Up The Dose (Skrape Album)
''Up the Dose'' is the second and final album by the five-piece Orlando metal group Skrape. It was released on January 13, 2004, after initially being scheduled for a September 2003 release. Reception Allmusic's Johnny Loftus gave the album two and a half stars, stating that it tries to "build fully on the promise of "Goodbye" and "Kill Control" from 2001's ''New Killer America'', tracks that cracked the nu-metal mold with stratospheric vocals from Billy Keeton and slight twinges of Deftones psychedelics." He praised the song "Syrup", calling it an "atmospheric later-album track that leaves plenty of empty space around its spidery guitars and plodding percussion, capitalizing the chorus when it finally lurches into gear.
