At first glance, Injected seems to be another
run-of-the mill heavy alternative band. Honestly, I'm tired as hell of
that genre. It's fine for what it is, but I can't stand the trend of every
band on the radio sounding like this. I have to give credit where it's
due, though, and the fact that I really do like the Injected record surprises
me.
What they do, they seem to do a better
than the rest. Since this is their debut album, that makes them all the
more impressive. With this album, expect strong lyrics, great production,
hard driving guitars, and some melodies that actually truly cling. However,
also expect a few weak tracks, and a lack of general lack of variety. Listening
to the album all the way through in one sitting, the songs tend to blend
together a little too much. That might be more of a personal preference
for me as a music fan than a true album criticism, it's just record seems
redundant at times. Still, a lot of what's here is great. When playing
certain tracks in my car ("Bullet," "Burn It Black," "Lights Are Low,"
and the hidden bonus track come to mind), I can't help but shout along
to the choruses. That right there is the Scott Vile seal of approval: When
songs make me look like a jackass in traffic. If you're a fan of the genre,
pick it up.

hey man, this album deserves 5/5 stars! It's the best album ever! Their lyrics are very mature and the guys seem to be really intelligent judged upon Danny's songwriting. Not only that, but these guys can jam! I'd love to see them live! They're very original too, and each song is so in-depth. The lyrics are so full of meaning, and Danny's very sexy!!! I love him! (ahh, i wish he would see this) Definitely the best album of all times and my favorite group. (i'm a very tough person to please too- lots of critisism but i have nothing bad to say about "burn it black") To prove I'm a good music judge, i'll say this: Led Zeppelin, Nirvana, Tool, Pink Floyd, Alice in Chains, and Bush rock, just like INJECTED!!!

Hey, i'm listening to "burn it black" right now! This is the best album ever! And it was really a shock to me that it was a debut. But it's weird because at first i don't think i liked it, but the second time i listened through the whole thing, i realized that they were really a unique sounding band! They have a bit of grunge sounds, but still- i've never heard anything like it. Everyday i listen to it, and it's one of those very selected few that will NEVER get old. I'll never get tired of listening to it- Danny has such a great voice, and the music overall is really awesome! Lots of guitar solos- my kind of band.
