Motograter - Self Titled.

I actually bought this a couple of weeks ago (when I got the Justin Timberlake disk reviewed earlier), but wanted to listen to it more before making a decision.

Well, this is a fantastic CD pure and simple. It's obvious these guys are influenced by some of the nu-metal acts out there, specifically Mudvayne & Slipknot, and proceed in that same vain. Though what they lack in originality they more than make up for with some heavy, ass-kicking, power driven riffs, and blistering vocals. They pretty much stick to simplistic lyrics, with straight forward heavy grooves layered with some heavy bass lines. I love the crunching guitar and lush vocals on " No Name", and the non stop drum attack on "Collapse".

Some of the more vicious tracks are "Suffocate", "Down", "Prophecies", and "Wrong", and "Collapse".

I would highly recommend this disk to anyone that likes Mudvayne, SOAD, Slipknot, Sevendust, Soil, Mushroomhead, Flaw, Nonpoint, Spineshank, etc.

On a side note, these guys put on a fantastic live show. Again, it's very reminiscent of Mudvayne complee with the face paint and monosyllabic psuedonyms.

Overall I'd give this disk a 7/10. It's a great disk, but definately not breaking any new musical ground.
