"Fans of Machine Head, Unjust, and Fear Factory will love this awsome CD by the new kings of the Bay Area metal sound (sorry Robb, but these guys shred!). I saw these guys live with Pissing Razors about a month ago, and they ruled! It isn't very often that a band lives up to their live show, but these guys managed to pull it off extremely well with the help of superproducer (at least in the world of metal) Andy Sneap (Machine Head, Pissing Razors, Exodus, Face of Anger, Stuck Mojo, and others). Not only can singer/bassist Steev Esquivel (I think that's how it's spelt) scream as well as Max Cavelara (Soulfly/Sepultura), but he can sing as well as Lane Stanley (Alice In Chains)! So if your hungry for some top-notch, very three-dimensional (not a single song on the album sounds the same, and I mean that in a good way) Bay Area style metal, Skinlab will more than satisfy! (oh, and by the way, this albums a big improvement on their debut, "Bound, Gagged, and Blindfolded", which is only O.K.) If you like this CD, I'd strongly recommend the new Bad Brains tribute CD, on which Skinlab do an awsome versian of "The Messangers"."
THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!

"One of the best cd's I've heard in a long time!! Despite it only having 10 songs, this cd is one of my favorites. They have a video for KNOW YOUR ENEMIES on the cd. I bought this cd, with only hearing about 30 seconds of 5 songs, but I bought it. These recordings don't bring out the best of the music, but if you like Slipknot and Zombie, you'll love Skinlab. 10 stars!!!!"

"Now i'm a fan of all sorts of metal.But to me anything thats got heavines,attitude,and talent is metal.Skinlab has all that and more with ripping vocals(great range),punishing drums,and sick riffs.They are alot like theyre piers(Machine Head,Napalm Death)but both of those bands are great.If you like Skinlab check those two out Machine Head being the best of the three.Also check out Cannibal Corpse,Pro-Pain,Suffocation,Slayer,Heaven Shall Burn,and The Agony Scene."

"i bought this for shedding skin which is a cool song, but the whole thing is just too damn slow. if they sped this thing up, way up, it might be good. sounds like slow fear factory, but a lot worse. bored me to tears."
Extreamly heavy

"skinlab along with pissing razors are the saviors of real metal. i'm not lying either, look at slayer they haven't put out anything good since seasons, and metallica and megadeth are good for a laugh now, metal is being over thrown by the new rap/metal fusion thing created by korn.and what you got here is good old straight up metal. i couldn't find a song i didn't like on this c.d..recoomended!"
