Start a War is the fourth studio album by American industrial metal band Static-X, released in June 2005.
"Start a War is a raging, rollicking good time that hardly ever pauses to catch a breath. Much as Fukuda and Wild are integral parts of the band’s success, however, it’s dynamic frontman Wayne Static (he of the approximately four-foot beard-to-hair-spike span) that steals the show with his acrobatic vocal turns.
Static has a few different vocal styles, any and all of which could appear in any song, in no particular order. There’s the low growl, the more intense medium growl, and the high-pitched screech, all of which could go into full-fledged rhythmic rant mode at any given time. It may not sound like the three vary all that much, but Static has a knack of knowing when to use one of his three growly voices to best effect. Most notably, however, the use of Static’s singing voice is becoming steadily more prevalent. Even better, his singing voice won’t make you cringe! It’s a relatively thin, reedy sound, but in the endearing way that, say, Gary Numan’s voice is reedy and thin, rather than Simple Plan reedy and thin. Since a comparison to Gary Numan couldn’t possibly be a bad thing, Static’s singing actually works in favor of the album.
Even more effective than Static’s singing voice is the band’s sense of humor. The niftiest song on the album might well be “I Want to Fucking Break It”, which starts with a sample of polka music that shows up intermittently to alternate with the thrash of the rest of the song. Hearing Static scream the title in perfect rhythmic synchronization with that little polka motif is truly one of life’s simpler pleasures. Of course, there is a fourth installment of the “Otsego” series that has graced all of the Static-X album (whose only reason for existence seems to be that “Otsego” is the name of the town Static grew up in), this one called “Otsego Amigo”. This title, admittedly, makes me chuckle. Then, there are the bits of unintentional comedy that come with an album such as this, as when Static offers “I’ll be your piece of ass” in the otherwise decent “Just Incase”. All in all, it’s easy to find yourself laughing while listening to Start a War far more than you likely ever thought you would.
Mostly, though, Start a War is about thrashing and breaking shit!" - Pop Matters
