5.0 out of 5 stars
probably one of his best,
By {HB}SharkMan (the ocean of Oblivion) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Maryland Mansions (Audio CD)
I really liked this album even though it is alot different than his earlier stuff, he doesn't joke around in his songs on this cd. Which is ok, although I did like it when he did. He's alot more serious on this album, and i'm guessing that alot of his not-so-hardcore fans won't like it as much. The fact of the matter is that all the tracks on the album sound really good, even though its alot more different than his usual norm. There are no points on the album were it sounded bad, rhymes not rhyming, or weird off key notes (his voice). The last 2 tracks sound like they were recorded at a different time of the rest of the album, and are really good none the less. The one song, "Stillnaut Rjyan" was on a tigerbeat6 various artists cd, "open up and say_@<%_|^[!]" and it sounds alot more bassy than this the one on this cd. I like the one on the various artists one better cause of that.

maryland mansions...witty but fitting title,

This review is from: Maryland Mansions (Audio CD)
unlike previous cex releases, the brevity of maryland mansions seems to encapsulate one notion: namely, the fact that cex is a NIN-loving industrial kid with a bit of sadness in his heart, a microphone, and an awesome (if at times painfully self-conscious) way with words. there are some harsh moments, as in the too-obtuse-if-it's-a-metaphor too-painful-if-it's-literal "stop eating", but all in all this is cex's darker side...and it is not a bad thing.

very dark,
By Sancho Perez (the quon) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Maryland Mansions (Audio CD)
CEX finally seems to break from his split album personality and presents a bleak, and dark album. CEX doesn't have great lyrical ability or rhyming, however the disc is very captivating and interesting. Mostly the beats are ground breaking, especially on the last track, "the strong suit." The beats themselves make the album listenable. CEX sings, raps and screams a great deal on this cd, and there isnt the length of intrumentals as in previous works. The lyrics border on angry or depressed and don't have any of the hip hop/ or even party vibe on previous efforts. Some songs like "My Head", and "Drive off a Mountain" really sound like Trent Reznor trying his hand at electronic rap. Definately the album is a departure from previous efforts and maybe its Jade Tree's influence. This definately makes for an interesting listen.
