My sole purpose of this review is to smash everyones favorite cd into what it is, a piece of over- melodic garbage.. I agree with everyone on one aspect, these guys definately are very good at their instruments, and very good at what they do.. its just what they do that bothers me.. No atmosphere whatsoever (which I can live without, but this cd is completely void of any feeling) it drowns itself in melodies (which is NOT a good thing..), and is just completely gay..

Vox - The vocals on this cd are a deeper type of black rasp.. very badly done as they do not change or do anything interesting whatsoever.. he sounds like hes doing this just because he HAS to, and not because he WANTS to.. Very Poor 3/10

Guitars - The guitars on this cd (although technical) are overly melodic, and really have no feeling to them.. as with everything on this cd, it seems as though they are playing just because they have to, and not because they want to.. its very bland, and very pathetic.. complete lack of emotion... and just WAYYY too many melodies... Decent 5/10

Bass - Is there a bass guitar used on this cd? Pathetic 1/10 (didn't hear it once)

Drums - The drummer here is the only highlight for me.. he doesn't do anything interesting whatsoever, but he does actually add some FEEL to the music, and some aggression.. but this is probably just because he is playing very fast and probably wasn't his intention.. Good 6/10

Overall - This is a very, very disappointing CD (thought so since I FIRST bought it, so don't think I'm one of those people who just hates things everyone likes), I had heard so much good about this band, but it completely lacked anything for me.. no emotion, completely bland, and just full of gay melodies.. the song structure is good, but its nothing special.. in short-this cd lacks what makes underground music so good (esp. black metal) EMOTION... Garbage 3/10
