Reviews Customer Reviews for Life      hmmm....      Rating:      All of the people that are disappointed with this record because it doesn't match up to their first, I just have one question..."What were you expecting?" Their first album was a blatent rip off of all the NU-Metal bands to emerge from the depths of garbage cans nationwide way before Dope ever came out. They suck, and this release is no better, it sucks. These guys have no talent. The only reason they got a record deal is because they play music that appeals to our throw away society of MTV clones and zombies. Its really sad and pathetic. These guys are no different than a boy band, in fact they are a boy band with instruments who cannot play to save their lives from the demons of real ROCK. Go buy an Opeth album or even Nile if you want REAL metal,a nd bypass this garbage, please, please PLEASE!     Customer Reviews for Life Cd      Wretched.      Rating:      I saw these clowns play in support of this album (I forget who they opened for, someone equally terrible). This band is a joke, go to [...] and check out some of their guitar tabs, a chimpanzee in some Hot Topic gear could play these tunes. Sucky mallrat numetal-poop. At least they don't suck as much as their pals Murderdolls/Wednesday 13. I'd give them a zero if I could. When people complain about crappy nu-metal, Dope should be the first act they think of. Derivative, tired, cliched, all these adjectives are an understatement. If these guys spent as much time on their music as they do their clothes and hair, they might have something. I can think of a 100 other bands in this genre more deserving of your money...Bozo Porno Circus for one, they blow these guys away. Editorial Reviews for Life Audio Cd      Amazon.com      The second album from brothers Simon and Edsel "Dope" and their ever- changing lineup is a breath of fresh air. While the New York-based sextet fits loosely into the nu metal category, Dope take more from basic rock & roll structures and less from faux-aggro rap-rock than many of their brethren. In fact, the catchy first single, "Now or Never," boasts an almost classic-rock vibe, and the entire record is more rock and less "shock" than their decent debut, Felons and Revolutionaries. Though at times Edsel has a Marilyn Manson inflection to his voice, and on songs like "Stop" there are hints of White Zombie-influenced electronic riff-rock, the melody lines and vocals make most of Life's songs timeless and accessible, while still maintaining a dark, angry and Gen-Y- leaning appeal. Many of Life's 13 cuts, including "What About" and "Slipping Away" are basic, dramatic, and cool, Dope proving themselves no slaves to rock/metal fashion while still existing within their modern musical milieu. --Katherine Turman
