMENT EIGHTY Mercuric

Album · 2001 · Nu Metal

This album is just great no matter what. This album is incredibly heavy and kicks ass.

This is the band Element Eighty's first album, and 4 of the songs were remade for their self titled released 2003. This album is just really good and raw and I love it.

Individual Track Notes. Yankee Cake has a really neat verse flow, with its singing and its drumming, with the hi-hats. The song speaks about being betrayed and being better off without them. "And you call yourself a fucking friend?", "I'm insane, I loathe you. I'm alone, and better off without you". Painmaker, like with a decent amount of E80's early tracks, has multiple notable moments where the singing and the guitar riff sync up, like the pre-chorus, "Body Ache, Forsake, Penetrate, this fucking pain". A better example of this would be in Bloodshot or Pancake Land Frustrated perfectly transitions into R & M and it works very well. R & M's chorus is incredibly good and catchy.

All the songs have incredibly good and even catchy(?) guitar riffs.

Favorite track: R & M Least favorite track: Echo Song

No, that's incorrect. Only collabs can add artists; other members can add releases to existing profiles but not edit them.
