"I... hm... for dramatic influence I will draw this review out. THIS ALBUM IS THE SH*T! EVERY track on here is GOLD. I can't think of a single song on here that even whisped mediocre. I LOVE IT! From start to finish this cd rocks! This cd is comparable in revolution of sound to Refused's "The Shape of Punk to Come", At the Drive In's "Relationship of Command", Snapcase's "End Transmission", Hole's "Live Through This", Radiohead's "OK Computer", Pink Floyd's "The Wall", Nirvana's "Nevermind", The Dillinger Escape Plan's "Calculating Infinity", Tool's "AEnima", Nora, Vision of Disorder, Killing Joke's new s/t, NIN "The Downward Spiral", Faith no More's "The Real Thing", Pearl Jam's "VS", Quicksand's "Slip" Planes Mistaken for Stars and Give Up the Ghost: ANYTHING that shattered the way I looked at music is here and this cd will undoubtedly be in my player for a LONG time. This cd makes you want to get up and shake your fu**ing as*! Though this band may not go platinum they deserve to; and I'm not exaggerating in the least bit: THIS CD KILLS! It's sound is much like a mix of post, and oldschool hardcore with punk elements (not crap punk). Think Black Flag/Minor Threat mixed with Inside Out/Sick of it All mixed with Killswitch Engage/Poison the Well and hell; even some Christiansen and Beastie Boys if you want to get down to it. It's very short time-wise but you will NOT regret letting your ears feast on this. Hats off to Roadrunner for picking up such a unique band."

Not horrible...but why bother?

"I gave this ONE listen and I don't think I'll ever touch it again. This is insulting...even for Roadrunner Records. While I admit it could be alot worse, the bottom line is WHY BOTHER?!? This review is just my opinion and the majority of reviewers for this title seem to think it's pretty good but I would definitely suggest listening to the samples before you purchase this one, otherwise you might be extremely dissapointed."
