Details: Product Description Filter's 1995 debut album Short Bus, was a platinum-selling smash, led by "Hey Man, Nice Shot," a major alternative, rock and metal hit. Title Of Record is Filter's much-anticipated followup. Both brutal and emotional, Filter's hard-rockin' rhythms, thick, swirling grooves and inventive noise, and Rich Patrick's vocal roar, come together on Title Of Record in a more diverse-sounding album than its first but one even more powerful. Certified at 1 million units by the RIAA. (2/01) Amazon.ca "Hey Man, Nice Shot" may have been a fluke hit, but Filter's Richard Patrick has spent four years working on the follow-up album, mastering enough sonic variety to ensure that Filter stick around the moshpit. Programmer Brian Liesegang is gone, but Patrick continues on, picking up the slack and yielding nothing. Crowd reaction is impossible to anticipate, but at 70 minutes, Title of Record is an exhaustive collection of hyper-kinetic guitars, subliminal melodies and thunderous dynamics--which is to say, it sports plenty of hard rock aggression, but is firmly rooted in the pop experience that keeps the songs in your head. "It's Gonna Kill Me" has a stalker's vibe in its techno-metal roots, while "Take a Picture" and "Captain Bligh" are radio-friendly unit shifters that suggest that underneath the technology rests a beating, and often bruised, human heart. --Rob O'Connor
