Album Notes & Community Reviews

Marking a significant evolution from their hardcore roots, the New York ensemble injected complex technical thrash elements into this sophomore release. The musicianship is intensely rhythmic and technically demanding, perfectly complementing their signature brand of sarcastic, hedonistic humor. The challenging song structures signaled their imminent transition into the progressive metal outfit Scatterbrain.
