"This CD is very good, but it got boring quite quickly. Still, its pretty fun to listen to, and some of the songs are amazing. The music is kinda poppier NIN with a female singer. Here's my track by track review:
1. Goddess on the Floor: 6/10 Quite boring song. At the beginning some clanging industrial noises, and building up slowly to become almost a techno dance track. Seeing as I'm into rock this didn't really appeal to me.
2. Twelve Things: Pretty chilled song but got boring after a few listens. 7/10
3. Follow Me: Starts off all sweet and girly and then the guitars kick in!! 8/10
4. So Real: One of the poppiest songs on the album. Its slightly different to the single version of this song. 8/10
5. Valley: My favourite song, apart from Tastes Like Kisses. Harry's voice is gorgeous on this; it starts off quiet and spine-tinglingly beautful, but then gets louder with a simple but effective guitar solo.10/10
6. Underground: This song is quite annoying. The poppiest on the album, apart from So Real and Push It. Starts well, but the chorus lets it down. 4/10
7. Eye: This is one of the best songs, one of the hardest songs on the album anyway. Its a good song to listen to when you're angry at someone. All together now: "You eat up my dirt!!!!" 9/10
8. Push It (Real Good): A very good cover. This one is really danceable, with cool synths. Probably the least rocky song on the album, this song relies mostly on synths, but does have a few grinding guitars in there. 9/10
9. I Do What I Do: Pretty hard song, at least compared to the others. This one is quite forgettable, but ok. 7/10
10. Tastes Like Kisses: I LOVE this song!!!! Along with Valley, it's my favourite. Girly and pop-rocky, its not really my style, but I love the girly vocals mixed with guitars and synths. 10/10
11. Heroin: Its quite good, but another forgettable one. Sounds a bit like the previous track only not so good. 5/10
12. Nothing Really Matters: This song is quite long and does drag on a bit. Still, its pretty good. The end is the best bit, where Harry screams the lyrics over and over and the song explodes in this massive electrical burst. 8/10
13. Imagination: Another cover, but its great. This was on the rimmel advert and you can see why - its stylish and just sleazy enough. 10/10
Basically, this album is great if you're into industrial or electroclash music. There is good variety among the songs, and though some of the songs are weak its a pretty cool album."
Dirty Harry indeed!

"Now this is a very pleasant surprise! It is mix of techno and metal by a group with a female singer. At times it is stunning modern music as on "Goddess on the Floor" or "imagination". Some of the other songs are somewhat weaker but overali it is a superb CD."
