I am often chilled by the band's interpretation of songs. They are just more dark and forceful. Unlike everyone else in this thread...i was horribly dissapointed by Passive. If you didn't notice...Passive is the studio remake of Vacant...the Tapeworm song that they played live (that pissed Trent Reznor off). It had such balls and a real rock edge to it. they seemed to have softened it up a great deal, they seemed to castrate it, Whether it's the sound they wanted, or maynard was just feeling lazy in the studio that day we'll never know. I'm also not a fan of the second singer on this cd...it's kind of annoying to my ears...was that paz? maybe i should read the liner notes...he he he, i just bought the cd yesterday. however, though i just bitched about the majortiy of the cd, i don't feel it was a waste of 11.99. infact i'd give it a 3.5 just because i admire what they're doing and i see true talent in the band even in this "not as good as the rest" album.
