If you haven't heard a song from Otep beforehand, I suggest you do. Believe me, it's all good stuff.
Their latest album brings them at their best. 'Smash the Control Machine' is definitely a step back to their first album brilliance. Otep Shamaya's vocals can range from Heavenly soft to deep growls. She can completely annihilate your senses with her screams. It's not unusual to hear these variations all in one song.
The track that really stood out for me was 'Sweet Tooth', which has a great atmosphere and would have you replaying the song in no time. Otep plays a very unique sound. I honestly haven't come across a band who is that original and diverse with their music.
Their new single 'Smash the Control Machine' is very political and shows their variety in songs.
If you hear one album this month, make it this one. It really is not an album to be missed.
To sum 'Smash the Control Machine' with one word I would say: Unstoppable.
