The title of this new static-x album can be summarized like this: project for sure, regeneration not so much, vol. 2 absolutely a large amount. It’s a huge album, coming in at 14 tracks, and a lot of the material is mostly okay, with a few decent tracks and a few subpar ones. They all mostly feel incomplete, like there is a certain mojo or magic missing here. Occasionally, they are able to capture that static-x vibe with some interesting riffs, quirky lyrics, or industrial elements. However, it’s not enough to hold your attention. The three tracks on here are pretty well thought out and have a decent uniqueness to them; however, one of them samples heavily from older material. I think since they wanted to use a lot of old material here, it feels like nothing new or exciting is brought to the table with this album. There are just a lot of half-cooked ideas. On the production side, it was really hard to hear some vocals and drumming at times. I will say there are some solid riffs and bass lines here and there that can make up for the album.
