If it wasn't for the damn clean vocals being lame and the stigma around them, this album would be good and getting decent reviews.

It's silly, there aren't even that many of them.

People saying the vocals sound like JFAC, they don't.
The album is full of breakdowns, it's not.

So, I've listened twice, and it really isn't that bad. A small change in direction, meh, it's Whisper Supremacy after None So Vile all over again. Even the clean vox sort of work in context. Congrats, Flo, you've won me over.

Wrote a short review for MA to counteract all the hyper-emo crap being written there atm, should be up soonish.

:mad: It wasn't that bad! Conspiracy!


Tell 'em who you write for :wink: . *thinks of asking if you could show us this, then remembers the rule*

But seriously, some awful reviews get posted up there. It couldn't have been that bad, could it?

Nah, deleted it by now anyway. You'll just have to wait for MR's final word on it.

Edit: I'm starting to think that MR is one of the few places on the net that likes TUK.

I'll have to have a listen. Seeing as I was one of the few people that didn't spit blackened blood at JFAC (who this seems to be being compared to, whether that's right or not)

It really isn't that bad so far. A few stupid bits, and at times they desperately want to be Meshuggah, but nothing like you'd expect from the shit chucked at it. Although the keys are so quiet it's barely worth having them there.

I'd give it around a 5/10. It's weird and pretty bad, but there are some good riffs here,

Ill give it a 70/100. It would have been a 60/100 +10 to defend the path they took, always room for improvement anyways.

3/10. It would be higher but the whole business leaves me with no desire to listen to it in the future.

1/10 or something. The vocals make an otherwise subpar album totally unlistenable.

It takes a swan dive in quality after the first three songs. It absolutely must be listened to in its entirety a least once though.

Y'know, the vocalist really is dreadful. WTF is 'Leach' all about, eh? That's just not on.

So... uh... what was the point of adding a keyboardist if she's hardly there? For image?
