"This album features some Naked City-songs written by John Zorn, and some written by the band members themselves. Here you will find some of the best things Zorn has ever written for Naked City. Listen for example to "Cold Blood", "The Shrike" or "Blood Sucking Freaks", which has everything a great Naked City song needs: fast changes, great playing, erruptive solo's and a wide range of music. Naked City fans ... don't hestitate ... buy this one"
A potentially great band constricting itself

"When it comes to John Zorn, I get bored. His work with Naked City was wonderful, but most of his other stuff I find tiresome nowadays. This particular band has great potential, but they chain themselves far too tightly to the Zorn aura--the best stuff on this album were the tracks written by Prelapse themselves, not the 'unrecorded music' of Naked City. I hope this band realize their own artistry and branch off into their own work."
