If
you're into mosh pit metal, this album is for you. It's full of energy
that doesn't let up until the last track. However, what makes this albumstand
out amongst other death metal albums out there is the blend between
Burton C. Bell's shifting vocal styles and Rhys Fulber's keyboards.
Burton C. Bell blurts out anger like no one's business, but he sings
melodic, too. Add in Rhys Fulber's excellent touch of keyboards, and
you get a death metal band that is not only melodic, but electronic
as well. The best track on this album is "Replica". If all of the songs
were as catchy as this one, this would be a great album. But even with
the slightly shifting vocal styles and slight electronics, this is still
a hard-core straight forward death metal album. Every track sounds basically
the same. There isn't a whole lot of variety to be found here. I feel
that making the electronics more apparent would have helped. Also, adding
more diversity into each of the songs. But as it is now, only death
metal fans should go for this one.
