Despite titles like "Internal Primates Forever," "-1, Nothing To Gein," "Pharmaecopia" and "(K)Now F(orever)" nothing can improve this pathetic nu-metal drivel. Take the sum of the worst parts of Korn, Slipknot, Soulfly and Helmet, and divide it by the technical prowess and rhythmic inventiveness of Coal Chamber, and you've got this mess. The only redeeming quality to this record is the intrusive fretless bass sound that kind of sounds like Les Claypool's noodling. Having Garth Richardson and some dip-shit from Slipknot on as producers means that this will sell stratospheric numbers. Too bad.
