Album Description Celldweller combines the electronic and the organic, darkness and beauty, aggression and sensuality, with the ability to find its home in the mosh pit as easily as on the dj's turntable. Their debut self-titled album ranges from guitar based electronic rock to the unique blending of heavily distorted guitars and aggression with drum and bass trance. Celldweller's music has been featured on television shows including: "The Chris Isaac Show" (Showtime), "Higher Ground" (ESPN, MTV); video game placements, including: "NHL Hockey" (EA), "Road Rash: Jailbreak" (EA), and "Test Drive: Off Road" (Infogames); and even in the Martin Lawrence movie, "National Security".

Pure Genius, Must Have For Any EBM Collection July 8, 2008 Sephiroth A must-have for any industrial DJ or music aficionado. The blend of nu-metal riffs, harsh industrial, and trance leads is a beautiful syzygy. This album should not be this good, considering that it's largely the work of a single human being; nor should it be this good considering the laughably low price. One of the best albums I've bought this year. I'm currently looking at the remix album to complement this one.
The best track on here is, in my opinion, The Last Firstborn. This was the track that put Celldweller on my radar in the first place.
If you like EBM and industrial with a pinch of trance and metal thrown in (e.g., Apoptygma Berzerk), this is an album that deserves to be in your collection.
this rocks. period. March 28, 2008 Adam Tambascio a blend of metal, industrial, rock, techno, AND acoustics, coupled with mid song tempo changes, great harmonies, and adictively catchy riffs. you NEED this cd. it will definately be in your player for at least a couple of weeks on repeat.
Couldn't blend these together with an Osterizer . . . so I bought this album. March 10, 2008 Obadiah Noakes (Longview, WA United States) Klayton, the penname for the singular brain behind Celldweller, has put together a spectacular sonic platter that is tense, melodic, energetic, and creative. Twisting together influences from hip-hop, trance, industrial, orchestral, just plain hard rock, and more, Celldweller's debut album nearly screams for attention from the electronic genre as one of the most overlooked gems in it's own family. Much of Klayton's vocal stylings falls in line with other male rock vocalists, such as Linkin Park's Chester Bennington, and at other times recalls the "roar" that is typical for hard rock, but is well-balanced with a light pop-vocal influence. If it sounds familiar, don't be too surprised. This album (which still has not worn out it's welcome) has had well beyond it's share of use in television ads, film trailers, video game commercials, and the like.
Not bad November 2, 2007 Carmen T. Ward (Los Angeles, CA) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I really like the songs "Frozen" and "Switchback" but to my surprise found that the rest of the songs remind me quite a bit of "Korn."
I downloaded the CD onto my iPod and discovered that instead of the hardcore industrial/electronic music I expected, most of the other songs sound more like Korn, or Stabbing Westward. It doesn't make the CD bad it just isn't quite what I expected.
I still like most of the CD and definitely don't consider it a waste of money, or time. If you are just looking for harder tunes to rock along to, this would be one of them.
Different and Good! March 12, 2007 T. Fisher 1 out of 3 found this review helpful
This CD was recommended by a friend based upon bands that I listen to now (Metallica, NIN, Korn..). He said it was a little different but thought I'd like it. A great mix of alternative and metal. I truly liked the entire CD.
