There are several artists named Norma Jean.
1. Norma Jean is a metalcore/ mathcore band from Douglasville, Georgia, USA- a suburb of Atlanta. They were originally known as Luti-Kriss. They released two albums: an EP (titled 5ep) in 2000, and a full-length release, Throwing Myself on March 13, 2001. After the release of Throwing Myself, the band changed their name to Norma Jean to avoid confusion with rapper Ludacris.

So close. Do yourself a favor and skip the first track—the second one sets a much better tone for the rest of the record.
The vocals have been a weak point for NJ in the last two records, but they’re spot-on here, and the faster tempo on some of these tracks is a welcome progression. The production style works well, too, and they manage to avoid obvious repetition. Yet, there are a few noticeably dull moments that seem to drag the whole thing back down.
If nothing else, it’s worth the listen to get to “The Lash Whistled Like A Singing Wind”.
