My Favorite Band, as some of you may know is Static-X

My friend Peter suggested I have a listen, I think this was about the time that Shadowzone, their third album came out, and their fourth was set to be released in a short while.

I listened to the songs "So", "Invincible","Destroy All" and "The Only"

The songs "The Only" especially blew me away, I loved it, It still is my favorite song, Its the only song I will put over "Fade to Black". I listened to the rest of the album, and there was not a single song that I did not like.

My buddy had their other two albums, I listened through Wisconsin Death Trip next, which is argued by many as thier best album, I loved it, there was a few songs I did not like as much, but were still awesome, plus this album contained "Push It" which is way up there in my favs list.

Next up was Machine, It seemed kinda toned down after I heard WDT, but was still awesome, the song "Machine" itself is very very good, if you dont have the means to listen, at least read the lyrics.

So with that said, next up was Start A War, many of you I am sure have heard this song, as it wa featured in SvR 2006, Now while this had some gems, I found it prettyn lackluster, and not retaining the energy that was WDT, the agression in Machine, or the Lyrical and Industrial metal gem that was contained in Shadowzone, now while having said this, I must say in no means is this album bad, its not as good as the first three, high expectations were its downfall for me.

Up recently, was Cannibal, I took one look at the album cover, and knew it would be badass, I was right, got it the day of release, I was blown away, it was WDT 2.0 + Half Machine, It had the agression and energy of the first two albums, "Destroyer" "Cannibal" and "Chromo-Matic" are gorgeous.

All that being said, their worst album, in my opinion is pretty fucking good.

Here is my list in order of album liking

1) Shadowzone
2) Wisconsin Death Trip
3) Cannibal
4) Machine
5) Start A War.

----

Metallica - Ride the Lightning

I should not have to elaborate

---

Tool - Aenima and Lateralus

again, I should not have to elaborate
