From the band name to the album title of their dozen-song debut, it's clear Dope don't shy away from controversy. In fact, the quintet embraces discord with songs like "America the Pitiful" and "Pig Society" that posit the band as a more angry and political (if less dramatic and provocative) Marilyn Manson. Modern metal melds with techno touches on the majority of the carefully wrought songs of Edsel Dope, who, along with real-life brother Simon Dope, formed the band. While they're not all that incendiary (though they deserve a parental-advisory sticker), Dope have nonetheless made a powerful debut. From the irresistible kick of "Sick" to the Ministry-meets-Rob Zombie "One Fix," to vocal effects on the cool groove of "Kimberley's Ghost," the album fits right into the Ozzfest Nation's aggro consciousness. --Katherine Turman

The Definitive Review.......2003-11-10

OK, I actually purchased this album several years ago, but recently I decided to go back and read the reviews to figure out what others thought of what I consider to be one of the last real rock bands. I must say I was shocked by some of the responses given. I must have read the word rip-off atleast 10 times, and all I have to say to that is this: What band these days isn't, atleast in some form, a rip-off of another band? This band just happens to pull it off better than most I have heard in the past. I also believe that by putting their own twist on the style that they define themselves as one of the best bands to emerge during the late 90's. Yeah, you might say that raging against the system is nothing more than a cliche now, but atleast they make it sound good. I went on to read one review where it was said that the lead singers voice was "terrible." This to me just says that America has gotten so far into a mainstream perspective that it can't handle when someone comes out and changes things up a bit. I'll get off my soapbox, but all in all this is one hell of an album. If you find yourself getting tired of the regurgitated garbage coming from bands like Limp Bizkit and Korn, you might want to pick this up and give it a listen. I consider it to be a ray of light in hoping that maybe actual metal isn't quite dead.

Not ["everything sucks"] (just this album).......2000-10-13

Oh boy... another political nu-metal band. Just what the world needs. With horrendously clichéd song titles like "Pig Nation," and "America the Pitiful," it surprises me that anyone takes these guys seriously at all. Strip away their "political" notions, and dope is just another generic metal band. Not very hard, with boring, down tuned guitars, and an absolutely TERRIBLE lead singer. It sounds like the guy got picked on in high school and listened to way too much Marilyn Mansion. Akin to a bastardized hybrid of Rage Against the Machine (the politics), White Zombie (industrial crunch), and (of course) Mr. Mansion, dope leaves nothing to the imagination, and no reason to buy this piece of garbage. If you want some real politically charged metal, check out One Minute Silence, System of a Down, Downset, and of course, RATM.

melodic,indusrial metal.......2000-10-05

I would definately not say this is a genre defining album.It is basically the average industrial metal album.Yet;the main aspect of this album,that keeps me listening to the disc,is the instant melodies and hard hitting grooves.In my opnion,it actually does not matter,whether the music i listen to is genre defining or not(and trust me this disc is not),i enjoy music with enjoyable grooves and melodies.Dope's:"felons and Revolutionaries",combines the furious industrial metal of classic white zombie,with instant sugary guitar hooks,of many alternative rock bands operating on the scene today.The lyrics are somwehat anti establishment and should appeal to teenagers that do not have jobs,or have a dislike for school and authority. Dope basically,are angry so called-drug dealers that hate the system for personal reasons and enjoy letting the entire world know about this.I am not saying that their message is negative,i'm just implying that it is a tad cliched.Well,to conclude;the music makes up for this slacker like rage.If you enjoy your industrial metal brutal yet melodic at the same exact time,in a present moment(with a little rapcore rantings)then purchase Dope's:"felons and revolutionaries"from amazon.com now!

complete and utter garbage.......2000-10-01

this band is NOT METAL! it is bad music for posers only. if you wat real metal buy some morbid angel, nile, or slayer. this cd isnt worth anything. throw this cd away. it sounds BAD.

Dope is cool.......2000-09-16

Dope is a cool band. I heard of them through my friend. It is really cool, his uncle is actually the drummer for the band! When he told me about them, I downloaded a song from them on mp3. Now I have a couple, and I want the album.
