Start a War is an awesome release from Static-X. I appreciate how it kept the melodic vocals from Shadow Zone. The instrumentals are heavy and catchy, something Static-X has consistently been good at, the production is great, and what I enjoy most is the cool blend of screaming and melodic singing.

In Shadow Zone, Static-X introduces melodic vocals and does a fucking AWESOME job at it. Some examples are So, Invincible, All in Wait, and New Pain. This works really well with Static-X’s heavy, catchy instrumentals, and Wayne Static’s singing style.
In my opinion, this is a big step-up from Machine, which struggled with repetition, like Wisconsin Death Trip. And with Shadow Zone, it feels like the band is learning how to make songs without Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V, which is great!
