Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

The Amalgamut, the third album from Filter, finds them deep in the process of refining their bleak industrial rock design. Frontman Richard Patrick was part of the touring incarnation of Nine Inch Nails back in the early 1990s, but gave it all up to perform his own brand of mildly controversial schlock-rock. Seven years on, The Amalgamut finds Filter a much slicker beast, polished up with the latest studio tricks and touting a fresh, mainstream-friendly songwriting nous that points the way forward, but never quite delivers in full. You’ve got to respect the way that "American Cliché" and "The Only Way (Is the Wrong Way)" can take carbon-black rage and meld it into chrome-smooth alternative pop songs. The trouble is, all too often, Filter successfully cop the glossy stadium-rock sound and sound-of-the-future production techniques, but forget to throw in the populist hooks to keep anyone interested. "Columind" is rage of the most sterile, impotent kind, while the drippy "The Missing" breaks out the acoustic guitars for a quiet moment that falls dismally flat. Why anyone needs an album like The Amalgamut while similar groups of the calibre of Radiohead and Tool exist is, frankly, something of a mystery. --Louis Pattison


CD Description

'The Amalgamut' is the follow up to Filter's second album 'Title Of Record' which was released in 1999. It is more diverse than their previous work, combining reflective acoustic songs, with abrassive, high-impact, hook filled anthems. A fusion of hard-edged rock, industrial and electronica, with influences of Nine Inch Nails. The first single from the album 'Where Do We Go From Here', is included.

3.0 out of 5 stars Filter with filler..., 16 Aug 2002
Filter have a habit of producing a handful of good catchy tracks and then filling out the rest of the album with songs that don't really measure up. This album is no exception - there are some really rocking tunes but they share the cd with other tracks which just sound 'samey'. Not a bad album, but could be better with a little more effort.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fab Filter, 7 Aug 2002
By A Customer
Having just bought this album and already having their last album, I was very pleased with it. The songs have great guitar riffs and the soon to be released track "Where do we go from here" was execellent. All the songs had gritty power to them. I can't wait for future releases from such a talented back as Filter.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great follow-up to 'Title of Record'., 8 Aug 2002
By Astolath (Kent, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
The strangely titled 'Amalgamut' sounds like a natural progression from Filter's last album, 'Title of Record'. It follows the format of it's predecessor with it's structured forms of multi-layered and heavy songs, embellished with stupifying melodies and beautiful anguish laden lyrics. People often mention frontman, Richard Patrick's past membership of NIN. Where Trent Reznor seems to have disappeared up his own orifice creatively, Patrick has shrugged off his industrial roots, blossomed and managed to produce some of the best rock music of recent times.
