Another crew of pierced and freaky-hairdoed young malcontents, Professional Murder Music add electronic clatter and industrial grind to their dense, radio-friendly modern rock sound. Less aggro than Slipknot, though moodier than their pals Static-X, these professionally murderous dudes offer up a polished self-titled debut that's neither generic nor particularly original. The single "Slow" is certainly worthy of its moment in the sun, while the rest of the songs follow the same formula: a lot of build-up amid programmed bleeps and gargantuan guitar riffs to the inevitable fierce hook, laden with slick harmonies. But the band also attempts to conjure up a creepy horror movie vibe. (In fact, the track "Fall Again" was included in the soundtrack to the slasher flick Valentine.) At this, they're less than successful, creating an atmosphere that's about as scary as your average video game or Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode. ~ Adam Bregman

something i missed from the past an interesting sound. sounded like an odd mix of gravity kills and the portrait of an american family marilyn manson album. just a few nu-metal sounding moments, and some moments comparable to skrew material, or other moments that sounded nine inch nails-ish. it was a great album. totally genuine in their own right. very unique. awesome! always gets shuffled to on my music computer, gladly!

still awesome ive had this cd for about three years now and it is still awesome!It's completely different form anyone else; vocal styles, music, and all. i cant wait for their new cd! Submitted by a reviewer (Phoenix, Arizona) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
not too bad well, i see nobody has submitted a review for this cd so i guess i will. i just bought it a couple days ago and was pleasantly surprised. i had never heard of these guys before but it is an overall pretty good cd. the first song on the cd is simply amazing, the others are okay. they do sound a bit like orgy but they still got their own style. the only reason i don't give this cd better than 3 stars is because a lot of the songs sound the same. however, i still reccommend that anyone who is into heavier music by this cd.
