I remember being blown out by Genghis Tron's debut Ep "Cloak Of Love", their insane mixture of rabid Grindcore and electronic elements such as synthpop and drum n' bass was a thing totally new to my ears, it was an innovative piece and deserved all my attention.
Now I'm in front of the debut full-length of the band, entitled "Dead Mountain Mouth". After the first listen I must say I'm not that impressed. The first thing that caught my attention is the whole mix of styles, while in "Cloak Of Love" the clashing genres (Grindcore Vs Electronica) were juxtaposed, here are merged into one. While the Ep gave each genre a space to dwell, here the two genres coexist in the same layer.

This is easily their best work. More electronic and grind-oriented than the second album. Weird representation of the albums here if you look at the rating though as this is having a lower score. "Electro SynthPop Grindcore" though? Wonder if it came directly from the official release or someone just described it that way.

Haven't listened to these guys in a while and I totally forgot how great this album is. Some of the best wacky grindcore out there.

Man... I can't fucking believe that only NOW I listen to this for the first time in full. This is 15 years old but sounds fucking new even today. Sick! I'm gonna do a lot of relistenings now because this could turn into a 9 at any minute.

Listen to Board Up The House as well. A fair bit different than this one to my ears, and nearly just as good.

Still haven't heard that one despite me founding a copy of it and of this one some months ago at a second hand store. Will try to make some time asap.
