What an awfully dull CD!

Review Score: (4/10)
I wonder if people who give 5 stars to this CD ever heard about the band Ministry, or Fear Factory's scull-crushing "Demanufacture" album. Because compared to them, this album is just sleep-invoking piece of garbage. Start your typical drum-machine, add simplistic distorted bass-line, add simplistic guitar-line along the bass, add chaotic guitar effects here and there, add your typical "rough" vocals. You've got your typical masterpiece. Or haven't you?
The only thing saving this CD from being absolute junk is nice beats in a couple of songs, and successful atmospheric effects in another. That's it.
Well, it kinda flows nice in the background while you're reading some easy stuff, but this is about all it has to offer.

And I haven't yet mentioned the "lyrics". Oh, lyrics... "I hate myself. I am nothing. World-is-s**t" (TM) that sort of thing.

Save yourself some hard-earned cash. Spend it on the above-mentioned Fear Factory instead. Or, Ministry's "Psalm 69", or "Filth Pig" (which is very close to this album in mood, except that it was made with the word "GENIUS" stamped all over it). Or, if you're into heavier music and don't mind using human drummers, either one of the first two Machine Head's albums are head and shoulders above this.
Choose wisely!
