Basically, Jason C Miller and co. go through the motions. They indulge in tired industrial rock and goth metal clichés. The songwriting is pretty uninspired throughout. While this is all not completely indigestible in small doses (the melodies are actually memorable, the production is good, the vocals are solid), as a whole, the album is simply something that doesn't draw attention for a very long time. We're dealing here with the same tried and true formula of mid-tempo rhythms, simple power-chord chugging riffs and soaring (yet sorrowful) vocals. We've heard this all before and it wasn't particularly engaging to begin with. Also, I think the current alternative metal scene might have had more than its allowed share of similar bands. To top all of this off, Godhead treat us to some of the wors't ballads I have ever heard: "Fall Down" and "Inside Your World".
All in all, this is a pretty mediocre album. I wouldn't recommend it anyone unless you are really in the mood for some unobtrusive and formulaic industrial rock.

Agree man... I would call this more of a post-grunge than anything else... can't see how 3seconds of electronic little noises makes this album industrial. Pure crap. Not that their early albuns were some serious masterpieces.. but I can extract lots of good moments from Power Tool Stigmata.
