Escape from Cape Coma


Escape from Cape Coma is the only studio album by American nu metal band Twisted Method. It was released on July 15, 2003 through MCA Records. It was the label's final release, following its absorption into Geffen Records a month prior.

Reception

Escape from Cape Coma received polarized reviews from critics.
Hit Parader praised Twisted Method's flux of energy on the album, which was described as "coil like a striking cobra and blast like a Tomahawk missile", and praised the band for not copying the "same-old sounds" of "today's hard rock scene". Dave Doray of IGN was highly positive of the album and awarded it an "Editors' Choice Award". While he praised the album's "sonic intensity" and Derrick Tribbett's diverse vocal performances, he noted that the album's swearing and "full-tilt" energy was, at points, excessive.
Writing for Allmusic, Johnny Loftus criticised Escape from Cape Coma's "heavily treated production" and excessive swearing, and felt that the album and its aggressive outlook was formulaic and ingenuine. ThePRP's Jason Doe was heavily critical of the album, labelling it a "musical abortion" and called it "an album for listeners who desire anthemic, brainless hard rock that they can sing-a-long to without even remotely thinking; An album that rebels against absolutely nothing, but does so in such a manner that you almost believe Twisted Method actually have a purpose."
