I have a soft spot for Coal Chamber, though admittedly a small one. When I first heard songs like "Big Truck" and "Sway" and the StrangeLand version of "Not Living," they sounded very near to extreme metal to my then-sheltered ears. But by the time this third album came out in the spring of 2002, they just didn't have that dark, threatening atmosphere of the first album, and what remained was going stale. "Fiend" is a great opener and an obvious first single. "Glow," "Something Told Me" and the title track are good too, but after that I start losing interest, though "Drove" and "Beckoned" are minor highlights in the late going. For a band that were often accused of being Korn ripoffs, Dez has actually adopted more of Jonathan Davis's staccato, semi-nonsensical vocal style on songs like "One Step," and was trying to sing more as well (but still poorly), though at least he stays away from the whole hurt-little-boy routine that kept me from fully embracing Korn.

The other problem is that I was getting into stuff like Arch Enemy and Shadows Fall around this time, and Coal Chamber and their ilk just weren't doing it for me anymore. Their turn on Ozzfest that summer degenerated into daily drug-fueled brawling, and the band broke up by year's end. Dez got hip and formed the very heavy DevilDriver, who put out excellent and very heavy records like The Fury Of Our Maker's Hand and The Last Kind Words.
