04:14 - psykometal Yea, it's a real shame that iTunes is a top entertainment technology company and yet their online music downloads are VBR compression.
04:09 - Unhealer @InnerSelf, awesome track indeed. The rawness reminds me to Ihsahn's "The Grave"
03:59 - huascaman I can't imagine the new COB not being worth getting. Wouldn't buy it from itunes though.
This album is an explosion. City is the musical equivalent of a nuclear warhead detonating directly into your eardrums. Few other albums can bend and blur the borders of genres like City; the result is a crushing, homicidal whirlwind of extreme hardcore blackened death doom thrash grind industrial carpet bombing. From the first pounding, metallic second of "Velvet Kevorkian" to the final droning, haunting moment of "Spirituality," Strapping Young Lad's sophomore effort is a nonstop roller coaster ride through the darker half of Devin Townsend's manic depression.
Would prolly be a 10 if it didnt end on such a weird note (429 is strange....still good and then spirituality is kinda boring) Im a firm believer that the last song should sum up the album...instead of being a "closer".
Excellent album by SYL. Probably one of the craziest ventures through music i have had the pleasure of experiencing, but even Room 429 seemed to fit the atmosphere that the rest of this album created perfectly\m/
How is the remaster compared to the original? Is it worth me getting (aside from the bonus tracks) Im talking about the original songs production quality

Very excellent! Its musical madness from the first second on, but i just cant listen to this album in one loop. When it goes to Industrial, City for sure belongs to the best.
