"Looks to be the goth/metal band's first CD release.Probably considered by most fans to be(somewhat)better than 'Sin City'(see my review),as I believe this is the third Genitorture's work I've ever done a review of.Tunes here that sort of had me sit up and take some notice were "Reality Check",the slammin' "House Of Shame","River's Edge/Strip The Flesh" and maybe "Crack Track".I checked the liner notes here and it credits Hawkwind co-founder Nik Turner as this album's producer.How about that?"
EXCELLENT!!

"THIS IS THE ONLY GENITORTURERS CD I HAVE AND AM ACTUALLY SHOPPING FOR A NEW BECAUSE MY OTHER IS BASICALLY WORN OUT. I WANTED TO COMMENT ON THEIR LIVE SHOWS. I'VE SEEN THEM 3 TIMES AT A LOCAL DETROIT VENUE AND IT WAS INTERESTING TO SAY. NOT FOR THE SHY TYPE OR CHRISTIAN PERSON. IT WAS QUITE IMPRESSIVE THOUGH AND THEY EVEN INCLUDE THE AUDIENCE IN THEIR PERFORMANCE BY ACTUALLY LOCKING AN ACQUAINTANCE OF MINE IN A STEEL CAGE AND MAKING HIM CRAWL AROUND ON HIS HANDS AND KNEES AND SLAPPING HIS BACKSIDE WITH A BELT. LIKE I SAID...NOT FOR THE FAINT HEARTED BUT A TRUELY SUPERIOR SHOW. I WOULD SEE THEM AGAIN AND AGAIN IF THEY RETURNED TO DETROIT."
A masterpiece

"120 Days is a melting pot of metal & industrial. The riffs are heavy and driving, while the industrial overtones create a dark atmosphere. These guys really had something with this sound, I just wish they kept it up on the next album. They put on an incredible live show which was a feast for the ears and eyes."
Great debut album!

"I have both Sin City and this album. I loved Sin City, so I bought this album.
It's a great heavy metal album, it's just not exactly very melodic in my mind. But, granted I get angry and I will listen to this CD, and it will make me feel better. I know all the lyrics, and I absolutely love this CD as well. But for repeat listenings? Being as ecelectic and ADHD as I am, I'll need something different. The songs aren't in themselves very unique from other stuff or themselves."
