"The primary purpose of this text is to inform the reader of the two bonus tracks rather than a substantive review of the album. At the time of this writing, Amazon does not specify the two bonus tracks. Both of the bonus tracks on this Japanese release are cover songs. The first bonus track is a cover of Guns & Roses, "My Michelle" while the second bonus track, entitled, "Damaged1&2" is taken from Black Flag. The CD arrives sealed and enveloped by a slipcase.
In general, this album is infectious. Miss Machine treats the listener to challenging angular music that is flawlessly executed in a post-hardcore/grindcore vein. DEP is often labeled as Math Rock since the band employs odd time signatures, polyrhythms, varying tempos and dynamics in their songs. However, DEP should not be reduced to mere labels. The album was met with critical success and has garnered several accolades. For more detailed information, please read the reviews as submitted by others."
