Independent review

The Los Angeles band 3teeth has released its third full-length. What interested me about Californian industrial metal? Unexpectedly high ratings from critics. I have not heard fresh good alternative metal for a long time, so I thought, why not? Maybe it will cheer me up in a way that is not real? Unfortunately, I heard practically a failure on all fronts. Let us start with the production, we will likely end with it too, because this is the determining indicator from the sound to the style in this situation. All three records of the band were produced by Sean Beavan (he also mixed), known for his work with Marilyn Manson and Nine Inch Nails. Did you guess? An original mixture resulted from the sound of early Manson with the original (in quotation marks) ideas of late Manson. In general, they took everything worst that one could take from him. And also the corresponding industrial, all the more so metal. Something only slightly going beyond the frames of heavy alternative rock. Nothing truly irritates on the album, as also on the majority of Manson releases, but only two things are memorable: ALTÆR and President X (the names are also trendy ones, from the end of the 90s). Sometimes motives of Rob Zombie slip through, if one Manson is not enough for you. As a result - an inarticulate comeback occurred in the times of the MTV of the end of the 90s as well. Yes, and I am not against it, and I am sure that there exist a multitude of analogous collectives, and these even squeezed out a couple of more or less worthy tracks. Only, there is nothing to be enthusiastic about here, and for those to whom absolutely any Marilyn is beloved - let it be.
