Pro Reviews: Start A War (Cln)
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews StaticX's 2003 album Shadow Zone was a mess. Trying too blatantly to match wits with Korn and searching blindly for depth in electronics and processed drums, it tried desperately to expand on the sound of Machine and Wisconsin Death Trip, and that flawed ambition was its biggest problem. The early material was grating and onedimensional, but it had a certain primal flair for the very same reasons songs were really an afterthought in the face of its blistering howl. Frontman Wayne Static seems to have figured that out with 2005's Start a War, and he's aided by the thick and hoary tone of original guitarist Koichi Fukada, who's rejoined the fold after the forced departure of Tripp Eisen. (This is also the band's first recording with former touronly drummer Nick Oshiro.) From the beginning, War lights into a guttural guitar strut over refreshing live drumming and doesn't let up, masking Static's laughably atrocious lyrics (keywords: destroy, kill, hate, fall, terror, selfdestruct) with an unrelenting roar. Imagine the sewage wind flowing though an abandoned subway line, or a thousand firstperson shooters cranked to full volume, and that's the effect of "Enemy," "I'm the One," the screeching "Start a War," and "Dirthouse." The latter suffers from weird tattletale intonation in the vocal. However, its harsh snare reports are brilliant, and the billowing electronic throbs and sirens make it sound like White Zombie idling at a starting line. It's not a new sound, not anywhere near, and Start a War inevitably falters. It can't survive on a diet of enormous guitar tone alone. But at least StaticX is having fun making this stuff, and in its best moments the album is a raucous, hedonistic chortle, a crinkling PVC lark, an industrial thrash waste valve blaring deafening nothingness into the inky night sky. [The album was also issued in a clean version.] - Johnny Loftus, All Music Guide |

Pros: review
Cons: review
I've been a static fan since Wisconsin Death Trip hit the scene a few years back, and this record is honestly a pretty obvious attempt by Static to recapture the fire from that albumn.
Start a war is much different then shadow Zone, which honestly disgusted me. Static tried to take a different approach and expand, as much as I respect them having the balls to do this it simply sucked. Start a war is a thrash fest from beginning to end. They start off hard and fast with "the enemy, I9;m the one, and Start a war." After these three the albumn slows a bit, but its still damn good. The only main problem that I had was brain fog which is just a waste of 9 minutes.
If your looking for the same experience that was captured in shadow zone I don't recommend this albumn, but if your looking for static to rekindle the death trip or machine days this is the record for you. The passion and hatred is back, and me gusta. ...
