Static X: Wisconsin Death Trip

Sun Feb 26 21:22:58 2006

Do you like it loud and proud? Then Static-X is a band for you! Part Prong, part Ministry, these boys know how to rock hard.

The quartet is led by Wayne Static, a freaky looking guy with a long, braided goatee and hair that stands straight up. He can growl with the best of them, and still manage a James Hetfield vocal every now and then.

OK, so I was introduced to these guys by Purdy back in 1999 and I immediately went out and bought the CD. Yeah, it was a solid purchase. Static-X is loaded with tons of energy and aggression, and you know I love that. Having a bad day? Let these guys ease you down with some thrashing tunes and lots of yelling. I feel better already!

The CD starts out with Push It, a great anthem that should be played at every sports arena. This is powerful and fun stuff that is sure to get you up and running. Other fun songs from this disc are I’m With Stupid, I Am, and Sweat Of The Bud.

My wife and I listen to Squizz a lot on XM and they like these guys, so I was pretty happy when I randomly grabbed the CD off the shelf. I never bought the other CDs they came out with, and now I’m wondering why. After listening to Wisconsin Death Trip again, I realize how much I like it. Why don’t I listen to this thing more?

4 out of 5!

I hardly ever listen to it, myself, except to drag "Push It" (which is basically a 100% Ministry knock off) out every once in a while. Have you dusted off any old Clutch CDs lately? They're still around, still touring -- they've played Raleigh at least four times in the time I've lived here, and sold the joint out every time. Who knew?

Actually, I don't think I have any Clutch CDs anymore - I traded them in.
