I first discovered Godsmack when playing Prince of Persia, Warrior Within. I loved the dark atmospheric soundtrack, a lot of which was done by Godsmack. after reading a bit more, i discovered that one of the songs on this album had been used in that game and so i decided to buy it. After buying it off ebay for a fraction of the rrp, i discovered an album of metal quite like no other in my collection. the atmospheric, almost claustrophobic guitar riffs, combined with Sully Erna's dark vocals really do make for an astonishing album, offering up a surprising mix of aggression, regret and hope. The title track, facless, comes after a very similar track called changes, leading to a lot of confusion between the two songs. the album sustains its pace very well until tracks 7 and 8, where it all starts to seem a bit samey. however, track 9, "I Am" returns to the pace of the first few songs, picking up in both clever lyrics and threatening riffs. the album then tails off to a peacefull ending, with the last track "Serenity" cooling down, with a sense of tranquility - a rare sight in this album. The two live tracks at the end of the album really do let this album down, but on the strength of the studio tracks carry this to earn a 4/5. If you are into metal and rock, this album is a must have.Read full review
'I Stand Alone' was the first track I heard Godsmack singing (or rather growling!)on Kerrang T.V. about 5 years ago. It is not only on the Faceless album, but also on the soundtrack to the film 'The Scorpion King' . I would say that the rest of the 'Faceless' album is at leastas good as 'I Stand Alone', if not better. It has prompted me to seek out other albums by the group. This is definately the album to listen to if you like your rock with a good dose of of deep and slightly dark base and vocal lines.
