"Wow, interesting stuff here. I, personally, love this kind of music. This is the first thing of Phobia's that I have ever heard, and I must say, it is very good. Very fast crust core with grind influenced riffs weave in and out of the songs on here, with the vocalist grunting and screaming his way through lyrics. The drums are phenomenol; while most music like this just pounds the listener with incessant double bass drumming, usually by a drum machine, the drums on this are used with precision and force. You here them, but they blend in with everything else, so it complements the whole song, just like it should. The only drawback to this cd is the length. Ten songs sounds good, but the total time is only seventeen minutes long. Mind you, that does not take anything away from this release; it only ends the fun quicker. This is definately for the listener who likes Benumb but wants their songs to be longer (the songs on this are about a minute and a half long), and for a depressed Brutal Truth fan who is upset that they broke up. Get this and feel the fear."
