Floridian metal purveyors Nonpoint have grown immensely since their debut, STATEMENT introduced them to the masses in 2000. As MCA's flagship nu-metal act, the quartet made its bones, touring with every significant contemporary heavy band that would have them (including Staind, Linkin Park, and making a serious impact on the legendary Ozzfest touring festival, to name just a few).
The connecting thread that meshes the disc's 12 tracks is summed up simply in the title; DEVELOPMENT. The band's collaborative songwriting craft is tighter, more mature, while maintaining the precious grooves that turned heads with STATEMENT. Taking cues from their rap-metal brethren, Nonpoint have made the jump to melodic singing taking precedence over their initial hip-hop leanings. Vocalist Elias Soriano sounds at times like a sandpapery Maynard James Keenan (Tool). The shotgun syncopation in "Circles" is matched only by it's feverishly catchy chorus. Guitarist Andrew Goldman's thoughtful chordal voicings show that there is truly hope for nu metal, as he reaches far beyond the down-tuned, chugging, single-note unison riffs the genre is notorious for. Clearly, Nonpoint is a band on the rise, and metal fans will only benefit from their continued progression and DEVELOPMENT.
