Filter – Amalgamut

Artist: Filter

Title: Amalgamut

Label: Reprise

Rating: 5.5/10

Filter. Third record. The Amalgamut is singer/songwriter Richard Patrick’s tribute to America.

Now hear this:
“Where Do We Go From Here” – A good statement on our world as well as question of what comes next.
“World Today” – Very off center and that is what is great about it.

Listen once:
“You Walk Away” and “American Cliché” – They rock hard, but that is really all they do.
“The Only Way” and “God Damn Me” – This is interesting, just not great.
“So I Quit” – Good clean melody. But I could go with out listening to Patrick kill himself over letting out the wailing chorus.
