Mushroomhead

The band was put together in the early ninety's. There has a been an on going battle between Slipknot and Mushroomhead since the early years about who started the whole wearing the masks idea the two groups decided to just drop it. After going threw many line up changes Mushroomhead let out their first album it was self titled it had some pretty decent songs such as " 43" and " Mommy ". The band was a bit different then most groups because they had two singers Jeffrey Nothing as the lighter and cleaner vocals and Jmann as the heavier vocals with a kind of rap built into it. Jmann's vocals were pretty awesome to me and with the mix of Jeffrey's clean vocals and the heavy to soft music made by the rest of the band it was very cool and sounded amazing. Over the next 6 years the band produced four more albums with on going line up changes with only the keyboards, bass and vocals staying the same they managed to make some pretty amazing music with songs like "These Filthy Hands", " Kill Tomorrow" and their most commonly known song " Solitaire Unraveling". Then in 2004 vocalist Jmann decided to leave to take care of his father and was replaced by Waylon who is a very good vocalist but in my opinion he doesn't compare to Jmann and after he left the band started to suck. The band has made two albums with the new singer the first titled "Savior Sorrow" it was a pretty good album but nothing compared to the previews stuff and then in 2010 the band released another album called "Beautiful Story's For Ugly Children" it has about 3 pretty good songs the rest are just alright. I don't really have that much interest in the band anymore unless they come out with a new amazing album anytime soon.
