Album Notes

On their critically acclaimed debut album (co-produced by Mark Alan Miller, Out Out, Metropolis Records) CN2R combine unique vocals and intricate programming with heavy guitars and thunderous beats that look to the future of industrial music while never forgetting the dance floors that support it.

"New England's Collapse into Reason's self-titled debut is the work of an extremely talented band with lots of potential. Opening the proceedings with "Requiem" shows there are no obvious comparisons. Collapse into Reason play metal with electronic influences and none of the angst that today's popular bands rely on. Vocalist Scott Francis proves to be talented enough to give each song their own vibe and his basic style and sound is simply imcomparable. "In Sickness" has a faster thrashy sound and Scott's vocals run the gamut from melody to hushed intensity to more aggressive, yet clean toned. "Disconnected" is as good as anything Sevendust have done and also adds a Faith No More like twist. Not only do you get ten original, top quality songs but also five remixes which it appears Collapse into Reason have spent some time perfecting. Check out what's popular today - the electronic aggression of Linkin Park and Rob Zombie, the classic rock and heartful emotion of Incubus and Default - combine the two, add a dose of innovation and you are somewhere close to Collapse into Reason."

"#37 Collapse into Reason : This post-industrial (bands') sound attacks the senses like a blitzkrieg of sorts, combining melodic vocals with modern industrial guitar work and some highly original programming to make for a very full and invigoratingly fresh sound. The band's 2001 self-titled debut consisted of 15 songs, five of which were remixes, amply demonstrating their 'futuristic' and 'comprehensive' take on modern heavy music."
