Digging a little back

Not too back. 2002. Filter is a band that I feel has been overlooked in the long run. I've always known they were around and they did have a few videos running on MTV, but it wasn't until I heard this record in a friends car that I really took notice. I think it was the drum sound on this song (American Cliche) that really got to me. And so I bought The Amalgamut, their third record,produced, recorded and mixed by Ben Grosse (who did Sevendust's Animosity a year earlier. check it out). I have to say that this is a Sonic Masterpiece. Rarely have records come out sounding like this, and the experience only thickened the more I listened. The drums on this one are truely phenominal, and every thing else rises to the same level. I also must add that I really enjoy Richard Patrick's voice and must listen to him every once in a while. The song's are fun,they range in color but mostly kick ass. If you like this genre it just might be what you're looking for. Listen!!!
