With Limp Bizkit's claim to fame it was a matter of time for others to arise from the underground to pour from the same musical melting-pot. 40DT is such a band with the same looks and musical endeavors though I doubt if they're doing it to surf along Limp's slipstream. The first song sets the tone for the rest of the album. Feel The Funk has funky parts varied by heavier guitarwork. It's groovy and the rapping vocals fit the music well. Interesting on the heavier side of this album is There's Something Out There while there's a guest role for hiphop artist John Reuben on the mellow track Extra Terrestrial. The last two songs on the album and the bonus track are quite out of line. The bonus track for example, is like an attempt to sound like Stryper. Forty Day Tempted is a very nice debut though the band should work on their own musical identity.

HM Magazine #86Reviewed by The Kern County KidMy oh my! Has Rowe Prod. changed! Formerly a metal-only label, this band shatters that notion, but they do it with hard 'n' heavy power. Rapcore is in da house! Leaning heavy on its hip-hop influence, these place lots of interesting ingredients in the mix. The clean 311 vocal sound is present, there's some scratching, and there's some run of the mill guitar tones (let's be honest). While I'm not…Dead Zine 2000Reviewed by SORGThe biggest surprise about this cd is that it was put out by a new label that just happens to be a "sub-label" division of Rowe Productions, who are known primarily for their involvement in the metal scene. Well, metal this isn't. Rap-core this is! The music on here will appeal strongly to fans of bands like P.O.D. and Limp Bizkit with its groove heavy guitars and hip-hop beats. Overall this cd…Dead Zine 2000Reviewed by the ProjectOK I don't know how to say it any easier, but 40dt's self-titled debut was very hard for me to take. In other words, it sucked don't buy it. I couldn't grasp the sound this band was trying to cross. The guitars were very urban (hip-hop/bluesy) to alternative. I could move to this, but I could only listen to about the first fifteen seconds before throwing a conniption, sorry 40dt. I hope you guys…Similar sounding releases
