With 4 vocalists on board and only one employing this vocal technique my attention is still kept up. This along with the electronic backbone in many songs give the band a 'Cyber Grind' tag (just in case I start being corrected on their genre tag).
I thought the album was enjoyable in both concept and product. If you fancy your ears being cleaned out or an experience in just how far Music can go sonically, then give it a go brave people. It's fucking mental.

I must say Mr. Jack Hammer that you are fast becomming my favorite reviewer here at MB.
I think what you do best is truly entice a potential listener to make that "brave choice" of actually listening...
Grindcore is an acquired taste and not everyones cup of tea; but you still must put it into its deserved context and recognition as an art form in and of itself. One can see the incredible amount of produciton in this not to mention highly evolved visual stimuli and envelope pushing themes. Not exactly dinner music, but then again what is... Great review!
