Three members of this quartet are star soldiers of the Nineties alt-rock wars, back from extended furlough. In Stone Temple Pilots, the DeLeo brothers -- guitarist Dean and bassist Robert -- were responsible for a lot of the Seventies classicism and pop- song sense in that band's bang. Singer Richard Patrick did time in Nine Inch Nails before starting Filter. But what looks on paper like a gene-splice supergroup, Audioslave part deux, sounds much better than that on this debut, produced by Alice Cooper/Pink Floyd vet Bob Ezrin with the right mix of sandpaper and sheen. The DeLeos were an underrated team in their old band's heyday, unusually melodic players and writers in the era of the superriff, and it's hard not to hear their STP touch in the guitar-orchestra punch and turnaround hooks in "It Doesn't Seem to Matter" and "Generation." Patrick is a less idiosyncratic singer than STP's Scott Weiland, cleaner in tone, more on the note. That is not a bad thing. In the droning harmonies of "Non Stop," Patrick sounds like a peculiar but nifty mix of Layne Staley and the Humble Pie-era Peter Frampton.

Richard Patrick back in ’94 till about 2002 shared the stage along with Dean and Robert DeLeo of Stone Temple Pilots fame. Patrick asked the brothers to help out with the next Filter album and they took their collaboration a step further, forming Army of Anyone along with drummer Ray Luzier. The music is breathtaking
alternative hard rock with the signature driving rhythms of Filter and the scope of melody that Stone Temple Pilots was known for. Produced by Bob Ezrin (Jane’s Addiction, Kiss, Pink Floyd), their self-titled debut is an intrinsic LP filled to the brim with bubbly harmonies, hard-edged guitars that forge a pack with the melody gods, and perfect pop hooks. Our dear Billboard charts best prepare themselves for this juggernaut. - J-Sin

Most super-groups are super-disappointments. Fans hope that a new super-group will be greater than the sum of their parts, but normally have to settle for something good... but not quite as good as any of the members ́ previous bands. Well, Army of Anyone is one super-group that does not disappoint. Army of Anyone is not Filter, and it is not Stone Temple Pilots, although the songs on this album pull elements from both bands. Army of Anyone is a band in its own right, no small accomplishment for a super-group whose members come from such distinctive bands. This is not, as
some may rightly fear given the history of super-groups, Richard Patrick singing Filter melodies over the DeLeo brothers ́ STP riffs. This band is even more cohesive on their debut album than Audioslave was on theirs. This is an album full of memorable melodies and solid hooks. The music is rich and intelligently written. The ballads will sweep you off your feet, and even the heaviest of the rockers show surprising depth. This is the kind of album that won ́t leave your CD player for quite some time.
