Reviewed by: Darklight I was not too impressed with Out Out's previous release "Nisus" because it was fairly generic electro industrial music with heavy guitar. Well, this album is no different. The overall recording sound is a bit muffled without giving the songs a crisp and clean quality. So right away the band kind of has a fairly amateur sound to them. Typical electronic programming begins each song and then heavy guitars come in and overpower everything. The vocals are extremely distorted and basically just shout out words instead of actually sing. Each song sounds almost exactly the same. Once you have heard one song on this album you have heard them all. The music plays along at a dreary pace and is very heavy. It could not work on the dance floor. It's not energetic enough. Combine standard electronic programming with thrashy guitars and distorted vocals and you get the material delivered here. It's your typical run of the mill generic heavy industrial music that doesn't offer anything new to make you reach for it when you have so many other choices to choose from.

Reviewed by: Darklight This is pretty generic Cyber-Core music for the most part. It has a muffled and scratchy overall sound to it. The beats and rhythms are repetitive and bland. The music is created with guitars, drum beats, electronics, synths, and samples. The vocals are distorted, and basically just shout out words. All of the songs tend to sound the same. There isn't a lot of diversity to be found here. Most of the songs play at a medium pace. The songs "E&E", "Ethico", and "Nisus" are the best songs on the album. They are very fast paced, aggressive, thrashy, and catchy. It's too bad all of the songs on the album couldn't have been as good. This isn't a terrible album. But there just isn't anything new to be heard here. This band isn't tryinganything new. They are just basically following a formula. I hope that they get more creative on their next album, or at least make all of the songs rock as hard as the three that I mentioned. .
