It took me 2 years to like this album! On a first glance, it looks like another bunch of post-aggrotech/death metal tracks that are quite skippable. What makes things interesting is the second half, full of ambient tracks with condensed sonic energy, that could fit perfectly into some game OST (like Doom/DMC). What I always loved about Combichrist projects is the craving for experiments and their brilliant execution. So this time it felt different yet fitting the band concept perfectly again. ... read more

Wow! A true masterpiece I missed back in the 00s, while being obsessed with Industrial music. One can discern the invaluable influence the album exerted over some great bands like Combichrist, Headscan, Suicide Commando, Soman, Icon of Coil etc. Sound is very diverse, but each track is also extremely well-crafted and works on its own, forming its own Industrial subgenre with hundreds of bands that will follow it for the next one and a half decades.

One of the most hated records for no reason. Amazing beats and energy that went through two and a half decades extremely well. My personal Prodigy's top-3 after FOTL and Dirtchamber Sessions.

Uncle J is on it again - pure mid-10s vibe you either enjoy or not. At least half of the tape is straight bangers, and it might be gold without some other tracks. Still, altogether they form the perfect nostalgic fractal mosaic, full of different vibey moments and topics that J highlights in his straightforward lyricism.
