Black Light Burns - 4 Walls

[pen]

Mistake. Mistake. Mistake.

Goes for adds October 29th, but it's obvious that "Coward", "Mesopotamia", and "Cruel Melody" would be far superior choices than this song, which I consider to be one of the weaker songs on the album.

This is pretty much Limp Bizkit without their lead singer, right? This single sounds like an old Limp Bizkit radio single in my opinion. I don't have this CD, but I assume they're going to try harder to distance themselves from the old band. I liked their first single, although the title escapes me.

Black Light Burns is really a hell of a lot more like Mudvayne meets Nine Inch Nails than anything Limp Bizkit has done. And the only person from the band who was in Limp Bizkit is Wes Borland. Danny Lohner and Josh Freese are two of the other members, which accounts for the NIN influence.

This song is probably one of the most straightforward (and worst) on the album, so the difference probably doesn't come across as well.

There are a lot more tracks on the album that have a heavy industrial vibe, although I thought "Lie" had that kind of feel to it too, except filtered through Mudvayne. But then I don't think any of their songs sound like Limp Bizkit.
