Skrape is a band that comes with a LOT
of buzz. Before the first single ('Waste') hit rock radio, the early buzz
was that they were the second coming of Disturbed. This scared me, seeing
as how I loathe Disturbed. Then, the single came out and the buzz got bigger
and louder..."Uh Oh" was my first thought. Then, I got my hands on the
album, and I must admit, Im a little bit impressed.
Skrape is a Nu-Metal band that doesn't
fit all the stereotypes (i.e.-they don't attempt to rap), all they do is
plug in the guitars and kick ass. Granted, there were a couple of times
in my initial listening to the album that I drew some parallels to Disturbed,
but I quickly decided that this just wasn't the case; the difference between
the two? Skrape is good.
This album is 40+ minutes of straight ahead
heavy rock. Melody mixed with screaming, not a bad break from the annoyance
levels of todays current roster of heavy rock bands. I fear though, that
this band will be the next "thing" for all the Echo jeans, NY Yankee hat
wearing heavy rock kids that fill our malls every weekend. I just hope
they don't turn into the next Disturbed (or Papa Roach, or Head PE, or...),
because that would be a tremendous waste of musical talent.
Quick Side Note To This Review: This CD
was recorded in the same Orlando Florida studio that Britney Spears and
N Sync use. That's kinda funny to me.

Yeah, Skrape is a sick band dude. I heard of them from a friend who gave me their demo cd, and I went out and got the real cd on its release date. I still like this cd, and haha yeah they do just plug in the guitars and kick ass.

I have New Killer America and I thought it sounded like disturbed at first too but when i listened to everything it was a lot better. the whole cd is awsome but I especially love "what U say", "goodbye","sunshine" and I love "KILL CONTROL" it is awsome. other than that they are all good songs but these stand out in my head. Go get the album its great. If U like Skrape, I would suggest some systematic they kick ass too.
