JUDAS KISS MAGAZINE - Dec. 2003
From the first minute into this album I was
hooked and increasingly impressed and
curious as to how the rest would sound. The
first track 'Lost inside a maze' throws you
head first into the rocking heavy metal
industrial sound of Blind Passengers fifth
album 'Neosapiens'. The band hails from
Germany and unlike most Germanic bands
their lyrics are sung in English - hurrah,
I can sing along at long last! They have
been compared to the likes of fellow
German band Rammstein, Korn with a bit of
an electro feel and Marilyn Manson. The
comparisons I draw from this would include
the above but maybe with a bit of Ministry,
Front Line Assembly, NIN and Fear Factory
thrown into the mixture. My favourite track
of this album would be track 2 'Insane'
which consists of thumping drums, thrashing
guitars and pounding bass lines but with a
real industrialized dance feel to it, similar
in fact to NIN's track 'wish' which fuckin
rocks quite frankly. Tracks such as 'Shake
the lie' show a different side giving a
heavier version of Depeche Mode or possibly
Gary Numan with vocals having a more gothier
edge to them throughout the album as opposed
to the usual growlings of similar metal bands
vocals. Tracks 12 & 13 tone down a lot to the
end of the album giving a more mellow,
instrumental feel to the tracks. Track
13 - 'Hall of Pain' has a fantastic Drum
riff of Irish sounding martial marching music,
which is fantastic. Although there are a lot
of metal bands out their all with the same
qualities Blind Passengers are a breath of
fresh air in the now stagnant scene which is
plagued by teenie punk/nu metal bands which
are going nowhere and doing nothing for metal
fans alike holding onto the past of metal
music. This band would do wonders if they
were perhaps released on a larger more 'known'
label to catapult them out into this niche. I
would definitely recommend anyone into the
above bands and scene to get hold of a copy
of this fantastic album. Lets hope we see a
lot more of Blind Passengers in the future,
a band who definitely deserve their place in
metal scene. Militia

METAL HAMMER REVIEW - Dec. 2001
[8 / 10]
Churrmann industronauts who sing in English.
RATED.
If this album had been released on a major label
by a much-hyped American band, chances are it
would be a substantial seller. However it is
being released by a relatively tiny UK
independent label, and Blind Passengers are a
German band, so sadly, "Neosapiens" probably
won't reach as many people as it should.
Unlike fellow Germans Rammstein, Blind Passengers
choose to sing in English, but they do share
with their countrymen the ability to churn out
massive slabs of guitar noise. The addition of
subtle influences from bands such as Marilyn Manson
and Korn give Blind Passengers a very fresh sound
that adds a pronounced nu-metal edge to the
chunky industrial riffing.
"Neosapiens" is proof at last that Germany is
capable of moving out of the Euro-metal ghetto and
producing bands with universal appeal, and for that
merit on its own, this album deserves your
attention.

KERRANG REVIEW - OCTOBER 27th 2001:
KKK
Industrial tinged nu-metal from Germany
Sometimes curiosity should get the better of you.
Blind Passengers hail from Germany and play
nu-metal with an industrial tinge, with a singer
whose vocals pitch between Korn's Jonathan Davis
and Type O's Peter Steele. It's not as bad as
that might sound - far from it.
Despite the fact that this is BP's first offering
available outside of Germany, and there's a
sneaking suspicion that their chosen soundclash
might be a hopeful cash-in on the last of the
downtuned Zetigeist, "Neosapiens" lends enough
style to the polished mix. And whether it's the
Korn-gone-electro of "Lost Inside The Maze" or
the Depeche Mode tantrum of "Shake The Lie" -
the songs stand up to repeated plays.
Curiouser and Curiouser.
