| Up The Dose CD (2004) (Import) Bonus Track; Japan
 $39.49
For its sophomore effort, Skrape seems stuck. "No Respect"'s multiple vocal tracks are a bit much, but there's real rocking in there somewhere. Up the Dose's best moment might be "Syrup," an atmospheric later-album track that leaves plenty of empty space around its spidery guitars and plodding percussion, capitalizing the chorus when it finally lurches into gear. Bassist Pete Sison gives both the title track and "Habit" a powerful, sludgy bottom end, and the guitars of Brian Milner and new guy Randy Melser (who replaces Mike Lynchard) cut and parry with real metal meat. The bright "Stand Up (Summer Song)" taps the same formula, but it's at least blatant in its embrace of an I-just-washed-my-dreads, P.O.D.-style mindset. Dose's harder fare does let Skrape rock without as much worry over what nervous ninny suburbia will think. However, Dose can't quite shake a preoccupation with precision. Its every moment is coddled and tweaked with an ear toward marketability, and all of that fine-tuning and dovetailing nearly massage it much too far past a happy ending. Recorded at The Hit Factory Criteria, Miami, Florida; The Boom Boom Room Orlando, Florida and Mixing Room Studios, Playa Del Ray, California. Details TBA. RCA.
Skrape: Billy Keeton (vocals); Brian Milner (guitar, keyboards, background vocals); Randy Melser (guitar); Pete Sison (bass); Will Hunt (drums, background vocals). Japanese edition of the Florida-based nu-metal act's 2003 album is scheduled to include one exclusive bonus track. "Bleach" and "I Can't Breathe" rock barely enough for active radio, but their universal angst ("I can't think when you complicate me") and breathy, layered vocals are an easily consumable kind-of metal pill for the crossover set. They'd like Up the Dose to build fully on the promise of "Goodbye" and "Kill Control" from 2001's New Killer America, tracks that cracked the nu-metal mold with stratospheric vocals from Billy Keeton and slight twinges of Deftones psychedelics. Like Trapt's multi-format 2003 hit, "Headstrong" (which shares mastering guru Ted Jensen with Skrape), too much of Up the Dose seems meticulously prepared to please. The Japanese issue of Skrape's UP THE DOSE comes with one bonus cut. The song slides in the slime between early Soundgarden and modern metal, and its final, aggressive tempo change only makes it more effective.
