Come On as a jem? Are you smoking through one of the member's used masks?

For more than quite a few bands and artists alike, it's one thing to rehash material here and there for newer recordings to the point where the relatively old stuff can become tedious, though it's a whole different ball game when you base a later full-length album off of repetitive, deteriorated songcraft alone. Released in 2010, Beautiful Stories for Ugly Children was created by malevolent masked men who at the time were shadows of their former selves. This CD's 12 tracks either range from alright to mediocre and all the way to horrible due to inconsistent chemistry between Mushroomhead's members; consumers can tell almost effortlessly how much the songwriting went downhill in comparison to this industrial metal entourage's earlier releases. Waylon Reavis has a vocal range which is wide, sure, but rather devoid of character, and his cooperation with Jeffrey Nothing sounds unreal - and by "unreal" in the context of this offering, I mean heinously forced. "Burn the Bridge," "Harvest the Garden," and "The Feel" are the sixth full-length album's standout numbers bar none. Beautiful Stories for Ugly Children isn't quite irredeemable nor is it an entertaining 49 minutes at all, as much of what comprises the album is tainted fluff.

Is it me or did Jeffrey Nothing's voice get worse? He had sung so beautifully on their previous albums. Most of the tracks on this album are garbage but some are real gems like "Burn The Bridge", "Harvest The Garden" and "Come On". Recording quality isn't great but none the less the overal album is good.

This is hard to rate, some stuff here is laughably bad, while there are actually some good
songs. However, the guitars sound terrible at times and along with the vocals, never kept me
interested.

I was not impressed with this album. Songs were quite boring and the vocals left much to be desired. To their credit, there were a few riffs I liked that reminded me of stuff I've heard before.

More than a step up from savior sorrow, and even more experimental than any album before.
