Were this a snarky music blog with more attitude than substance, a simple "You said it, not us" would be all the review necessary of The New Pathetic. On their debut album, German punk-metal outfit Today Forever proffer a limp mishmash of screamo vocals, post-hardcore unison riffing, and various other current styles, all jumbled together with no sense of musical cohesion. Skipping from the whiny emo of the title track and "The Trigger Pulled" to the faceless indie rock of "Champagne for the Chambermaid," to the plodding thrash of "Adventures or Nothing," The New Pathetic sounds like the work of a band who can't decide just which bandwagon they most want to jump. As a result, they don't perform particularly well in any of their chosen styles, and they seem utterly incapable of blending their wide set of influences into anything new or unique. Even the fact that Today Forever manage to pack all 14 songs' worth of this musical indecision into less than 30 minutes doesn't really help the album, because the short, stilted songs sound like the band is speeding through a selection of unfinished fragments. There is very little to recommend here. ~ Stewart Mason

Dutch pomp-metal band Epica, fronted by classically trained mezzo-soprano Simone Simons, released their second album for Nuclear Blast only a year after their label debut, the more unique The Classical Conspiracy. That two-disc live set found them performing a mix of classical works and their own songs with backing by a full orchestra and choir. This album offers more of their bombastic goth metal songs, with Simons' vocals floating atop an ever flowing stream of complicated drumming, epic riffs, and shredtastic solos. The use of orchestral instruments to add John Williams-like climaxes is intermittently successful, but the music is just as frequently stripped down to an unaccompanied piano or to just the rock band, and that works, too. The very occasional interruption of male death growls is less necessary; frankly, the band should just let Simons do her Sarah Brightman-esque thing and keep the riffs cranking behind her. If you like this sort of thing ...
| | Tool Aenima CD (1996) (Import) Germany
New Pathetic songs
$13.49 
AENIMA was nominated for a 1997 Grammy Award for Best Recording Package. "Aenima" won the 1998 Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance.
On its second full-length album, this hard-rocking quartet delivers 15 tracks of unrelenting aggression and focused intensity. Rather than overwhelm with huge sonic washes of guitar and booming drums, Tool employs a propulsive, snaky approach that makes use of undulating rhythms and clipped, percussive guitar riffs. Maynard James Keenan's vocals follow suit, opting for a heavily processed slow burn instead of the post-grunge bellow favored by so many hard-rock bands. Instead of flailing uncontrollably in all directions, the group's raw, energetic sound is tightly directed for maximum impact.
On songs like "Stinkfist," Keenan rails against injustice while the band churns mercilessly behind him. There is very little humor or light in Tool's worldview (except for song titles like "Hooker With A Penis"); these are songs of painstakingly articulated angst, and they are delivered in an earnest, deadpan manner. These fierce rockers are dead set on making their point, and make it they do, with all the bloodshed ...
| | Dream Theater Falling Into Infinity CD (1997)
New Pathetic album
$9.29 
Dream Theater's specialty is atmospheric metal, at times heavy, at times sinister, with a sharp techno edge. "New Millennium," the disc's opening cut, defines the sound: ringing guitars, a driving beat, start-stop dynamics and rolling drum crescendos. There's a bit of a Rush influence at work here, as well as ELP and even some Metallica. "Hollow Years" is a quieter track, replete with gentle acoustic guitar, soothing vocals and an inspirational theme about the lifting of old curses and the possibility for redemption. Lead singer James LaBrie has a slightly nasal, but otherwise pleasing modern pop/metal vocal attack, which he exercises with passion throughout. If you like your metal melodic and even, at times, introspective, you should enjoy a visit to this Dream Theater.

Take the lyrical preoccupations of the Scissor Sisters, the overall glam rock homage sound of the Darkness (minus the singer's castrato wail), the Queers' devotion to punkily melodic hooks, and the sort of insouciant cock-of-the-walk attitude that was last seen in Marc Bolan's heyday, and what you'll end up with is fairly close to the Sex Slaves. The glam-punk New York City trio are unapologetically salacious -- the best song on the album is called "See You Naked" -- but their main interest is in the rock rather than ...
