"I'll give it 2 1/2 stars.'Sin City' is the band's second CD as I'm sorry to say that it's not as good as I had expected.It's fair.One could describe their music as industrial metal.Their lead vocalist/sex circus ringleader known simply as Gen is quite the outrageous show girl while performing live out on tour.I've seen the band once on this very tour as I remember Gen brought out two women dressed as young Catholic school girls and as each song progressed to the next,Gen kept increasing the two girl's punishments.They almost make the Plasmatics and Gwar seem like Romper Room.As for the tunes that I thought were decent are "Terror Vision",their AC/DC cover "Squealer","4 Walls Black" and "Crucified"(at the concert I saw,they did some unmentionable sacrilegious things).Honestly,when I attended this show,I almost thought I was at a taping of the Jerry Springer show,on S&M night.Might appeal to fans of Marilyn Manson,Leather Strip and possibly Die Cheerleader."
WOW!

"This album absolutely rocks. Of course, if fulfills my need for something dirty, it's hard and the lyrics and music are great!
My favorite track is "Terrorvision" I think the lyrics are just awesome and the chorus can have me singing for hours!
This stuff is heavy and not for the faint of heart. If you like heavy metal, then here you go. It has a chick fronter, and she rocks of course.
I'm eagerly awaiting their new album which is due out in the summer I believe!"
