I have always liked CKY. Although not as heavy as there first CD, this is more detailed and refined. It has great catchy tunes with awesome guitar punch lines. I think the lyrics are expertly crafted, the way they are thrown together is great. It's like watching a perfect movie where the plot never dulls, and the dialogue never gets cheesy. Nice hard hitting downstroking and throaty lead guitaring. Whatever. Rock on. 5 stars

In the current state of the music industry few true rock bands still remain. Now more than ever it seems that the state of rock music has been getting progressively worse and worse with each passing year. An alarming number of bands seem to be concerned with sacrificing their integrity in favor of increasing record sales. However, CKY has always been a band that has never sacrificed their integrity and has always stayed true to themselves no matter the cost. Their main goal in the span of their astonishing career is to provide rock music listeners with something refresing and different as an alternative to what they are being fed each day by the media and their sophmore album "Infiltrate.Destroy.Rebuild" is a fine place to start. While the current state of the music industry may not undergo a complete and radical change due to CKY and their music, they are certainly taking steps in the right direction with this album.

Just like any trademark CKY album before it IDR stays true to form an opens up with one of the albums most intense and powerful tracks "Escape From Hellview". The opening riff to this song is one that just kicks you in the face an istantly sets the tone for the remainder of the album. the interplay between guitarists Deron Miller and Chad Ginsburg is flawless and Millers eerie and infectious lyrics of being persued by the deviant/twisted residents of Hellview..and making it out alive, is nothing short of jaw dropping brilliance. The next track is the instantly familiar and catchy 1st single from the album "Flesh Into Gear". this song is the most recognized track from the album and its easy to see why. The subject matter is on a subject that is familiar to anyone can relate too (accomplishing your goals in life without the thought of consequence) Deron's bridge riff in the middle of the song is also my favorite part of the entire cd, and the drumming of Jess Margera is also played with solid technique. great choice for a single. The 3rd song "Sink Into The Underground" opens up with a very quick drum intro by Jess Margera which is instantly followed by yet another instantly catchy guitar riff by Deron Miller. The lyrics deal with a person trying to cope with something that takes complete control over them. The bass is very notable during this song as is the haunting effects of the vocals of Deron Miller. Jess Margera and Chad Ginsburg also skillfully interplay during this song with stellar musicianship. The 4th song is the 2nd single from the album, and fan favorite "Attached At The Hip". With easy to relate to cleverly written lyrics about a clingly friend who will not leave you have time to yourself and CKYS signature catchy/original riffing accompanied with solid rhythmic drumming, nothing stops this song from easily becoming one of the main highlist of the album. Up next is unfortunately one of IDR's most underrated songs "Frenetic Amnesic". This song in my opinion does NOT deserve the underrated reputation that it has been given. The intro to this song is interesting, intriguing and very different which ultimately sucks you in craving to hear more. Moogs can be heard throughtout accompaning the riffs which cause the song to be an original and different sounding masterpiece, see for yourself. "Shock and Terror" is up next and it is one of my personal favorites, flawless from beginning to end. The opening guitar riff is extremely refreshing with an amazing groove with more great moog playing right by its side. The lyrics are some of Derons most focused and best written work. They tell the disturbing tale of a bored extremeist who is tired of living by the standards of what society thinks is acceptable. The quality in which Chad Ginsburg mixed this song should also be noted, very proffessional. The albums most poppiest and ironic songs follows. "Plastic Plan" is about how the lame/fake the pop world truly is but this song is also quite poppy with some subtle nods to disco of the 70's but make no mistake, none of thse factors stop this song from being anything less than fantastic. The 8th song "Inhuman Creation Station" contains one of Jess Margeras finest performances on the entire album, everything about his playing in this song should be admired by all listeners, as well as the amazingly cathcy and technical riffs by Miller and Ginsburg. The easy singlable lyrics are probably my favorites from the album due to the orignality of the subject matter, incredibly well done. this song is an instant classic with all who hear it, guaranteed. the 9th and heaviest/fastest song on the album "Sporadic Movement" proves that just because the album is beginning to wind down, there is still no letting up from CKY. This song is short in length but it does nothing but prove what a versatile and experimental band CKY truly are. The almost 30 second scream from Deron Miller then fades into the trademark CKY mellow album closer "Close Yet Far". This song is very moody, sad and mellow without coming across as whinny or pretentious anyway. Deron and Chads down tuned acoustic guitars and beautifully sad lyrics are of a person with a fear of leaving her house and because of this fear, they miss out on everything life has to offer. this is a very tragic reality that many have to face everyday and CKY makes note of that in a one of a kind beautiful way. This song is the ideal way to finish of the unstoppable and incredible ride you have gone to while fully listening to this album.

I have owned this album for 2 years and it is still as amazing and new to me as it was when I 1st purchased it. Everytime I listen to it I find something new to appreiciate about this band and this album and I'm sure many will begin to share those same feelings along with me after they bravely take a chance and buy this cd. if you are ready and in need for something truly inspiring and original, then there is no better album to start with.

This album was great. Starts of with Escape From Hellview witch is an excellent song and followed by Flesh Into Gear witch is another great song followed by Sink Into the Underground witch is a really sweet song followed by guess what another f--king kick ass song. But the last song Close Yet Far best song ever almost what you can call a ballad but still some kick ass s--t right here. I highly recommend this CD as well as Volume 1, and there newest one An Answer can be found both kick ass.

give props for cky there music isnt quite as dumb as there stupid home videos, but its far too basic and "forced catchiness" that its hard to be consistently entertained by its pleasures. Cky Manage to come with a decent batch of fresh guitar riffs and vocal harmonies that go along a punkish slow-burn stoner metal beat. which shine through in songs like "escape from hellview" "plastic plan" "sporadic movement" and "close yet far". but its so repetitive and flat in rythym it never kicks up a head of steam and the vocals are way too filtered and echoey. theres no bridges to speak of, and the drum fill here and there adds little but for a band intent in reinventing the mainstream this seem scaringly close to it wether you admit it or not, give it though its far easier to digest. At 34 minutes long no one should be writing a two page long review on this friggin cd....thats being over elaborative

I first encountered CKY when I saw them open for Guns 'N Roses in November of 2002. I thought they were extremely entertaining, so I downloaded some of their songs. It took me a long time to get into them. Their sound was [and still is] totally original. I had never heard anything like it before, so I didn't know what to think at first. Eventually though, I went out and bought this album. I've been a huge fan ever since. IDR features innovative guitar work, excellent use of synths, and great vocals and lyrics courtesy of CKY frontman Deron Miller. These guys are breathing new life into a rock climate suffocated by nu-metal, pop-punk, emo, and Pearl Jam copycats. If you're looking for something new, different, and fresh, do yourself a favor and buy this CD. You won't be let down.

But if you dont know what this is you should listen to CKY VOLUME 1 first. If you like this cd buy vol. 1. dont buy AN ANSWER CAN BE FOUND because it is a bad parody of this cd.

Infiltrate.Destroy.Rebuild was, is, and will be one of the greatest records of all time. You'll blown away from start to finish. perfectly laid out by Chad Ginsburg, the producer and rhythm guitarist/backup vocals. Deron Miller's guitar playing and singing is amazing. Jess Margera's drumming is completely original. the bass (both by chad and deron on the records) is deep and awesome
Escape from Hellview: one of the best openers ever on a cd. The song is about the fantasy horror town of Hellview (begining form their first CD, 96 quite bitter beings, and the supposed prequel was done by one of the pre-cky bands, OiL, on Thanks for The Ride). The lyrics are chilling, the moogs are perfect, the backing vocals done by chad are just awesome. Deron knows how to scare you wiht his lyrical ability. this song is amazing. plain and simple

Flesh into Gear: the song about getting off your @$$ and doing something with yourself. lol not about your ex giving you AIDS. but this song is awesome, maybe it's a little over-mooged, but i can handle. I love the bridge, fun stuff to play on guitar.

Sink into the Underground: incredible. the song is about how you get hooked on to something, and you can never let it go. it could be anything, like alcoholism, or drug abuse, or maybe even a girl. but the song is perfectly laid out, i love the octave work by deron. the drums are what get me on this song. they are perfect and clear, i just love it.

Attached at the Hip: How you just cant get rid of someone, they are just attached at the hip to you. i love the lyrics. one of the lyrics are what made me fall in love with cky's music.

Frenetic Amnesic: the moog driven song is just one of my favorites. i love the drums, and the lyrics. the song is based on the movie, Momento. Deron hates the movie, but loves this song.

Shock and Terror: a song about how bored you can get, you jsut do sick and sadistic things to keep you sane. i love this song, very bass driven. catchy and lyrically insane.

Plastic Plan: the poppy song against pop. just genius. the riff is repedetive, but i just loev it. i dont know why.

Inhuman Creation Station: I love this song, the lyrics, the drums, the guitar, the bass. it's just perfect. the song is obviously about a factory that makes humans. no hidden meanings. watch the video, you'll see.

sporadic movement: this song just gets me going. heavy @$$ song!! it's about how you get so violent, you can just rip someone a new @$$hole. the 20 second scream is awesome!

close yet far: a great closure. the song is about the fear of leaving home. i love it, deron's voice is soft and perfect for the song. great ballad

this is deff a 5 star record. buy it today!!

cKy's 2nd album, Inflitrate Destroy Rebuild, is one of the only CDs in my collection that I can say I can listen front to back without using that skip button. Each song has a different mood to it but stays in a good range of each other.

Escape From Hellview, a great song to open up the album with. It has a great beat from the start and it's lyrics are solid guided by Deron Miller's dark voice. Flesh Into Gear is perhaps the one song I listen to the most, it has the best solo on the whole album in my opinion which is faded into through Miller's great death scream. Sink Into The Underground, the only lame part of the song is the chorus, it seems to get annoying after awhile.

Attached At The Hip, great song but seems to be lacking the power of the beginning of the album. Frenetic Amnesic was the song that I didnt really like until I started listening to it for a few times, it's got a soft slow beat to it. Shock and Terror gives a feeling of fun everytime I hear it, I guess after seeing the credits of Haggard it is just that kind of song now.

Plastic Plan, one of the songs on this album I could live without, it's just too plain, and you know it because the whole band seems out of it while playing this song. Inhuman Creation Station has a great beat to it with a good nice story in the lyrics. Sporadic Movement is energetic and one of the best songs of the album, and it's finished off with Close Yet Far, which a lot of people like, but I dont really care for this song.

Overall, this album is a great CD and needs to be in everybody's collection whom likes rock music. So far it's the best cKy Album, but who knows maybe An Answer Can Be Found will blow it out of the water. Buy this album now though, it's a great classic.

WOW!!! CKY's style of music is something you don't hear everyday, but it is totally amazing. The group is really getting to become well known throughout the whole MTV Jackass ans Viva La Bam. If you havent heard of these guys by now you need to check them out. Infiltrate Destroy Rebuild is an excellent album, with only 10 tracks it is the best 35 minutes of rock you could ever imagine to get for such a low price. Standouts on this album are Escape From Hellview, Flesh Into Gear,Shock And Terror, and Close Yet Far. CKY rocks!!

It was kind of hard finding this album, because I live in Cincinnati, Ohio, and we don't get much CKY around here. Anyway, I love this album. Like most people, I saw Jess Margera, along with the rest of the band, on a few episodes of Viva La Bam and I wanted to know how good CKY was. So I bought this album and now I love it.

1. Escape From Hellview: 10/10. I absolutely love this song. It's one of the best on the whole album. It has very meaningful lyrics and I love the verses.

2. Flesh Into Gear: 7/10. Not my favorite, but it takes a while to like it.

3. Sink Into the Underground: 8/10. Pretty good, I like the verses a lot.

4. Attached at the Hip: 10/10. The whispering of the verses makes this song sound pretty heavy, but when you get to the chorus, it's really catchy, like most of the songs on this album.

5. Frenetic Amnesic: 10/10. Very weird lyrics, at first I didn't know what they were talking about, but it's really good, espescially the chorus.

6. Shock and Terror: 10/10. I didn't appreciate this song until I got to the chorus, which is still in my head right now. It is very good, really catchy, and just down-right meaningful.

7. Plastic Plan: 3/10. This song is actually very boring. It goes very slow and you probably won't know the concept of it. Not my personal favorite.

8. Inhuman Creation Station: 9/10. Jess's drumming is amazing on this song, and it's very catchy.

9. Sporadic Movement: 10/10. This is very fast-paced, but in a good way. Although I like the speed of this song, my favorite part is when it slows down and the music stops all except the drumming sounding like a heartbeat and the simple guitar strums.

10. Close Yet Far: 10/10. I like that this is an acoustic song and at the intro it sounds kind of like a Backstreet Boys song but the chorus is catchy and it will stay locked up in your brain for days.

Like alot of other people, I first heard cky from Bam, on both Jackass and Viva la Bam. Only I didn't realize what songs playing were theirs, but I seen cky in the music credits alot, and finally decided to check them out. I bought this CD and was amazed. I love every song, with the exception of Plastic Plan, it just seems like it wouldnt be out of place in a dance club, but thats just what I think.

And for the people who say that all the songs sound alike, then they dont need to be listening to music at all.

Bottom Line- Buy this album if you like good music

Yes, we know, you guys are Bam Margera's little brother's band-- that dude from Jackass. In fact, I would venture to guess that outside of their home state of Pennsylvania, the only people that know of CKY (wittily short for Camp Kill Yourself) know them from Jackass. But, hey, you've got to make yourself known somehow, right? Even if it is just a springboard off of your superstar sibling's fame. I mean, it worked for Ashley Simpson, didn't it...? OK, bad example, but you get the point.
In their third (?) full length rental car wrecking disco-rockers CKY make a their presence known again, one way or the other. This album seems to be the anthem of shopping cart wielding wish-I-was-on-Jackasses everywhere. And all jokes aside, rightfully so. This album is full of vaguely conceptual lyrics coupled with CKY's signature single string guitar riffs.
I would be lying if I didn't say I enjoyed this album at one time. From the easily headbangable "Escape From Hellveiw," with its strangely 28 days later-ish lyrical story line and chugging rhythm to the semi-acoustic crooning of "Close Yet Far," where the band moderately successfully stretches their creative chops. However, in my old age I realize those two songs are about all the diversity this album has to flaunt. In fact, having never heard of any of their songs before, I may have even mistaken "Escape From Hellview" and "Sporadic Movement" as the same song.

You can sum up most of the album with the following formula:

1. Quick drum fill.
2. Bouncing disco beat
3. Highly overdriven near-swing guitar riff
4. Bass... possibly?
5. Chug it up at the chorus
6. (optional) A tinge of synth

The main perk of this album is that said formula just so happens to be CKY's area of expertise and given 10 tracks to work with, they will do it well enough if all you're looking to for is some sweet rock music to flip your mom's mini-van to.

5.9/10

I bought IDR to see if it was any good because everybody talks about Bam and CKY. I started listening to it, and I've got to say, I was impressed. All the tracks were great except two (Frenetic Amnesic and Plastic Plan). But the rest were great. My favorite from this album is probably Escape from Hellview. Overall, this CD was great and I can't wait till the new CD comes out this Spring.

From start to finish, I am a huge CKY fan and always have been. Oh sure, i got volume 1 and stuff, but nothing can compare to this musical metal-punk msterpiece that is CKY. Absolutely, get this and play it nonstop...because it gets no better.

In conclusion, "Infiltrate Destroy Rebuild" has an awesome sound and beats making you edge for more. Deron Miller's vocals will leave listeners on the edge of their seats. CKY, you have done it again.

Sadly I used to be in love with blink 182. Then one day a kid at school said he found this crappy cd so i said i would take it just to check it out. This album single handedly changed my life. This album was IDR. It was in very poor condition but i listened to everything i could. The moment i heard the first note of hellview it seems like i fell in love. From then on i slowly became a metal head. Going from cky to dimmu borgir to slayer to malevolent creation to death. EVERYTHING CHANGED. I started playing guitar during the blink 182 times. I could play everyone of their songs (since they are all the same). But cky finally gave me a challenge. THe riffs are brilliant. You might be able to play them after a long long time of practice. But you sure as hell cant come up with the stuff deron can come up with. Also, I recommend Foreign Objects. Deron Miller, Jess Margera, and the newly aquired James Murphy. Universal Culture Shock is the best album i have ever owned. But to even remotly enjoy foreign objects. I think you should listen to all of cky's stuff. So you can fuly understand what cky's roots are.

They claim to be a revolution in music, yet all the tracks are almost exactly identical. The songs are mediocre and their lyrics are simple and childish. They need to quit preaching their superiority for they are not superior over anything. Even a monkey with a stick and a banjo has more creativity than these sorry excuses for musicians. Avoid at all cost. Try some Blue Man Group. Much better.

What can i say, this cd is a big disapointment. I heard the band talk about less is more. I guess they changed there mind. All the guitar riffs remind me of "volume 1" but not half as good...Alot of the songs have annoying synth sounds. The song "Frenetic Amnesic" is one of them, it has some kind of wavey flute sound.The song "Flesh into gear" is good for the most part, till the end of it , when more annoying synth sounds start to play. And the last song on the album "Close yet far" is a slow song, with an acoustic guitar. Its music sounds like a rejected backstreet boys song and the lyrics are like a whiney little Blink 182 song . ITS HORRIBLE!!! Anyways all the kids that left a great 5 star review for this cd, must be smoking somthing and im not talking about ciggarettes or marijauna. Or maybe they are all just brain washed by Bam. If you dont have a CKY cd yet, and you want one, buy the first one. Its called "Volume 1" Its a great cd. It is so much better then "Infiltrate-destroy-rebuild".Cause im telling you the honest truth "IDR" stinks bad

This used to be my favorite CKY ablum. Then after not listening to it for over 3 months, I finally pulled it out again. Realizing that every track, with the exception of about 3, sound VERY similar. Now for track reviews:

Escape From Hellview: Very cool guitar riff. Only real problem I have with this track is the chorus. It's really fast at first, then it slows down, and speeds up again. Sounds kind of akward.

Flesh Into Gear: I'm not a huge fan of the vocals in this song. They don't sound at all natural. Other than that, there really isn't anything else thats bad about this one.

Sink Into The Underground: I loved this song, until I learned how to play it. I realized how simple the riff is, and that it's very similar to another riff I've learned before. The verses in this song aren't very good, but it has a decent chorus.

Attatched At The Hip: It's about this point in the album where you really start to notice a trend. This song is basically a more polished version of Flesh Into Gear. Deron Miller's vocals sound pretty bad as well.

Frenetic Amnesic: This is one of the three exceptions I mentioned. First off, the vocals are a little too soft. And the song is just plain annoying. Cool guitar riff though, but even thats a little too quiet.

Shock And Terror: Another one of my three exceptions, this is one of two songs on the entire album I can actually say I really like anymore. This song involves more bass than CKY usually uses, and I think that it's one of the few CKY songs with any melencholy. If you do buy this album, make sure not to skip over this track.

Plastic Plan: This song can be described in two words, ''Power Chords.'' Thats all this song is. I do have to mention the lyrics before I move on though. This song in a nutshell is about how people never think for themselves, and how much most music today sucks. Now I don't want to sound like a prick, but CKY always says how they are trying to change the music indistury by making good music, but in all reality they haven't done anything. Thats about the end of my rant.

Inhuman Creation Station: This song, musically anyway, is a complete rip off of a Led Zeppelin song. I believe it's called The Battle Of Evermore. Anyway, this isn't a bad song, but it's nothing special.

Sporadic Movement: Probably the worst track on the album. It's just all the previous tracks combined, with harder and faster guitar playing. Thats it.

Close Yet Far: The third and final exception, and the only other song besides Shock And Terror that I like. This is easily CKY softest song, and they did a very nice job with it. They lyrics are a bit obvious, but it just flows so nicely, you can't help but like it.

Now, I realize this review was very opinionated, but I'm just putting in what I think. You don't have to agree, but after listening to other bands, different albums, and other CKY albums, I'd have to say this won't be a very remembered release. I'd personally check out CKY Vol. 1 first, or maybe look into some other bands.

This is simply one of the best rock CD released in a long time and one of the best albums I own.
It's just good rock music, and I can't believe they don't get more radio play.

Their music is on resident evil ii soundtrack, viva la bam, jackass, not to mention the CKY dvds
I would recommend this CD to anyone into Tool, Marilyn Manson, Blank Theory, or any other rock.

I am sick of all these pop goth kids giving this band a bad name. Yes if you think bands like Marilyn Manson and H.I.M. are gothic rock your a pop goth. Now that this is out of the way CKY are one of the best bands of our time. Why you ask well they stay true to thier music with excellent riffs and really thought provoking lyrics. The songs are not overproduced garabage thats only purpose is to get them into the lime light. If you get the chance to see this band live take it. This LP is also well worth the amazon price there isn't a skip song on the entire cd. Oh yeah and just because you listen to H.I.M. or Marilyn Manson dosen't mean that you fall in to the horrible pop goth category. You have the right to your opinion but you don't have the right to genre these bands,well except for Manson they are pop rock.
