This album is not that much different from Abstinence's debut album "Revolt Of The Cyberchrist". However, it's not quite as dark and gloomy. Electronics are used much greater here. But this is still pretty generic music that plays along at a medium pace. The beats and rhythms are not catchy at all. This is not dance floor music. All of the songs sound exactly the same. There isn't a whole lot of diversity to be found here. The music plays along at an extremely repetitive pace, and the vocals just seem like shouting of words being read. The singing never gets very creative. Eight of the songs found on this album have vocals, while the other eight are strictly instrumentals with a lot of samples throughout. If you're looking for something new, you won't find it here. |

Reviewed by: Darklight This is very dark and gloomy music. It's not meant for the dance floor. There are slightly distorted vocals, slight guitar, electronics, synths, samples, and drum beats all mixed together. The music isn't very energetic. It doesn't just flat out rock. But it's not slow, either. It's somewhere in-between. This band sounds very similar to both Apparatus and Devoid. If you combined those two bands, you would get the sound that Abstinence creates. Five of the songs on this album are instrumentals with a lot of samples throughout. The other eight songs do have vocals, but none of them really stand out. They all sound the same, and are a bit dull. The recording level is a bit muffled as well. The sound isn't very crisp and clear. There is absolutely nothing new to be found here. Also, you've heard this same style of music done a lot better before.
