✦✦✧✧ This album is perhaps the band’s catchiest. Relatively speaking. It’s still a feral dog of a sound, with production values that border on antisocial. But there’s an undercurrent of melody and progression that feels new.

✦✦✧✧ This is not an easy album to listen to, even with the by-now-familiar technodeath caveats and Gorguts comparisons that this inevitably invites. For one thing, the production is even less polished than that of the preceding “Labyrinth Constellation,” if you can imagine that. At the same time, it’s oddly more… obvious?…

★★★☆ A fairly uneven, but wildly entertaining collection of post-death songs. During the moments that really work (which are at least half of the album), you’re treated to a Gorguts-style grossfest, but with Glassjaw-like deconstructionism. Definitely worth at least one listen, all the way through.
