"A previous reviewer had mentioned this album is great for melting the ladies, and, as a lady, I must say I do melt every time I hear it. I don't know what it is -- most likely Chris Randall's voice --*shivers*-- but this album just does things to me that no other collection of music ever has done before. I had loved SMG prior to the release of this album, and I must say, the random addition of the saxaphones was a stroke of genius. I don't dare to think what the album would have been like without it.IMHO, this is the best album they've ever done, and it's easily in the top ten of my all-time favorite albums. I've played my own copy so many times that it's all scratched to hell, and any day now I'm going to have to buy a second copy. It's that good."
Best. Suave Industrial album. Ever.

"C.Randall really did it this time, a dark ,smooth album thats perfect for either melting the ladies (if they are goth or grunge girls), breaking somone's knee caps in some violent fighting game, or walking around at night. Very diverse and very well made stuff, and some points are very rowdy as well "hole in the ground" for one, very reminicent of the preceding album
"The Torture Technique" (s.m.g's masterpeice album). Not to knock this one at all though, if "TTT" was never made (perish the thought) than this album "Burn" would absolutely be the band's masterpeice cd. Strong electronic beats, to die for guitar riffs,gothic organs, saxophones, spliced up voice filters, a few trippy samples here and there, c.randalls evil/smooth lyrics and just a kewl atmosphere make this cd what it is. It was also produced by Jim Marcus of Die Warzau so that doesnt exactly hurt either.So if your into very unique sounding industrial rock then you'll enjoy this big time. my favorite tracks on here : "overload" "dispossessed" and "better than me""
Excellent mix of angry industrial and smooth jazz!

"This is in my mind the best sister machine gun cd to date. the album is a beautiful mix of the day's angry industrial music, and the smooth jazz that made us love smg! sister machine gun did amazing things with the saxaphone hip beats and distorted guitar, that i have lusted for ever since this album was released. The remixes and singles from this album were also amazing. It is unmatched (in the smooth jazz department anyway) to this day, even by chris randall himself..."
Pure overload ...

"Back when this album was made, no one sounded like SMG. The smoother mixture of jazz and industrial riffs is flawless. Some people will relate SMG to NIN, well I disagree. I think SMG is more smoothe and solid. With BURN, you get tracks of intense lyrics, bass lines, and super-natural drum beats. I will admit, I found out about SMG from the Mortal Kombat soundtrack. But this album is still one of the greatests. Probably my favourite track on this is 'Red'. Something about that organ and guitar. Other great tracks are 'better than me', 'overload', and 'Snake'. SMG mixes such great styles all into one and the creation can not be matched. There is also 2 awesome bonus tracks ( 1 before, and 1 after the cd ). So, where there's smoke there's fire. And light a match and watch this one burn ..."
