"I love Godhead, and I love how original they sound. Nothingness, Power Tool Stigmata, and 2000 Years of Human Error all displayed their unique approach to industrial and metal. All three albums had their distinct sound and style, but they all blended the electronic sounds and samples with metal guitar. Sadly, with Evovler, they seem to almost leave behind their industrial roots and opt for a more straightforward metal album. I don't feel that Jason's vocals suit this style, either. On past albums his voice seemed perfect for every song, but he does not have a purely metal singing voice. I understand that they wanted a stripped down album in order for them to all play the song exactly as it sounds live. Or their attempts at commercial success after years of sounding innovative without much recognition, and their constant moves from one label to another. I just wish they wouldn't have sacrificed some of their original sound in the process."
