 RIB comes of age.... November 12, 2006
After hearing a song from RIB recently, I found and purchased Damaged and immediately was floored. Coming from a background of metal RIB was my first Goth/Industrial/Dance crossover album and since has set the mark by which I measure all other albums. The mix of aggression and beauty is something most other artists in the genre can only wish for. I quickly went out and bought Shrieks but was fairly disappointed with it. It seemed as if Romell's songwriting skills have matured and he now has the knack for immediately hooking the listener and not releasing them! There really isn't a standout track on this album--the whole thing is incredible. If you are looking for something with a driving beat that doesn't ever get monotonous, PLEASE do yourself a favor and pick up Damaged!!!
 Nowhere near as good as Sacrificed June 15, 2005

I bought this album the day it came out and I have listened to it over the last two years. Well, I have to say that this album is not as appealing as Sacrificed, which had more of an organic sound to it with the guitars and beats and such. To me Damaged is almost too techno for me. I loved Razed In Black for the heavy guitars, the angry vocals, and the dark evil lyrics. Damaged is more tame in terms of the music style it portrays, even the guitars sound like a keyboard effect, and there is very few on here. He definitley sings more on this release and is way more melodic, and mellow and dare I say...more accessible. But I'm not mad that the album is this way. Romell is a D.J. above all and his first love is obviously electronica, which makes this albums programming stellar. The only reason that I am disappointed in the end is that I wanted another heavy album and this album is not heavy, unless you count the non-stop bass drum. Even Shrieks, Laments, and Anguished Cries is better than Damaged, and I think that album was pretty boring too. I am not a fan of straight up techno, which is what most of this album is, so it will collect more dust than all my other cds thats for sure. Stick with Sacrificed...its flawless and the only one you need. Remember, this is just a personal opinion....if you like techno I do totally recommend this.

RiB was a welcome discovery for me. I was trying to find something less like NIN and the other (what I call) "pop" industrial groups out there. I wanted something faster, a little more dance-ish. RiB delivered.
The album revs-up slowly enough that you can, quite literally, work-out to it (and I have, on occasion). The BPMs hover in the vicinity of 120 (bottoms-out at 90 and top-ends at near 160, near as I can figure), the drum sequences are masterfully done, and all the elements blend to make a superb listening experience.
So why the four stars? Profanity. For some people it's no big deal, but it bugs me to no end; especially in my music. RiB could've nailed down five stars if it weren't for the bad language. I'm tempted to go song-by-song, but that's overkill.
If you're looking for "industrial" that's going to have a good, strong dance beat and enough melody to separate it from speed-metal, then RiB is your band.
You must buy this album or i will kill you! March 27, 2005

This album is fantastic. I would play this album over, and over again until its so old, i would make a hooker's fanny look unused. Anyhow its a must have album and if you don't buy this album, well, huh, you must have the I.Q. of a carrot!!
The best industrial album of 2003 October 17, 2004

Razed in black have always taken a bit of a different approach to industrial music. They used to be a little on the harsh side, with crunchy speed-metal style guitars and lots of screeching bleeping synth noises that kind of layered and formed a backdrop. The beats have always been fabulous and the lyrics, though quite disturbing, are intelligent and poetic. One of the most innovative bands to come into the electro scene in years. Then along comes Damaged. This is a little more on the poppy side of things, but only because the production quality is much better than on previous albums. You can hear the influence of the multitude of different groups in the genre that helped write and produce this album. The beats are infectious, the lyrics are tantilizing. This is a club-rave frenzy in a box. I have never heard anything quite like it and expect I never will again, unless R.I.B out-do themselves whith their NEXT album. A must have for anyone who likes Dance electronica/ industrial/ trance and the like. The remix disc is also pretty good, though I like most of the originals better, the remixes are different enough to make the second cd an entity of its own.
