Details: Amazon.ca With the opening line "Cynics and Christ-like hypocrites / How they stick to you like glue", it's pretty obvious where Coal Chamber are going on their second album. They know which side their bread is buttered, and after the success of their self-titled debut, the American spookycore rockers have stayed fairly close to their signature sound. Frontman Dez still snarls, spits and roars his vocals while the rest of the band shred their various instruments with abandon, this time adding keyboards, synthesizers and an orchestra to the pile. "Tyler's Song", written for Dez's son, is a rare display of emotion from the band, but the real highlight has to be their version of Peter Gabriel's "Shock The Monkey", featuring lead vocals from Granddaddy of Metal, Ozzy Osbourne. The song itself is surprisingly faithful to the original, but it's worth the price alone just to hear Ozzy wailing "Shock the monkey" as if the cuddly little primates are the Antichrist incarnate. --Robert Burrow
