Thousand Foot Krutch's debut album Set It Off is a great CD. It is another renaissance disk. One minute you think you're listening to Limp Bizkit or Rage Against the Machine, the next minute you're listening to Blink 182 or Lit. The band has some great rap, phenomenal rap. I love it to death. They have that Limp Bizkit funk. The media would just label this band as another Indie band. True, they are, but what's the deal with the rap?
I was listening to my favorite song "Puppet" and I was pretty much going crazy with excitement cause it sounds too much like Limp Bizkit. Then several songs later the punk fan in me went nuts to hear rap turn to post pop-punk. The message is great for those who think there is nothing left to live for.
I don't usually like rap, but this made an exception. It was so quick it made you like it. This Indie/rap/rock band sounds a ton like the bands stated above, and in "Puppet" the vocals sound like the singer from Korn. Krutch really expressed a lot from this disk. They show examples of how God can help you out. The band really tried hard to make a disk that many can enjoy and I did. Sure the punk isn't for everyone, and it is radio music, but I liked it.
Another song I liked was "Superfly" which talks about guys/girls who are liars trying to snag the wrong things. The rap is quick so you will need the lyric sheet to figure the words but you shouldn't have much trouble. If I were you I would give it a listen at a local bookstore just to see if you can handle the punk. The other stuff is off the hook, I give this one an 8.5. If you like it buy it! It might "Set you Off"
8.5/10

The Phantom Tollbooth 2005Reviewed by Olin JenkinsI never heard the initial 1999 release of Set It Off by Thousand Foot Krutch (TFK). While I'm sorta kicking myself that I didn't experience it the first time around, the success of Phenomenon, the band's second full-length project, gave the band and Tooth & Nail the impetus to re-release Set It Off, alongside the band's first EP, That's What People Do, along with a brand new song, "Everyone Like…HM Magazine #91Reviewed by Mike D. FrostThere are a lot of bands out right now that are trying to ride on the success of Durst and Co., but the majority of it just doesn't work. Most just seems forced in order to try and capitalize on the metal-rap revolution, but not so with the Canucks in Thousand Foot Krutch. Their songs don't seem forced or imposed at all. The majority of the album is made up of really hard hitting songs, like…Similar sounding releases
