First of all, this is Nu metal. Mallcore. Not really considered 'metal.' With this out of the way, we carry on to the music. Listening through 'Twisted Transistor' you hear the blueprints for the entire album: down-tuned guitars playing riffs that make you wonder how they could write something so simple, drums that play easy patterns with little variation and occasionally sound programmed, vocals that may sound cool but have that weird layered thing going on (this is used so you don't notice how weak someone's voice is), repetitive song structure (some of these songs even sound like a few chords with a bunch of random noise) and pointless lyrics (I'm not the kind of person who writes off a band for swearing, these lyrics really don't mean much of anything). This is really just poorly written music that tries to make up for that fact with bizarre singing and a multitude of pointless keyboards/effects. There is really no comparison to a band like Agalloch, for instance, who uses crushing atmospheres to build up to truly beautiful melodic climaxes, or Unexpect who despite being Avant-Garde still manage to put together a strong, cohesive, moving song. (note I don't hate on bands for not being br00tal enough, nor do I only listen to metal, my musical tastes really do carry me all over the place)
