Customer Reviews

Good Music
This CD is the definition of nu-metal. If you don't like this Cd and are a nu-metal fan, then you are crazy.

Steer clear of this mess!
Amidst all the 5 star reviews there was bound to be a 2 star, and that 2 star my friends has finally arrived. Motograter's debut album pretty much unfolds like I worst feared...it opens with `Suffocate', the worst rap/rock song I think that's ever been recorded, begins to offer a glimmer of hope in tracks like `Wrong' and the brutally energized `Collapse' but they self destructs in the latter part of album on tracks like `Mutiny' and the embarrassment known as `Get Back'.

The problem that arises even when Motograter gets it right is that nothing here sounds inspired or original, it's all been done before and quite frankly it's been done much better. Their music sounds like Mudvayne meets Soulfly and the lead singer sounds like a mix between Maynard from Tool and the lead singer from Breaking Benjamin. Keep in mind that all four bands just mentioned put out much better music than this band.

I will admit that I like `Wrong' where ironically the band gets everything right, and I like the brutality and intensity of `Collapse' which just explodes in your eardrums, and `Red' is even a track I could listen to more than once, but those few tracks aside this CD isn't worth much. 'No Name' starts off promising, and the verses are sung great but they just ruin it in the chorus.

I'd recommend downloading those three tracks (even if it's pirating and the government will hunt you down like pigs for it) and avoid spending money on just another garage band trying to capitalize on a gimmick (that gimmick being heavy music paraded around with silly makeup and strange names).

Wade's Review of MOTOGRATER
This is one of the best albums I have ever heard in my life. I first heard their music in late 2003 when I played NASCAR Thunder 2004. I heard this song on it and I was like, OMG, that song is awesome! The song was "Down", which in my opinion is their best song, and my favorite of all time. Then a couple months later I bought their CD at Fye for like $22. Trust me, it was well worth it. I have the CD to this day too. Not one song ever got old, especially "Down". Nearly every single one of their songs are awesome. My favorites are Collapse, Prophecies, Wrong, Red, Get Back, Mutiny, and of course the most popular, Down. The entire CD is awesome. The drummer is the best I have ever heard, the singer has an excellent voice and can sing many different tones with precision, and the guitars are perfect. I'm telling you, go find this CD at the mall soon! You will be very amazed when you see that this no-name band could possibly one of the best of all time. And PLEASE listen to the most awesome song ever, Down!! Rock on MOTOGRATER!!!
