this band would blow nuts if Garm wasn't singing. I admit the music is quite catchy, and I HATE nu metal. However, it would just be another nu metal band without Garm leading the way. It seems like in most bands I listen to I never even pay attention to the vocalist, because the music is so brutal or good, that it is the focus. In this band, though, it seems like neither the music nor the vocals take precedence; rather, they flow together very well.

this album is a 9/10 all the way.

Damn, they do sound a lot like A Perfect Circle. Not bad, not thrilling.

First, I have no opinion on QOTSA. I will stick to talking about HCS which was the real point of this post anyway. "Nu-metal" has always been a term that bugged me and once again applied to this band it bugs me. I hear bits of Mike Patton mixed in with some LOA "Soul Searching Sun" type music but more than anything it strikes as similar to some of the more normal Type-O Songs and I hate them so I think while this band has some merit I will need to keep my exposure to these two songs.

i hate to say it, but to me "it hurts" does sound a little bit like some APC/tool/mr. bungle combo. good stuff, though.

and QOTSA do suck ass (except for "little sister").

Long time reader, first time poster. I heard a few tracks by them a few weeks ago at was pretty impressed considering the horrid cover. Like others said, not something I could listen to all the time, but I like it. Garm adds a nice touch to the whole sound.

eh, the first song doesn't really do anything for me. not bad though… kinda reminds me of A Perfect Circle.

that cover art!!! goddamn! talk about misleading. i was really expecting to hear something along the lines of huge radio bands like seether, etc etc. but damn this stuff is light years above that shit.

Haha, I love how everyone seems to get really defensive when something bad is said about a band they like. It's an opinion fellas…not a hard fact.

For the record I don't like Queens Of The Stone Age either (I do like Kyuss in small doses), and I also like Alice In Chains and I've heard a lot of both bands, and this doesn't sound anything like either of those bands. I can see the Faith No More compairson, but I don't think they really sound like them…just where they are coming from on that one. I fucking love Ulver, Garm can pretty much manage to make anything not suck.

I'm actually very suprised by this stuff…I don't think I'd listen to it all that often, but I saw the title, thought about your standard generic nu-metal, and was dead set on hating it…which I just couldn't bring myself to do.
