Cold Album: “Cold”

For most people who just discovered Cold, if you listen to this CD and compare it with 13 Ways To Bleed Onstage, you might be surprised at how their debut CD is much angrier, frustrated and depressing than the newer stuff. The music is pretty simple, but still rocks. Scooter's voice is great on this album. They do a lot more acoustic songs, which is nice, because I think bands like Cold really shine the best through their acoustic numbers. Some songs seem almost over-the-top depressing, especially "Insane." "Give" is my favorite track, a very fast, but emotional track with a great chorus. Fred Durst (love him or hate him) really made a great discovery with this band and I cannot wait for their 3rd CD.

Even though later Cold albums like Year of the Spider and 13 Ways to Bleed on Stage would make them famous (with hits like Stupid Girl and No One). It was their 1st cd that made them known and got the bands heavy onslaught of metal music going. This album may not be the better of the rest but it is just as good. On selftitled Cold play the dark moody sound we all love but no light ever shines in, 11 tracks of depression and rage stay throughout. Songs like the fabolous Serial Killer and Insane have got to be the most angry and brutal songs Cold's ever put on an album, well Go away and Give are the fastest hard hitting tones that can have your heads banging till they fall off. If your a die hard fan of metal and Cold then you should have this cd in your collection. But if you don't like the different kind of early creepy sound it brings to the band, then don't ... buy it. But otherwise a very impressive theraputic debut!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i do believe that cold is one of the best bands around. I hope they stick around for a while. Its refreshing to hear lyrics that actually mean something. They are a real band, and just because that stupid mook Durst discovered them, doesnt mean they are like him. Cold has talent no questions about it.

This is possibly the most depressing album I've ever heard. It's all about death, rape, and not being loved. A full listen to this album will have you in tears or it will have you forcing a barrel down your throat. This is raw, gritty, emotional music at it's best. This is not sunny day music; put this in on a dark rainy day or when you find out your girlfriend's fxxxing the pool cleaner.

this cd is one of the best works of art ive ever come across. The way it was put together is just amazing. INSANE just blew my mind away. Ive never heard someone put so much emotion and pain into their lyrics the way scott did.The album starts out with GO AWAY, and thats just a masterpiece on its own (i have to say the eyesocket remix is actually better in a way), then GIVE which is a great follow up, UGLY, which i have to say gives me the same feeling ever time, EVERYONE DIES, is yet another great one, STRIP HER DOWN still puts me in the same emotional mood, INSANE, like i said, the best song on earth, GOODBYE CRUEL WORLD, has some of the sickest lyrics i have ever heard, its great, SERIAL KILLER, which in my opinion is the weekest song on the album, i still think its good, but not like the others, SUPERSTAR. this song kinda makes me wonder if scotts insane, very good song, THE SWITCH, a very fast paced song great lyrics, and finally MAKES HER SICK, a very good way to end the album. I have the cold ep ODDITY, and that has a good bunch of songs on it...well, bye this cd, listen to the lyrics, and you WONT be dissonpointed

Im waiting for their next album to come out, which should be later this spring.
