At first it sounds like Living Colour vocalist Corey Glover was spliced into a joint project between Faith No More and Testament, but the longer Sevendust's self-titled debut album plays, the more it takes on its own life. The Atlanta, Georgia band is well schooled in thrash metal, but it has a soft spot for sing-along melodies and more than a passing interest in hip-hop. Cobbled together, the results could sound fractured and divisive, but Sevendust's surging wah-wah guitars, razor-edged riffs, bloodcurdling screams, and soulful vocals blend together as smoothly as strawberries and rum. --Jon Wiederhorn

 Powerful Album-Best I've Heard March 10, 2000
15 out of 23 found this review helpful
I dont care what anybody says, this is one of the best albums out today. They used very little money to make it, but the sound is incredible. I am a big fan of bands like Tool, Godsmack, Biohazard, and other hardcore bands, but they do not even come close to the calibur of this album. The singer, Lajon Witherspoon, has such an incredible voice. He sings with many different styles, ranging from very melodic to an all out growl. I was a little disappointed with the guitar playing, its a little bit unclear, but the singing and percussion make up for it. Those who insult the CD and give it 1 or 2 stars don't know what heavy metal is. This is so much better than sellout bands like Korn and Limp Bizkit. People that dont like this CD can't appreciate good hardcore music. Their CD Home doesn't even come close to their self-titled debut. Every single track on this CD is great. Peace Out to all the Sevendust fans.

To this day Iam surprised that Sevendust hasnt made it big yet, but then I think to myself, hey thats cause they havnt sold out. This album as well as Home are two of the best metal CDs on the market, plain and simple. The heavy riffs mixed with probably the most talented metal singer EVER Lajon, create a very unique blend of harmony. Ive seen these guys play live serveral times and they are filled with tons of energy. This CD kicks major @ss! Best songs are Terminator and Too Close to Hate, actually the whole CD rocks. If you like Metallica and Creed you'll fall in love with Sevendust.
I just love this! June 4, 2001

wow! this is what nu-metal should sound like! i wish more releases were of this calibur. It's true that the production isn't as good as on "Home", but you won't notice it unless you're actually thinking about it. The guitars CRUNCH, the singer is phenominal (probably the best nu metal vocals along with Finger 11's vocalist IMHO) he can growl, but he's also awesome when he is really singing as well! I put this a step up from "Home", although it is slightly less commercial so MTV slaves might not be prepared for it. Phenominal riffing and singing. I haven't had a chance to completely listen to the drumming and bass, but i was caught right off guard by the power of the vocals and the guitars! a top-notch album. one of my top 10 albums of all time.

Truth be told, this isn't really their best album, as some would say. I say this because it lacks the diversity embraced in the other three albums. For instance, every song on Animosity sounds very different from the next, whereas you could easily confuse songs like "Terminator" and "Face" on this album. However, this is still an awesome mind-blowing experience that you owe it to yourself to pick up, and is defintely much better than their second outing Home. And it's a shame that bands like Godsmack and Staind, mediocre acts who started out opening for bands like Sevendust can sell more records but I'll be the first to point out that the music industry is pretty screwed up. Oh well, let's focus on the music, shall we?While I may be tempted to dissect each and every song, I think I'll refrain from doing so. Like I said, some of the songs on here sound quite a bit like each other, but they're all pretty darn good. Opener "Black" is obviously the stand-out track and was the first single released on this album. Mixing catchy riffs, clever lyrics and bass with one hell of a pulse, it's no surprise that this is one of my favorite Sevendust songs.
"B*tch" is a great follow-up, and the subject material for that song is a little different from what most Sevendust fans would expect (though they sorta re-hashed this subject with "Enemy"). And then come the rapcore(ish) songs. Don't let me make this sound like a bad thing, Sevendust is NO Limp Bizkit, but the rapping can be irritating at times. But "Terminator", "Face" and "Speak" are all great, underrated songs that deserve more credit than they get. "Prayer" is probably my second favorite. This song is the only one that resembles Sevendust's more recent material. It's a nice, jazzy almost ballad-like tune with some surprisingly good lyrics. Lajon also sings his heart out here. "Will It Bleed" is also another favorite. While the tune may be repetitive, it has a brilliant finale, with guitarists John and Clint performing beautiful solos. And if I didn't know any better, I'd say that song is the absolute best of Connolly and Lowery's entire musical career. "My Ruin" acts as a bluesy ballad, actually one of the first Sevendust songs written (this appeared on the Mortal Kombat soundtrack when the band was first signed as Crawlspace). "Born to Die" is reminiscent of Pantera, incorporating thrash into the soulful atmosphere the band presents in the chorus. Look folks, the point is, this album is better than anything else that you hear on the radio. Forget Godsmack and Disturbed, Sevendust eats them ALL for breakfast, and if it weren't for them, those bands probably wouldn't be so popular anyways. I for one am not too big on the numetal scene, I'm more into death metal, black metal, and power metal. But let me tell you one thing, no matter what music I'm listening to in 20 or 30 years from now, Sevendust's music will ALWAYS remain in my heart. This band has changed my life in such a positive way. They're not Satanic, they don't do the fake growl, and they've produced four outstanding albums. Do yourself a HUGE favor, and check them out now!

Say what you will,this is not anything when compaired to the real masters of Metal...Sabbath! You can try and try but the truth of the matter is that its all been done by the best there ever be,I give it a star for effort.Not because it was all that great. Heads up to Slayer ,Metalica and Sabbath...The best there ever be.If you want a real good Metal band try Iron maiden,you wont be let down or early JP.such as Stainded glass or Brit/steal.
