"From the minds behind Neurosis comes this amazingly different band. Tribes of Neurot is simply one of those bands that cannot be put into any sort of genre, it is there on its own. With an amazing mix of industrial, dark ambient, noise, darkwave, metal, and anything else you can think of, 'Silver Blood Transmission' can best be described as a think wall of bludgeoning sound. After my first listen of this album I was both blown away and at a loss for words, 75 minutes of pulsating depressingly beautiful music. With samples ranging from fairly strange chants and tribal drums ("Manifestation of Modern Means") to some fairly heavy distortion ("Wolf Lava") it is very diverse so it does not get very old at all. My personal favorite track has got to be "Fires of Purification". The song is just pure emotional release, this song alone is worth the price of the C.D. "Primordial Uncarved Block" is another sincerely depressing track that allows aural euphoria to the listener. All in all this is an amazing album that must be obtained at any costs."

"I like this disc. Some of the tracks are mellow ambient, some of them are minimal tribal rhythm-oriented, and some of them are all-out ear-splitting industrial (Einsturzende-ish, not NIN-ish) noise. I love them all though. And it's quite a bang for the buck, at over 75 mins. running time!"
