THROUGH THE EYES

'''Through the Eyes''' is the major label debut album of nu metal group Flaw. It was released in 2001 on Universal Records.
With its furiously crushing chorus, "Payback" would serve as the album's first single in summer 2001 and was backed by a music video. The dark and eerie "Whole" followed as a second release, and interestingly enough, featured vocalist Chris Volz in a vastly different look than the previous video. Both singles boasted unique and complex opening bass lines.
''Through the Eyes'' features a combination of clean vocals and screaming as well as highly distorted and melodic guitar work. Songs such as "Get Up Again" and "Out of Whack" focus primarily on aggressive melodies while "My Letter" and "Best I am" could perhaps be considered power ballads. Themes of angst and rage are found throughout the album and are quite common in the nu metal genre; however, many of the songs on ''Through the Eyes'' also express hope and pride in one's self. Lyrics center around topics such as the suicide of Volz's mother. "Whole," in particular, focuses on this.[1][2]
