The song is good, but blends too well into the rest of Short Bus. The guitars are turned up loud and the song is heavily drum driven. Patrick's vocals are distorted, yet turned all the way down. Under is held together more musically, and is another hard, industrial song. The chorus is a bit loud and intense, and the song is hard, pure, and industrial all the way. The song starts out slow then picks up right off the bat and Richard Patrick comes chiming in, talking slowly as his voice distorts all around you. Quite simply, the best Filter song ever happened to be the first song people had heard from Filter.ĭose introduces the atmospheric industrial rock that mixes guitars, bass, and keyboards so well with drums that Filter is known for. The song picks it up at the end as Richard Patrick shows he can scream just as well as anybody as the song speeds up and gets louder. The song takes a while to get kicking, but once it does, the guitar echos and drums quietly drawl out as Patrick murmurs the verses. Starting out with the epic single, "Hey Man Nice Shot", Short Bus kicks into gear. I can attempt to find uniqueness in a song, but in almost every song Richard Patrick's vocals have that distorted sound and the atmosphere is spread around. Almost every song has the same industrial atmosphere. This record's biggest drawback is that every song can be grouped easily together with any song. While not as good of a lyricist as Trent Reznor, or gifted musically as Reznor, Richard Patrick's Reznor-influenced music should not be passed up. While being a good album on paper, Short Bus suffered from poor production, and it being too much of the same.įilter's sound fuses perfectly with Richard Patrick's voice in a way that will not be touched. Their records Title of Record and The Amalmagut were awesome and Short Bus should not be looked over. Filter is one of the bands you can credit for bringing industrial rock to the mainstream. Many people knew of the song 'Hey Man Nice Shot' with it's major radio play, but not many people knew of the disc, nor the band. Review Summary: While Hey Man Nice Shot and So Cool are epic the rest of the album falls short and all sounds the same.įilter is an interesting band forming up from Nine Inch Nails' Broken, and is the best from the famous single 'Hey Man Nice Shot' to the pop single off of Title of Record, 'Take My Picture', Filter managed to fuse mainstream rock and industrial rock.
