Disillusion sounds like an even more radio friendly version of Slipknot. Actually, I don't know Slipknot well enough to call them that. Let's just call it radio friendly shit, the shit that kids in bondage pants will worship. The beginning of the second track, "Gloria," sounds like the singer of System of a Down trying to talk over a choppy, distorted riff. "Gloria" transforms in a musically confused track of violin interludes and pitch changes that don't seem to fit at all. The press sheet sounds like it's mocking Disillusion: "One godly chorus here, one brutal riff there, and off we go with the next hook. What a joy! What a fire!" The dudes at Metal Blade who come up with these descriptions have to be joking. All of the vocals sound intentionally lo-fi - an attempt at increased edginess? - and incredibly bad. You might hear these guys on the radio and laugh a little bit. I feel rather disillusioned after listening to Gloria.
