(E-Magine Music)
Here's an album of the sort that Trent Reznor wishes, with all of his electronically wired heart and soul, that he could produce. It's heavier than the shit you took this morning, triggered drums and crisply staccato guitar pulses bouncing off the double-timed 1- and 3-count fast enough to make your pulse skip a beat or two, backed up by some of the smartest lyrics the industrial/metal genre has ever seen (particularly on 'Gridlock' and 'The Most Horrible Word Ever Spoken'). An extraordinary album from this intelligent two-piece.
