I would suggest downloading the songs you like and not buying the whole disc Apr 06, 2009
I love Prong but this one just doesn't quite live up to previous efforts. Scorpio Rising has its moments but you may find yourself skipping some songs and doesn't have that solid beginning to end listening ability such as Cleansing. This is definitely one of those pick and clean discs where you download a few favorites.
Surprisingly GOOD Sep 11, 2006
I was wary about buying this cd when I first saw it at Bestbuy, but after purchasing it, I was more than pleasantly surprised. I would like to take this oppurtunity to address "S.Walden", who obviously hasn't listened to Prong as long as I have. Tommy Victor has always been the heart & soul of this band, even though Ted Parsons and Mike Kirkland(the ORIGINAL members...) are gone, I have to hand it to Tommy Victor for pushing forward and staying true to his "sound". This album sounds MUCH more fresh, and it punches you in the face from the beginning and doesn't let go of your throat until the end...by that time? You're taken in. Highlight tracks on this album are, "All Knowing Force", "Inner Truth", and "Out Of This Realm". Sounds to me as if Tommy is taking Prong more or less back to it's roots.
 Prong is on fire Sep 10, 2006
New sounds that cut the edge. Nothing is rehashed here. How anyone could say this album is bad just tells me they've got a very narrow view of what they think good music is and are just living in the past. Furthermore, anyone connecting Prong to nu-metal is simply completely out of touch with any uderstanding of music genre. Good grief. You must be kidding.
It's innovative, uncomprimising and true to the Prong sound. Tommy's programming work is supreme. Prong continues to blaze their own trail and the new recruits fit right in with synergy. Worth eight years wait.
Prong...Stay together gentlemen, and your fans look very much forward to your next CD.
Great work!

Prong being born again Aug 04, 2006
Reminds of the good old Prong, very well done Tommy Victor !
Everything is great, except the lack of heavy drums. The only thing I don't like completely. Therefore 4 stars. Else, everything's great. Love the songs.
Go check em live !
P.S.: I don't understand people writing blurry things like Prong being nu-metal. Apparently those people are part of the nu-metal generation (God, I hate this word nu-metal).
On this record, the great quality of the underrated and genius PRONG shines again, good "comeback".

It's good to hear from Tommy and the crew again Jun 25, 2006
Ok, lets face it, prong had dissappeared of the face of the earth for 8 years, with tommy victor doing many things (in the studio, playing with danzig, now with ministry). I have loved these guys since "beg to differ" and "prove you wrong". This album is still has the fast mechanical metal edge that prong had years ago. Not quite as polished as Clensing (still my favorite prong album), more like rude awakening. I have the import version of scorpio rising with a few of the tracks mis-listed on the liner notes (fyi for those of you paying attention).
I saw these guys on 100% live tour at a small venue, awsome there, and good preparation for this album. The mixing and production went together well here. Buy the Vault DVD if you want to see the tour in promotion for this album. This band has had so much influence on todays "nu metal" bands, and their time has come again. I like all of the tracks on here, pick it up today.
