A fun album. I like the folky elements mixed in with the alternative/industrial metal riffs. This band needs more exposure.

This album is excellent no matter how you look at it, and it's a pity that it doesn't get the attention it deserves.

To me, it sounds like Mushroomhead. Nothing extravagant here, and Mushroom have already defined what it all needed.

Of course, this has a lot in common with mushroomhead. But for me, the advantage of this album is that they used a more concise length to express enough things, so that there is almost no feeling of procrastination when listening from beginning to end. Speaking of this album alone, to me it sounds better than most of mh's albums. What's more, this band also has special elements of national music, so the two still have significant differences and their respective audience groups.

Mushroom was far ahead of what this album encompasses whatsoever. It does resonate a lot to Korn as well, but I didn't find anything that minimize Mushroom's offerings.
