[EX Q]: oh well . I never write reviews for the cds I buy, but felt the need for this one. NFG seemed to be maturing with Catalyst, but sadly went back to writing the same thing they always wrote. I tried listening to the cd a lot to get hooked, but it's weaker than their self-titled. They grew for the next two albums into something bigger and better, and then lost it all. This album is super poppy, which is ok, but the lyrics are some of their worst. I know some might disagree, and that's fine. I just wanted to warn people, if you liked the direction they were going in catalyst, then you'll probably see this one as a step backwards. Sorry NFG! I still love you! In a manly hitting each other sort of way

[EX Q]: I couldn't bring myself to listen to the whole CD . I saw one of their music videos playing at Walmart and thought to myself: This is really cool! Another goth/rock/alternative band along the lines of Evanescence. I happen to be a big fan of Evanescence and I LIKE the mainstream twist of goth/rock/alternative. Most of the times repetative music doesn't bother me. You find this A LOT in pop, R&B and even country. It's almost common to mistaken a Mariah Carey or Shania Twain song for a different one. In fact, Mariah even made a remix that blended 2 of her songs. To get back on track, I liked the female vocal. The songs didn't allow her full potential of her talent. The male vocals were ok. I wasn't looking for a strictly GOTH or strictly METAL band but a mix of the two. I happen to like it when artists experiment with music. Otherwise Linkin Park wouldn't exist (love 'em too). None of the songs really grabbed my attention. Normally, there would be at least one or two I'd really listen to on a CD. I didn't catch the name of the one that was in the music video @ Walmart so after I bought it I tried to pick it out. I kept thinking to myself: this one must be it! But when I get to the next one I think: wait, this one might be it! Then they all sounded the same so I gave up. I really tried to be open minded & and almost forced myself to pick out at least one song that would rectify purchasing a whole CD for. But they were all pretty bland. I don't think I've ever been so disappointed over an album purchase. Due to the attempt at the mainstream rock/goth I gave it the extra star
[EX A]: NEG

[EX Q]: Why RBX? Why didnt you bring the skills you have? . RBX is one of my favorite rappers, he has a dark, sinister style. Instead of dropping a unique, straight hip hop album(which is what I was expecting). He decided to make a g-funk album co-starring his whole muthaf@$#ing family.This is more of a compilation because RBX only does a small handfull of songs solo, and predictably, those ones are basicly the best tracks with the exception of the snoop and daz collabos. So RBX I ask you, why would you try to make an album featuring mostly talentless artists on your record label, when you could have done a REAL DOPE solo album (how do I miss Heatmizer) and package a compilation of your artists with the album? I could not be more disappointed. I would rather spend my 11.99 on anything but this cd, Sorry X, you wasted your talent on this album, dont be mad at me
