    But just as a couple of cool originals on its debut distinguished Orgy from the Antichrist Superstar cover bands current working the bar circuit, if only slightly, so too do a clutch of strong tunes on this, its second album.

    In spite of cosmetic differences, though, much of Vapor Transmission hints at a gaudy, synth-driven interpretation of Korn.

    Vapor Transmission, the follow-up to Orgy's 1998 debut, Candyass, is as sci-fi, inorganic and over-produced as the title implies. Sometimes the stainless steel robotics work, and sometimes they don't.

    I LOVE THIS CD!!!!!!!!!! Orgy is probably the best group ever!!!!!!! Candyass is still a great cd but Vapor Transmissions is better. I kinda I LOVE THIS CD!!!!!!!!!! Orgy is probably the best group ever!!!!!!! Candyass is still a great cd but Vapor Transmissions is better. I kinda agree with Ashley R, Jay Gordon does NOT sound like Marilyn Manson, the only song where he kinda sounds like Marilyn Manson is Dizzy (which is on Candyass). I love Orgy. I just wish Bobby didnt leave and they would come out with another CD.… Expand

    This is a great CD. Orgy shows that they matured during the 2 years they took to make this record. Candyass is a bit more raw, while Vapor This is a great CD. Orgy shows that they matured during the 2 years they took to make this record. Candyass is a bit more raw, while Vapor Transmission maintains that while sounding a lot more electronic. Every track is good, you can listen to the whole cd without skipping any tracks. Outstanding tracks are "Fiction(Dreams in Digital)", "Eva", "Eyes Radio-Lies", and "Re-Creation".… Expand
