Even after always hearing about Gonemad, and how their music was amazing, it never crossed my mind that they'd actually be that good. I was astonished after hearing their third CD, Planet 9, which I think of as definitely as one of the best releases of the year. It's amazing how this album offers so much quality and pleasure to the listener. Being GoneMad's third album, "Planet 9" provides pretty much everything. The songs, in it's majority, are heavy, but in their own style. Even Nowhere, which guitar riff's are kinda funky, turns out to be a heavy song half way through. Most of the guitar riffs on this album are catchy, which is something I think is really cool. The musicians are very competent, but the person who really amazed me was Craig, the band's singer. It's incredible how his voice fits perfectly into the band's sound. It's important to stress that Gonemad has their own style. I can't really compare them to any other band......maybe Mindset, but it's not totally right. What I mean is, if you're looking for something like Korn, "Planet 9" won't be the record which will satisfy you. Gonemad is something much bigger. Their music is like a virus, it spreads all over your mind, and makes you like them more and more and more everytime you listen to their album. Planet 9 doesn't limit itself to only one way, so if you're not only limited to KoRn's screams and whinings, and want to hear an album in which you will find screamings, singings, rappings and, overall, quality, get this album as soon as possible. I'll try to promote them as much as I can from now on. Really, if you work for any major label and are looking for some band which is able to make to the top, e-mail GoneMad right now and ask for a package. I guarantee you won't regret it.
