iTunes Review
Hollywood Undead perform festival-friendly rapcore in masks, face paint, and other disguises so that the overall result both looks and sounds like a cross between Slipknot and Insane Clown Posse. Also, their music is loud, funny, rebellious, irreverent, lowbrow, and unapologetically obscene where the lyrics are concerned. "Undead" kicks the door open with distorted synthesizers, gargantuan guitars, a big booming rhythm section, melodic screaming, and Beastie Boys influenced rhymes that are ego fueled and peppered with hard claims and a juvenile sense of misogynistic sexuality, all making for a catchy little stew of aural shock value. Though somewhat predictable, "Young" is a standout track, nicely contrasting simplified Eminemesque phrasing with a truly contagious chorus built around some pretty decent singing. The anthemic "City" is the album's main insta-hit with words that paint visions of a dark comic book metropolis being burned by the band in a neo Nero fashion.

by Sap-townOk look, they didnt copy off of anybody with the masks idea. And slipknot DID NOT copy from Mushroomhead! Slipknot came up with the idea of trying to create a gross look to their band originaly, starting by just puttin on large amounts of sick make-up and evolved into wearing masks.
A Phenomenal Debut
by ScarfacePsychosHollywood Undead is my favorite band ever. I have never liked every single song a band has put out until HU. These guys are amazing, they have incredible potential. The first song that got me listening to them was "Black Dahlia". I think it is a very powerful and emotional song and HU conveys their lyrical potential very well in this song. And just because the song "Undead" has riffs from "Crazy Train" doesn't mean they're ripping that song or Ozzy off.
The songs in this albmum are amazing. My favorites would have to be: "Black Dahlia", "Sell Your Soul", "Young", "City", "This Love, This Hate", "No. 5", and "Bottle and a Gun". I love the rest of the songs on the album but these are the songs that really stand out to me. These guys have been pumping music out and I hope that they will never stop, and I'm sure they won't for quite awhile because there is real potential to be had with these guys.
The way they convey themselves is pretty cool I think. I love the masks these guys wear, but then again I am a huge fan of masks, I own quite a bit myself. My favorite mask of the band has to be Da Kurlzz mask. Half of one side of the mask is a happy face, and the other half is a mad frowny face. And to all of you people that have been saying that HU has copied Slipknot: you are so ignorant it isn't even funny. First of all, Slipknot copied Mushroomhead. Slipknot and Mushroomhead hate each other. So before you go spouting off your mouths, learn a few facts.
Also, one of the reasons these guys wear masks is because they would still like to retain anonymity. Sure they do appreciate their fans, but would you really like being chased down by fans ever minute, hour after hour, every single day of your life? No, I didn't think so. So show them some respect.
Now back on point: this album is amazing, you should definitely get it. I hope this helped.
