The Infection sold 15,000 in it's first week and entered at #30 on the billboard chart
whoa didn't expect to see that.

Me either.
The album has grown on me a bit, but it's still a disappointment.
Digging: Tom Waits - Bone Machine

Good song and decent video but I miss the up-tempo anthemic chorus and amazing video for Ressurection. Hunter looks even more perturbed than usual i must say.

it is a bit surprising, but Chimaira is a big name so i'm pretty sure many of those 15 000 were fans who would follow them to the grave.

I think this video was filmed in their practice space/where they recorded the album.

Yeah, no killer underdog fight scenes, or closeups on hookers makes me a sad panda. This has a good groove.
|
| |
haha, damn that resurrection vid was terrible.
|
| |
Almost as bad as Andols haircut lololol. Actually the Resurrection video was pretty cool.
This, Secrets Of The Dead, The Disappearing Sun and the instrumental are the highlights of the album.This Message Edited On 05.06.09

I really liked the song, but i just could not stand the vid, it was so cheesy. They definitely have a great drummer though.
|
| |
I agree, but the cheese it what makes it fun.
Yeah Andols is solid. He has a lot of musical theory and can usually bring the more boring tracks to life with interesting fills, double bass patterns. Talley's work was still better on the self titled though imo, but they both have different drumming styles.
|
| |
both drummers are def good. i think talley was a more standard kind of metal drummer though ie. blast beats and ultra fast fills
andols seems a bit more experimental to me and yeah, he is sometimes the highlight in average songs.
|
| |
You pretty much got it spot on.
|
| |
for the most part though on this album he was pretty basic, seems like he got lazy

There's still some nice fills and tom work. I like the double bass in The Disappearing Sun intro as well.

yeah there still is, I just wish he would have done more. I really like the cymbal fills he does on Frozen In Time at 2:50 and 3:05, its so simple but adds so much
