The nasty boy quartet from Los Angeles that is Idiot Stare is back with their
second effort since their rebirth from the ashes that were STG. This time out
they have chosen to wholly embrace the guitar Techno fusion that made their
debut album "Blinded" so unique. Of course they still retain a few of their
electro roots, but for the most part "The Hate Cage" is a collection of fast
paced Techno tracks overlayed with guitars and sardonic vocals. Also included
are a handful of short tracks title 'Ebronics' which feature some less than
flattering vocal samples that were left on the band's answering machine.
Unfortunately, while the music is exceeding original and quite unlike most of
the tripe crossover material on the market, it seems to lack any solid hook or
catch to it. As a result, "The Hate Cage" is a collection of seventeen mediocre
tracks that are screaming loudly into a crowd that is steadfastly ignoring them
due to the lack of any standout material.
Idiot Stare is: Chad Bishop, David Ivy, Bruce King, & Alan Premselaar
