 Weak August 28, 2004

With the exception of his columbian hitman this album was rather boring. The ripping off of quotes from the Alcoholic Anonymous Big Book were at first a refreshing blast from what modern music has become, (Namely rap) but this excitement was short lived upon finding out that the artists sport a link to Jagermeister's website on their own. Hrmm.. I think they are trying to catch a seemingly fading market of tattooed still rocking straightXedges. Or maybe, being a hypocrite is acceptable north of the border. Ok.. I must make amends for that last statement. Hehhe...
 Much better than I expected (or how these reviews reflect) July 28, 2003

While I moderately enjoyed "Inches from Mainline", it really was far too nu-metal sounding for my tastes. My expectations for "Metafour" therefore weren't that high. However, after hearing the track "Go" and sucumbing to boredom one day, I decided to give this CD a chance. I really wasn't expecting "Metafour" to be as good as it turned out to be, and its one of the biggest musical surprises of the year for me (beside how surprisingly-awful "St. Anger" is). Granted, the band's sound is not as heavy, but looking beyond that, one can tell that they are much more rounded and better with the sound that they have on this CD. There are still heavy songs here ("Caffiene Love Affair" being the best of the heavier tunes), but the top songs are the ones that are more restrained. "Glass Friend", a song about alcoholism, is the best on the CD. Another excellent track is the single "So Clear", which borders on being a power ballad.I have read reviews below that call this CD "too cliche" in reference to the sound on this CD compared to "Inches...". Apparently not understanding the meaning of the word "cliche", this individual did not realize the "Inches..." was the absolute, pure, be-all-end-all prototypical example of a nu-metal CD. Besides, SinisterFiemd gave Metallica's newest CD 5 stars -- nuff said.

This album is weak. For some reason, they want to be sellouts like new KoRn or other fashioncore bands. I was a HUGE fan of their last album but noticed them hinting toward this change. They've gone completely under. My recommendation: stay away from this album and get Inches from the Mainline. If you have that, check out Mudvayne. They're not compeletely sellouts yet like these guys are

I don't have much to say about this album. It's just ho-hum. I wouldn't recommend it, nor would I advise someone against it.
I will say that I was a huge fan of their song Light On Your Feet, which they released on a demo before Inches From The Mainline came out, so I welcomed a softer approach (not that I disliked Inches...). But this album just doesn't have "it". At no point am I ever impressed with any aspect of this album. The lyrics are okay at best, the music's pretty much standard fare for the genre and the overall feel is just kinda "eh".
Pick up this album if you enjoyed works by Stereomud or Darwin's Waiting Room, although if you're not a huge fan of the harder-Nu Metal, then I wouldn't suggest bothering.
