Product Description
From Amazon.com
In the wake of Nine Inch Nails' ascent to superstardom, a gaggle of bands usurped at least seven of Trent Reznor's nine inches and crafted catchy electronic metal songs that festered with brooding angst. One of the best of these groups was Gravity Kills, which balanced melody, noise, and grooveability in equal parts. But the band's second disc, Perversion, lacks the immediacy, dynamics, and hooks of their self-titled debut. The songs are constructed in the same mechanized dance framework, but they don't build and dip in intensity, and they rarely create any atmosphere but radio-static overload. There are a few exceptions. "Wanted" shifts from a jaggedly lumbering surge to a buzz-saw grind, and "Disintegrate" features some compelling drum & bass beats and a pretty decent chorus. Overall, however, Gravity Kills have slipped from their perch and are now nearly indistinguishable from any other bar band with samplers. --Jon Wiederhorn

hmmmmm.... i guess,
By A Customer
This review is from: Perversion (Audio CD)
Well, if your like me you probably heard their first radio hit song.... (guilty).... and if like me you probably liked it. since then i havent heard from them nor purchased a cd. So i thought id give them a try.... I have to agree they sound very...i mean very similiar to NIN.... nothing wrong with that. But the music gets repetitive, id have to say the best song on this album is the last one.... Belief(to rust). But only because its very deifferent than the rest. If your in a rock out mood, then this cd is the answer, if your more into creativeness, then perhaps you should listen to something else.... all in all its a cd i can listen to, a few times get tired of it, and never play it again until im angry or drunk.

Gravity Kills Rocks,
By A Customer
This review is from: Perversion (Audio CD)
What you got here is failure to recognize good music. People try and compare bands these days to just about anything. The truth is this band went from their first album, which popped out three good singles which both hit TV and dance clubs. This band crossed two of musics most popular sounds and created one heavy hitting sound. From Mortal Kombat to TBS promos this band got through on their first and didnt disappoint on their second. Instead of trying to copy something, they built on what they started from. Making some of the guitars heavier and more dominant, while keeping the vocals and mixing where they should be and taking the beats to a newer level. This is a great album and one of the greatest follow-ups in music.

A Good Sophmore Album,
By A Customer
This review is from: Perversion (Audio CD)
This is Gravity Kills 2nd album and it continues their industrial metal sound. However this album doesn't seem to have the originality or the addictive-ness of the original.. But it does the band justice. The tracks that stand out on this one are Falling, Drown and the eerie closing track Belief (to rust).
