Rating: First of all, let me say that this review will be quite short since this audio cassette contains 4 songs.
Being completely self-produced, this work features a rather raw recording, even though Coal Chamber is not known for audio quality.
The first song, as in their debut album in 1997, is the now famous "Loco," which is completely different from the version three years later, starting with the still young voice of singer Dez Fafara. This track also features diversity in instrumentation; indeed, various guitar parts are extended while others are reduced. In short, it is listenable, if not for the very strained voice of the singer.
The second track on this demo is "Babbit"; this is my favorite song on the record, which despite the aforementioned points turns out to be one of the band's best, reminiscent (for the younger listeners) of any song from "Cannibal" by Static-X.
Next, we arrive at "My Frustation," which, in my opinion, greatly influences the style of later albums like "Chamber Music" with its slow rhythm and the vocalist's characteristic hoarse voice.
The last track is "Broken," which I had to dig through the depths of torrent sites to find; in my opinion, this is the least significant song on the album, perhaps also why it has been overshadowed by the others; it does not adhere to the usual characteristics of Coal Chamber that we all know, leaving even me astonished.
In short, I hope this "Quick Review" was enjoyable and makes you want to listen to Coal Chamber even more, a band that represents nu metal in all its characteristics.
Tracklist and Lyrics
01 Loco (00:00)
PULL - STEAMROLLER ROLLIN' THROUGH
MY HEAD SAID ATTACHED TO LOCO

PULL-LOCK DOWN HERE LATCH THE
GENERATOR ON SCREW THE SYSTEM
FULL POWER HIT THE MAIN PLAN
02 My Frustration (00:00)
where was i when god had shown
how to make a happy home
lie in bed and sleep don't come
have some peace then give me some
and i know the reason why you hold me down
i won't let this fear of loss make me drown
in my bed i lie alone
scrape together bone to bone
and i can't seem to seem to find my way
i can't seem to find the break of day
i'll stay just a step away
where was i when god had shown
how to make a happy home
and i have become my worst enemy
i will survive this instability
in my bed i lie alone
scrape together bone to bone
again i have become my worst enemy
i will survive this instability
i need to breathe the breath of life
you constantly drain my life
why can't you see the breath in me
i constantly need your need
my butterfy don't fly away
if i could just take this simple breath of life from me
you couldn't take it motherfucker eternity
if i could take this breath of life and come inside of me
you wouldn't take it, i need to breathe
as i creep the monkey's back
now she's gone and oh he's back
and i know the reason why you hold me down
i won't let this fear of loss make me drown
i will stay, i'll stay
i will stay, i'll stay
