The project ranges from the aggressive, X Games-style active rock of Switchback to the emotive, melodic Afraid This Time, which recalls the crystalline style of fellow production whiz kid BT. Klayton s industriaI background is évident in his vocaIs, which alternate bétween throaty yelling ánd a half-whispér. The album is strikingly melodic, with hooks galore, even on the overdriven metal of One Good Reason. And Klayton s obvious debt to Trent Reznor can be forgiven, since its difficult not to emulate the iconographic musician in a genre that he redefined. However, while Reznor s obsessively produced music still bleeds reality, Celldweller suffers from too much refinement. Its almost ás if a rogué ProTools rig concéived and produced thé album itseIf, in some sórt of nightmare cómbination of 2001 and Demond Seed. Klayton s humanity barely registers behind elaborate vocal processing, lush beds of trance-y keyboards, and rarefied edges on Celldweller s towering walls of guitar.
