Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars overlooked?.......2005-05-16

This album is still a blast to listen to(and I've had it for around 5 years now). From the beginning track "loose", the album is an assualt (that is until about song 14) that doesn't stop. I know most will dismiss it immediately because of the rap/metal (it's not as bad a mixture as some would lead you to believe if it's done correctly) origins that it has, but don't be deterred, buy this album it'll definitely be worth your time and money (if you don't mind a decent helping of rap that is). Favorite tracks: dose, set it off, pigs, supa-freak love.

5 out of 5 stars Pretty Decent.........2004-04-06

I dont understand why people are saying its unoriginal .. i mean , if youre trying to express that bands like linkin park or limp bizket are around and there are bands that are ''starting'' to follow , you have to be kidding . This style has been around before those bands and when this style is finally broken in , nobody will complain cause it will become natural like other types of music .. look at ska, im sure people said the samething about it and called it unoriginal .. Back to the cd . Most overlooked band which is sad cause it has a bit more to offer than its ''cousins'' in this style of music . Check out Reveille also , they are another band whos fairly decent and overlooked .

4 out of 5 stars primer 55.......2003-02-23

primer 55 is a good band with a sweet sound. I hung out with the guys after a show in columbus and they really love having the crowd join in the shows. This cd is good because its a metal hip hop mix, the second cd i thought was better because it was more metal.

4 out of 5 stars Good CD...Possibly Better Thhan The First..........2003-02-18

As they would say, I have much "love" for this band. They are from my hometown of Louisville, Kentucky, and their first CD is just as good as their new one...which is also their last. If you didn't already know, P55 broke up, and guitarist Bobby Burns went on to a new band called Beautiful. Preston Nash will probably remain in the music industry, but singer Jason and their bassist will more than likely leave fame behind.

Anyway, let's pretend that I just started this review. "Introduction to Mayhem" is a great (if not original), cathchy rap/metal album. The songs can sound familar to each other at times, and ther's enough interludes to make your head spin, but all in all, this is a pretty good recording. Another thing that's bizarre (but doesn't effec the music) is the way the track lentghts are labeled on the back, but just about every single song is a few second longer or shorter. Makes ya thing, don't it?

1. Loose-5/5-The first track on the album is actually MUSIC instead of a FILLER! The first single (even though it wasn't too big...but screw MTV), it starts off with a hard, straight guitar riff, then J-Sin screams, and the loud ... starts. What makes this song (and so many other) standout is the weird, turntable-luke drum beats, which at first I confused with actual turntables, but their not. Anyway, this is a great, catchy song. Next...
2. Something Wicked This Way Comes-0/5-Filler #1.
3. Supa Freak Love-4/5-No, it's not a complete "wanna be black" song, but it does somehow reflect that, which is the main reason it's a 4. Not the best rhymes, but still listenable.
4. G's-2/5-I always skip this track. No, it's not a wanna-be G song, but an anti-G song, about how everyday kids are killed in gangs, etc. But I come from Louisville, where P55 does, as I said before, and to be honest, there's not really that much gang activity at all when you compare it to Detroit City or New York City or something.
5. Chaos-0/5-Filler #2.
6. Pigs-5/5-A great song, with great rhymes, and great music. Love it.
7. Stain-5/5-My second favorite. Filled with heavy riffs, hard bass, and screaming, screaming, screaming. Something a Slipknot fan will definetly enjoy, "Stain" is a great, high-energy song.
8. Revolution-0/5-Filler #3.
9. Set It Off-0/5-Starts off promising, with a cool guitar riff and an almost haunting verse, but wears away, and definetly fades when (hed) PE's M.C.U.D. comes in a raps it up too much. SKIP.
10. Hey Bubba-0/5-Filler #4.
11. Introduction to Mayhem-5/5-A great, head-bobbing comeback from the last three, worthy of the album title in every way.
12. Dose-5/5-Great. That's all that's needed to say. The longest track on the album. The only track with a hint of melodicness (is that a word?), and I love it. But I've said too much...
13. The Big F*ck You-5/5-My absolute favorite. Awesome drum beats, great guitar riffs, a cool bass line, and great rhymes, screams and raps from J-Sin. Just listen and see...
14. Violence-3/5-A boring song, because it's just a repeat of every thing already heard before.
15. Hate-4/5-A slower-paced track, but still not quite meloic. Very funky, if you will, but it seems out of place after all the other tracks.
16. Funhouse-0/5-Filler #5.
17. Tripinthehead-5/5-Cool song. Great drum/guitar duet. It's awesome.

Overall, this is a great CD. If you're looking to become a fan of P55 for any reasonably rational purpose, I suggest this:

Get "The New Release" first if you're a fan of:
Flaw, Dope's "Life", Deftones, Spineshank, or any similar bands

Get "Introduction to Mayhem" first if you're a fan of:
Dope's "F&R", old Limp Bizkit, Slipknot, Mudvayne, or any other underground rap/metal bands...
