ANNIHILATOR - SCHIZO DELUXE
TURN IT UP, MAXIMUM SATAN...
STRAIGHT TO HELL!
STRAIGHT TO HELL!
I'm starting to get tired of reviewing new Annihilator albums. This band has sucked real hard ever since 1994's King of the Kill, well Criteria For a Black Widow was alright too but more or less every album since then has hit a new even lower level of suckage.
There's not much positive to talk about here, but the drums have improved slightly since their last album that had programmed drums.
Then we got the negative, I just don't like Dave Padden. He is one of those modern metalcore type of vocalists with no talent that just screams into the microphone because his grandma told him that's what metal sounds like. Dave is by far the worst Annihilator vocalist to date. I much rather listen to Jeff Waters singing.
I mean he is there, he should front the band. It's his band after all.
I've never digged the modern metal sound that Annihilator are so into these days and Schizo Deluxe is just more of the same garbage we've heard for years now.
I wouldn't call this thrash no more, no this is more groove meets Nu Metal.
The song Drive seems to have the main riff copied from King of the King from 1994 so there are even some re-hashed riffs on this one. That's how uninspiring they've become.
Schizo Deluxe is what you can expect. It's Jeff Waters solo project and we can't expect them to ever bring back the sound of the first two records.
Sorry but I can't give this more than a half star.
