The debut album from this neo-metal, Bay-area quartet was executive produced by
Lars Ulrich, so there's much
Metallica-style thud and crunch pulsing through these grooves. It's tough enough, and
Andy Wallace's always-reliable mix covers many of the sonic flaws, but there's something mild and common about it all. In the end, just another new century rock & roll band going through the motions. ~ Michael Gallucci
