Serious damn grunge ...

This album is great!! Yes, it's sometimes difficult to understand what he's saying, but it doesn't matter .... that's half the fun .... trying to figure out what he's saying! All the songs on this are very powerful, very raw. Play it loud! The screaming is what makes this album.



A tangent ... i wish Hey Man, Nice Shot wasn't this first song on this. I wish they put it as the last song ... you know, build the album up ... and then play their best (...okay, one of their best) song.

Some good grunge, but mostly bad

I purchased this album because it had "Hey Man, Nice Shot". It's a good grunge song, the opening bass is wickedly awesome. As for the rest of the album, it's pretty pathetic. I've only listened to some of these songs once or halfway through. Most of it is really boring and I've had absolutely no interest in coming back and listening them again. I haven't touched this album in like a year accept for just now so I could remind myself how horrible it is. Anyways, I give this album 1 star for "Hey man, Nice Shot", and another for the rest. This album still packs some good grunge riffs, but that's about it. I was about to pond this album off but I left the CD case at home about 150 miles away. I got it back now, and after listening to it again I think I'll pond it off for sure this time.

WOO!!! GOIN' ON 10 YEARS!!!

happy almost 10-year-anniversary, short bus! and yet we STILL hear "hey man nice shot" on the radio.

cool.

anyways, I absolutely love filter to tiny little pieces, but I only started listening to the radio in 6th grade... (4 years ago) so I heard "take a picture" first. I ended up buying "title of record" before "the amalgamut" or "short bus", but I totally recommend all 3. I'll admit, a lot of the songs on this album DO sound alike, which is not necessarily a bad thing. but my personal faves are "under" and "stuck in here". filter lyrics are... sub par, as per usual, but that can be easily overlooked for the overall sound, which ranges from dark, crunchy alt-metal-sounding rock to slow, melancholy... I don't even know what to call it. is there a word for that? (think: "stuck in here", "so cool")



anyways, as with all filter albums (the whole 3 of them) I don't think it's perfect, but the moments where it shines make it definitely worth buying.

or you could pirate the "good tracks" off the internet.

I won't look. but... hey, you know. give the whole thing a shot. you never know. you might find something you like on it.
