Filter is an industrial rock group formed in 1993 by Richard Patrick (former live guitarist for Nine Inch Nails) and Brian Liesegang. Filter’s most distinguishing feature is Richard Patrick’s voice, which can soar to quite a high scream - on just about all songs.
Their first album, Short Bus, was released in 1995. The album was successful, and included the hit single “Hey Man, Nice Shot”. The song was somewhat controversial, as it was seen as capitalizing on the public suicide of Budd Dwyer. Kurt Cobain’s suicide was widely rumored to have inspired the song, but the band refuted this. In 1996, Filter recorded and filmed the video for the song “Jurrassitol”, for The Crow: City of Angels soundtrack. They also released the home video Phenomenology in 1996, which showcased some of the band’s live performances and music videos, as well as an interview with Richard Patrick and Brian Liesegang filmed in New Mexico.
Liesegang left in 1997. In 1998, for The X-Files film soundtrack, Filter recorded a cover of Three Dog Night’s ‘One’. Patrick, along with new collaborator Geno Lenardo, continued on with 1999’s Title Of Record, which moved away from industrial rock somewhat, and produced a modest hit with “Take A Picture” (which was used as a song on the Little Nicky soundtrack). Other singles included “Welcome To The Fold”, “The Best Things” and a collaboration with The Crystal Method called “(Can’t You) Trip Like I Do”. That song was based on one of The Crystal Method’s earlier songs, Trip Like I Do, off their album Vegas, and was recorded for the Spawn soundtrack.

Fades Like A Photograph and happy together sound better than tracks from last album

I agree. Thankfully, judging from Richie's recent studio videos, the songs on the new album sound a lot heavier.

Take a Picture is a great pop song. The new song "Fades Like a Photograph" doesn't quite do it for me though.

rarson wrote:
Take a Picture is an okay song, but kind of boring, derivative, and repetitive. Really, the big problem is how much the radio overplayed it. The story behind the song is much more interesting than the song itself. Definitely not their best song, and certainly not good enough to be played that many times more than their other songs.
