Classic Album Review: Out Of Your Mouth | Draghdad

How many of these bands must we hear before we can stop calling it nü-metal?

This came out in 2004 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):

 


Detuned, vulcanized guitar sludge.

Thumping, pumping hip-hop beats and depth-charge basslines. Aggressively creepy vocals that borrow equally from rap-rock and goth-metal. Enough profanity to tittilate the kiddies without angering their parents. And a predictable headbanging cover of Madonna’s Music. Slam it all together and you have Calgary’s Out Of Your Mouth, a bunch of derivative dullards whose debut disc Draghdad begs the question: How many of these soundalike bands do we have to listen to before we can stop calling it nü-metal?
