A terrific album

"This is truly a great album. It combines industrial style beats and sampling with pure punk aggression. There is not a bad song on the album. Super Cool Nothing seems more complete than 16 volts previous records (which I also highly reccommend). Each track makes sense and leads you into the next. This is easily the best album I bought in 1998.It's very sad that 16 volt broke up and we will not be able to hear any new music.If you like any kind of industrial, punk or other aggressive music you will certainly enjoy this album."
Favourite CD of all time

"I've been a fan of 16 Volt since Wisdom, and they've steadily improved as they wrote and released more material. On this CD, I feel that the band (mainly Eric Powell) were really onto something huge. Every tune is unique, spanning a broad range of influences and styles. Songs like Moutheater, Happy Pill, And I go ... No one else has created sounds or tunes like these. The appearance of Chris Vrenna (former NIN drummer) really adds a whole new dimension to the 16 Volt phenomenon. It's an abslute travesty that Eric has called it quits. Appropriately, however, Supercoolnothing is certainly the masterpiece that I anticipated; a perfect capper for a string of amazing records. Eric, if you ever happen to read this ... 'This won't destroy me.' You said it yourself. So don't let it happen."
Man, its impossible to do this justice

"Each and every Rivethead out there, and even metalheads, take not of this. SuperCoolNothing is an artistic masterpiece. Raging riffs, sinister, nursery rhyme like vocals, equal mix of electronic industrial soundscapes, everything. This is a fantastic finale to a great career, and though its sound is totally different to the awesome "Wisdom", its a perfect album.
(just a note... it wasnt a "team" which created wisdom, Keith "fluffy" Auberach of Ministry left halfway through the production of wisdom leaving it to Dave Ogilvie of Skinny Puppy)"
