2 out of 5 stars They had potential but..........2004-11-09

..wasted it. I'm pretty sure Spike 1000 broke up, you don't hear from them much anymore. One problem they had was their tremendous arrogance. I saw interviews with them in which all four of them proclaimed what a gift they where to music and how superior they where to other bands at the time. Another problem is that a heavy band with a female lead vocalist can either disregard the novelty or go along with it, Spike 1000 did the latter. Finally, this band plays boring boring nu metal, with some hints of held-back creative talent. The vocals are really strong, she can hit some cool notes and has a sexy yet strong vocal presence. Yet her lyrics are all about ME! Make ME Suffer, etc. Typical "I'm pissed and angsty" lyrics venting anger at some anonymous ex-boyfriend or something.

Anyways, so long Spike 1000. Sorry you wheren't as amazing as you claimed.

5 out of 5 stars Picked it up by accident, LOVE IT!.......2003-12-06

I bought this cd from a music store in Dallas that was going out of business. I bought it because I saw the parental advisory on it and thought the album art looked cool. I saw the name of a few songs like " make me suffer " and " sucking spikes" and I knew I had to have it. The first lick on the first song and I was sold. THIS CD ROCKS! You have got to see the tatoo on this chicks back that is shown on the inside cover! wow! Her voice rocks and she says " you f' ed with the wrong girl " on track 09 and says " dont f with me " haha if you like angry chick singers you will LOVE this cd. "f" anyone that doesnt like it or gave it bad reviews! hahah that is what she would say! I bet amazon wont print this review! hahahahaha

2 out of 5 stars Just another dud in the scores and scores of nu-metal bands.......2003-06-14

This CD is really nothing original. Take about 5% Slayer, and then 95% other nu-metal bands that came before them, and you have Spike 1000. Not a good sign. The only thing they take from Slayer is a level of heaviness. This is also not that great on this CD... No solos, no memorable riffs, not anything worth your money. I don't know how SO MANY TERRIBLE BANDS like Spike 1000 get record deals. Probably because the record labels know they can make money off of gullible little kids who want to get into the newest music. It's just sad. Don't buy this piece of [*] and look somewhere else, and DEFINITELY not in the nu-metal area.

3 out of 5 stars Surprise Surprise... (3.5 STARS).......2002-04-18

This band has the horrible task of competing with big name bands that have been discovered by the music industry at roughly the same time: Hoobastank, Flaw, Injected, Apex Theory. But a band is never good because it is popular (yes it is possible for a band to have fame and still lack talent-- NSync what?) Spike 1000 however offers an element that isn't found on the radio, and I'm not sure it has a name. It's sort of a "we're an underground emo-metal band that can still write catchy songs" type of element. Who knows? One thing is for certain, no other nu-metal band has the juevos to put a chick as their frontman... er, woman. She has a bit of a female version of Maynard thing going on (though Maynard's vocals are much more reserved and established).

Culture and gender-bending is hardly what makes the band great though. Angst and attitude undertones harnessed into great pop/emo/metal songs is what makes S1K noteworthy. The album opener, "Manwhore," was enough for me to find the album and buy it. It is still one of the best songs that I've heard in years. Other than a few gauche moments, the song is perfect. "Measure Me" could have been on the radio 5 years ago, could be on there now, and will probably be able to be on in 5 years down the road. Only time will tell if it happens (though Columbia is notorious for getting people hosed). "Nowhere" is possibly the finest song on the album, and it's in stiff competition. This will be one of the best records of 2002. (Released in 2001, but mainly realized this year). Bravo! Overall: 7 out of 10.

5 out of 5 stars Unique Blend.......2001-11-02

I'm a little bias about this album because I've seen Spike perform so many times live and I know that this is an album put together by a band that really knows who to put on a live show.
