Bitterness the Star mostly stays in nu metal territory, but every now and then it decides to jump into an abandoned pirate ship filled with metalcore sweets. This debut album by Anchorage, Alaska's 36 Crazyfists was still in need of polished edges, and there are certain tracks here that are better than others ("Bury Me Where I Fall" and "Circle the Drain"). In the end, these four men managed to give off a first impression which was a bit more than simply adequate.

Alaska is a cold place. This is evidenced by the fact that 36CF's frontman Brock Lindow can't seem to stop shivering while he is singing and/or screaming his lungs out. This has a polarizing effect during the album as it adds to the effect on some songs and seems to detract from others. The music is noting revolutionary but it is well delivered nu metal that veers into hardcore territory from time to time. The overall feeling I get is that the content on Bitterness the Star stood far and above most of their peers in this formerly overcrowded scene.

While the riffs are catchy, Brock's almost "goat" sounding clean vocals take away from what could have been a classic debut.

A more than admirable addition to the nu metal world, 36CF arrive with fury and passion in equal measures. Brock's vocals awash in a desperate fragile like quality soar above the maelstrom of violence pushed out by the other members to create a very unique contrast that will chill the soul

...not great...
but 3.5 out of 5, which is average. about 7/10
it is kind of a transition to their style on the following 2 albums, with a bit more Alt Metal/New Metal style as well
'An Agreement Called Forever' stands out as being epic and well written on this album! Check it out.
