Canadians can sound angry, too

"Jesus H. Murphy, these guys sound pissed. My throat hurts just listening to this guy scream (he's not quite as raw as Converge's singer, but I'm sure he still has an exploded uvula). This album sounds like one long temper tantrum, but it's a fun temper tantrum to listen to. There is a moment near the end, during the track "Orthodox Unparalelled", when they sound like a cross between Pink Floyd's "Time" and "Woodpecker From Mars" by Faith No More. Seriously. But then they quickly return to the dissonant, atonal, double-bass jackhammer, screaming banshee from hell punishment we all deserve."

Dont know what to say

"wtf. ok no one really has said much about the lyrics or the concept of this album so i guess i will.i listened to this 4 times and it all ran together. i thought it was going to be just another cd to add to my collection but then i actually took the time to read the lyrics. the last time ive been forced to feel emotions i try to forget excist this strongly was 4 or 5 years ago when i first heard eyehategod's take as needed for pain. they were different emotions but equally as powerful. organelle and the scent of elegance gave me that weird butterfly feeling in some stomach and sent shivers up my spine. which in my opinion means a powerful album. unlike a lot of music i like ie black metal the darkness within divida provokes is a clostrafobic darkness.i swear the world got darker the second i hit the play button. i really dont know what else to say but if u like metal that will dredge up feelings from the depths and darkness of your mind and soul u NEED to own this reading the lyrics is imperitive to the experiece though."

My own experience with this album

"ok, so you can probably get a good idea how these guys sound from other reviews. i just wanted to share a story i have about this album.

i bought it a short while after it was released, listened to it once, wasn't that into it, and it got shelved. i pulled it out again over a year later to see if my opinion of it might have changed. it had. i marvelled at the technical proficiency and insanely complex songwriting. also, it scared the hell out of me. this is where the interesting part of my story comes in.

i was in my dorm room alone one day, packing some things in preparation for moving out, with this album cranked up. i felt a twitch. i turned around and nothing was there. this kept happening. i thought i heard people calling, talking, yelling. i sincerely believe this album was inducing schizophrenic tendencies. that is amazing.



buy this album, sit in a room, turn it up, and freak yourself out. you'll like it."
