Every Luxt Album Reinvents Their Style.......2004-07-15

Yet they try too hard on this album. Don't get me wrong, I love the band to death, but they've turned their classics Nerve, Life is Pain, American Beast, + Suck it Down into nu-metal songs that don't sound...Luxt-ish, so it takes a little while to get used to. They have live drums as opposed to the (good/better) synthesized percussion they used to have, and their guitars are more "heavy-metal." It's an ok album, nothing like how the original songs on this cd were tho.

break away in style.......2004-04-25

this album is a new direction stylistically for luxt, and quite a break from their previous album. they've seemed to have a found a style that works well for them and it sounds pretty damn good to me. i love the double vocals that anna and erie are known for and the new complexities to their music in american beast. only reason it's not a five star for me i very much preferred the orignal version of the song american beast and don't care for the album version nearly as much.

Absolutely AMAZING rock music from this gifted band!.......2003-08-02

LUXT is a truly amazing group of talent rolled into one band. I just cannot believe they are not more popular than they are, though they have opened for such groups as Godsmack, System of a Down, Rammstein, Puddle of Mudd, Saliva, Papa Roach, Audiovent, and Alien Ant Farm. Their live shows have absolutely INCREDIBLE energy, and their sound is as clear onstage as it is on their CD's. Totally fresh and unique, evolving with each new CD, but retaining the disturbingly poetic lyrics found throughout their collections. (How lovely it would be to smash your head against the pavement; how lovely if you felt the way I do; how lovely it would make me squeal to hear you scream and slobber; how lovely it would be to f*** you like you f***ed me over)
The combination of Anna Christine's crystalline voice (whether singing sweetly or growling aggressively) with Erie Loch's hard-hitting, Wayne-Static'ish vocals make for an auditory melding that is distinctive in today's rock industry.

You absolutely must give this band a listen, and if you are a fan of REAL ROCK you will most definitely be impressed, more than likely enough to pick up a copy of American Beast. Check out their previous releases too, worth the search in used CD stores. Disrepair, Razing Eden, and especially Chromosex Monkeydrive.

My favorite songs on American Beast are American Beast, How Lovely, Life is Pain, and Suck It Down.
