"Diet for a New America is completely amazing. It's a great side project from Nikki Sixx of Motley Crue, which are one of my favorite bands. This album is a work of art. It can't be put into one genre of music nor can it really be described. The only way to get the true effect is to buy it and listen to it. This album also features Dave Darling of the Boxing Gandhis, Steve Gibb, son of Barry Gibb, and session drummer Bucket Baker. The album opens with Don't Laugh (You Might Be Next). It features Dave on vocals like most of the album and the song could be described somewhat as techno rock. El Paso is follows. It is a poem read by Nikki over another techno hip hop beat. Don't let the spoken word part scare you, this song is fantastic and the words are amazing. The next song and first single is Piece of Candy. It is probably the most radio ready song. It is a mellow rock song. It is really good. Shopping Cart Jesus starts with a distorted bass intro, before kicking into a heavy techno beat. Queer is the next song, it is very catchy lyricly and musically. The first song to surface from this project Song to Slit you Wrist By is next. It stays within the same style of the album except this is a lot more techno. Stormy is a song written about Nikki's son. This is also more commercial than the rest of the album. It's like a mid tempo techno ballad. Killing Joke is another uptempo techno influenced song. All of My Heroes are Dead is a slow moody song. It is probably my least favorite track on the record. Alone Again (Naturally) is a great song. It is a rap influenced mellow rock song. It is a really good track. The album closes with Who We Are. This song is really heavy. Not only is there heavy guitar but there is a really heavy techno rap beat, this song is somewhat reminicent of Tommy Lee's Methods of Mayhem album. This album is amazing but it's not reccommended to anyone without an open mind about music. 58 is a great band it's just a shame that radio didn't pick up on this album because I think it would have been really popular on alternative radio."

More of this!!

"This is a great CD!! It's like nothing you've ever heard before, and then again, not like this anyway. The sound got this leand back feel to it, and the lyrics are great.Get this CD! You won't be sorry!"

This is NOT Motley Crue - which is why I bought it!!

"Don't get me wrong, Motley Crue is the reason why I became a musician. This CD is completely different, though - NIN meets Everlast, may somewhat describe the type of music "58" plays - a definite plus. Each track is unique - another plus. So why only 4 out of 5? "Alone Again, Naturally" was/is just not a track I find enjoyable. It is interesting for the first 47.5 seconds, then it's "O.K., that's enought..." and go to the next song. Kudos to "58" for a truly unique venture - I hope to see/hear more of "58" in the near future."
