JFC. To me, once again, it's just nostalgic because I used to listen to a lot of Mudvayne and I'm drawing comparisons from everywhere, but these guys are way more groove influenced and, frankly, have a much better sound. But still, I dig this album so far. Finally just checked out this album…

LOL!! I was grossly disappointed with this one. In fact I damn near stopped spinning it halfway through. I liked a few tracks on Passenger like "Meaningless".. I guess I won't bother with this band any more. Glad you enjoyed the record. Cheers. ps: I stumbled upon this site a coupla days ago.. Very interesting.. I found myself disagreeing with several reviews but at least it gave me something to read and also gave me an update on upcoming releases. Keep up the the good work folks !! @ Lee

I can see by your writing that you have a passion for music as well and THAT is what its all about. Honestly, I didn't think Sons Of The System was too repetitive at all. I found the album a "return to form" for Mnemic. After what was a TOTAL disaster in Passenger, I felt like the guys made a conscience decision to head back to the roots of the Mnemic sound. As far as the over-use of clean vocals, I feel like vocally the band just wanted to add more dynamics, more range...and for me (at least) it worked. Now listen, if the next album, dude comes out singing the majority of the album..THEN WE HAVE A PROBLEM! Ha Ha! I love a ton bands that have nothing but low end gutteral vocals, but, with that being said...its always nice to have a band (like Mnemic) that add some variety to the mix. In the end, its all about variety and what does it for that person. Thanks again and Hope to talk to you soon Feel free to comment as much as you like..... Later bro Ha Ha Ha its all good man!

I mean nearly all of the songs are structurally alike, and with a groove-oriented band that seems really odd to me. Of course there are great songs in the album and many more great moments imo, but I thought it lacked variety. Brutality is, as you mentioned, subjective and it can come in many forms. I just thought that the use of clean vocals, or perhaps over-use, ruined the extremely potential heavy moments and, thus, undermining the overall impression the album gave to me. Cheers! Oh, and, to say that Passenger was horrid in an understatement.:) Ah, my comment may have been a tad belligerent, but good that you were able to read beyond that.:)

But hey, give credit where credit is due...they made a solid album from front to back and they deserve the attention for it. They have brutal elements, absolutely...just because they aren't blast beating or death growls...brutality can come in groove form. Thanks for the taking the time to comment....very cool.
