I've owned this CD for probably close to two years now, and this is perhaps the 6th or so time I've actually listened to it...I just never quite saw what people found so interesting about Niden Div.187. Sure, they're pretty fucking fast, and they do exude a somewhat menacing aura at times, but I found them far too one dimensional to hold my attention for very long (this mCD is only 15:27 long, yet I still found my mind wandering while it was on). Production is a bit on the thin side, but this was probably an intentional move to give everything the "razor sharp" sound that this release has. Fans of Zyklon-B (and perhaps even those who enjoy the new Marduk stuff) might gets some kind of gratification from listening to this, but I didn't. Thumbs down in my books, but as I'm not predisposed to this type of thing, my opinion on it doesn't really mean a whole heck of a lot...
