Customer Reviews Great Affliction This Cd has the crunch,and presence. The Band is quite interesting and I enjoy almost all the tracks. . Real kick ass stuff. . If you like industrial rock this is a must have. Great tunes and very well recorded. . Chris . Industrial Genius So I guess you have to take my 5 stars with a pinch of salt. I am a self-confessed EC freak. But really this is a great industrial cd for those of us who don't really take well to the Reznor's or Manson's of this world. Even "hardcore industrials" should be impressed. The whole cd from start to finish can best be described as "ambient". There's a certain Frontline Assembly quality to this album, and with good reason too because Rhys Fulber plays keys and produces it. Nowhere Now is the single best piece of industrial rock that has ever graced this earth. Both lyrically and musically. End of story. Emotional Stain is the only song I have heard so far that fits the category "industrial blues". . . I personally think a whole cd of Emotional Stain-like songs would be considered revolutionary. Sycophant is a great high-energy rocker that'll be sure to get you up and headbanging. The rest of the songs are brilliant also but I don't want to take up too much space! This cd, and their next cd The Devil You Know, are essential listening for any self-respecting industrial officionado. Their Most Cohesive Release The title of the disc describes its theme perfectly. If you're looking for the best in industrial music, from the heart, without any homicidal, psychotic, or sadomasochistic tendencies attached, this is a fine example of it. The production is assisted by Rhys Fulber of Delerium fame and fits Trevor's voice, lyrics, and music like a glove. The mastering is an early Bob Ludwig effort. To "A music fan from Connecticut": this album has absolutely nothing to do with the Nick Nolte film of the same name. You're looking for the soundtrack to that film, not this CD. .
