 (52 Customer Reviews)
These wacky Cleveland nu-metal-heads have been wowing Midwest audiences since the early '90s with their masked-men-of-mystery schtick, but XX proves that they're no mere posers. With an intriguing mix of hip-hop, metal, the requisite cookie monster vocals, and most importantly some actual songs (witness "Never Let it Go"), Mushroomhead are set to fill the yawning metal gap currently sparsely inhabited by bands such as Tool.
"Chancre Sore" is blistering metal/hip-hop, while "Before I Die" is festering, synth-laden heavy rock, "Xeroxed" is a full throttle assault on the senses, and "Episode 29" consists mainly of a lot of Gothic-style screaming. In short, if this forceful major-label debut is anything to go on, Mushroomhead may be the answer to a metal-starved music fan's prayers. If they manage to keep the masks on, they could, in theory, continue for decades, with a revolving door of personnel--a kind of metal Menudo.
Contains 28 hidden tracks following "Episode 29".
Mushroomhead: Jeffrey Nothing, J Mann (vocals); Bronson, Gravy (guitar); Shmotz (keyboards); Pig Benis (bass); Skinny (drums); Stitch (samples).
Additional personnel: Scot Edgell (vocals).CMJ (4/30/01, p.17) - "...Employs piano, clean vocals, and strong song structures; and beckons more to Faith No More ca. KING FOR A DAY or FOOL FOR A LIFETIME..." XX Music Review Average Rating: (4.4 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews love
I love this album. I grabbed it back in 2001 (somewhere around there) and I haven't outgrown it much at all. Truly beautiful lyrics with the music to keep ur blood pumping. Jmann
XX is a compilation of Mushroomhead's demo stuff. If u say Savior Sorrow or XIII (Mushroomheads latest albums, widely regarded as being weak or watered-down) are sh\t albums u need to get yourself acquainted with their early material.
Mushroomhead, more than other bands, has changed over the years. the band's been around for almost a decade and a half. Their early stuff was much more techno/industrial-inspired. When XX came out, Slipknot and all the nu metal acts were getting mad radio play and Mushroomhead happened to fit the scene at the time. But in actuality, they've never truly been apart of that genre.
All in all, if ur into metal or hard rock and ur not familiar with the band, this is the album to pick up. the newer two albums arent bad, but XX is special because, in a way, it was in production for twice as the other two.

With influences from such groups as Faith No More, Tool and Pink Floyd, this Cleveland group knows what music is all about. Mushroomhead harnesses energy, emotion, sickness and hatred and uses it to fuel one of the greatest albums the metal industry has seen of this decade. A truely unique blend of Hardcore metal, melodic choruses, lulls of symphonic bliss and hip hop, Xx will remain to be a record to be reconed with. Though not as well known as groups such as Slipknot and Mudvayne, the refined ear will tell you that the quality of the music this band releases is and always will be something for everybody. While listening to the album from front to back, one could feel his/her mood change several times. It's a gripping musical masterpiece. If I could give it more stars, I would.

This audio document of The Corrs' Dublin homecoming concert has pretty much everything fans of Irish pop could wish for, including an appearance from Bono in his earthly incarnation, fresh from an audience with President George W.

Most of the rock-influenced country stars of the '90s have modeled themselves on the light side of '70s rock--The Eagles, Dan Fogelberg, Bonnie Raitt. Travis Tritt has cut a singular niche for himself by looking instead to the harder side of country--Waylon, Hank, Jr. and other musical outlaws. Like most nouveau country stars who went to rock and roll high schools, Tritt also listened to his share of Lynyrd Skynyrd and Bob Seger (he even memorializes Duane Allman on "Put Some Drive In Your Country"); but few of his contemporaries are as adept at incorporating that big rock sound into hard-nosed, blue-collar country.
"Here's A Quarter (Call Someone Who Cares)" may be the high point of '90s outlaw music, with a bold acoustic guitar rhythm that nods to Steve Earle, a baritone vocal that is all George Jones, and a lyric that spits out pride and defiance where lesser men might cave in to sentiment. Tritt is proudly steeped in country lore but isn't afraid to upend a country cliche or two. "The Whiskey Ain't Working" is a drinking song in reverse--maybe even a sneaky ode to sobriety. Since the drink ain't doing its job, Tritt (with a duetting Marty Stuart) goes looking for a honky-tonk angel. Usually, of course, it's the angel who drives you to drink.
There are fine rock moments among Tritt's singles, too. "Anymore" features some tasty tremolo guitar work, and other songs add stinging electric leads and bluesy harmonica fills. The descending chords and layered acoustic-electric arrangement of the power ballad "Tell Me I Was Dreaming" could light up any Midwestern arena, and "Sometimes She Forgets," a Steve Earle-penned song that is one of two new recordings here, features a guitar arrangement that would do Richard Thompson proud.
In the early '90s, Travis Tritt was an Outlaw Country warrior, fighting the tyranny of the "hat acts" and carrying the torch of Waylon Jennings-style, rough-and-ready country while still remain
