"This album came to me in a used-record-store 25$ grab bag in 1999. Of the 30 or so cd's stashed inside, this excellent album is the only one that did not get tossed in the rubbish. From the uniquely heavy opening tracks 'Insomniac' & 'Surreal', I was instantly hooked. No snoozer here, as the music style jumped from metal to a sex-pistols' type of anarchist punk in at least 3 anti-police tracks. 'Scottsdale' proves to be the favorite here, with hilarious social commentary in the lyrics giving a full thrashing to the pathetic 'gangsta' scene of the late 90's.
All this combined with tight production & a unique sound makes this a must-have in any rock/alt collection."
