You get five excellent songs on this album. They are "Come Alive", "Hell's Home", "Slave Or Payer", "Baal", and "Wrench". They are a combination between fast paced guitar driven Cyber-Core music and dark goth rock. The blend works rather well because the beats and rhythms are aggressive and the singing goes well with the music. Three of the tracks "Ministry Of Rage", "Cock Panther", and "Aria For 1,000 Heads" are just short lame instrumental pieces. "Womb" is an actual song, but is extremely bad. An annoying "beep" plays all through it, and the singing is off key. The five songs that I like make this album a must for my collection. But it's a shame that a band this good included a bunch of crap on their debut album. Because this could have been so much better. I'm hoping on their next album they concentrate more on making solid structured songs, and less on including instrumental filler garbage that just doesn't belong.
