Fred Durst noticed Cold on the local scene in their hometown Jacksonville. Fred invited the band to record a demo and pass the recording to producer Ross Robinson who take them over and get them a deal with A&M Records. At the bottom line, Cold had two gold-albums and has sold over one million records. They break up in 2006, but reunited two years later and “Superfiction” is their first new album since 2005’s “A Different Kind of Pain”.
12 tracks, kind of mediocre post-grunge/alternative rock mixture, they have a very few better moments, a couple of catchy riffs and some good choruses, but still, it’s thin for 2011 and not quite exciting generally speaking.
Cold tried a marriage between the sounds and approaches Stone Temple Pilots and Godsmack, but the results is a gloomy, modern, but pretty boring rock/metal with grunge after-taste. The opening “Wicked World” and the closing “So Long June” are probably the best moments of “Cold”, but what’s left in between it’s forgettable.
