This came out in 2000 — or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
More like Roach Against the Machine.
This SoCal foursome are just another one of the endless plague of rap-metal outfits that have multiplied like vermin and come crawling out of the woodwork in the past couple of years. And just as you can’t tell one roach from another, it’s tough to discern these guys from their multitudinous brethren. Grinding, metallic guitars? Check. Screeching leads? Check. Thundering hip-hop drums? Check. Gruffly barked rap vocals? Check. Soaring, Faith No More-style choruses? Check. Sure, on Infest — their major-label debut after four indie albums — these guys can hit the marks as well as any other rapcore outfit. That doesn’t mean they don’t deserve to get squished.
