90s rock

I didnt really like this album the first couple of times I heard it on my walkman. Its now one of my favorite albums to play in my car very loud. This album should only be listened too loud. It sounds like a live concert on cd more than any other band Ive heard. IMO its something like Helmet, Thursday + Metallica black combined. Buy this album if you like to listen too good music loud.

A band Overlooked in the 90's

I discovered this band by accident. In 93, I went to see White Zombie and Anthrax little did I know that these guys were the opening band. The came out and ROCKED! The next day I bought the album. Still to this day I listen to the album Slip. I love the first song, Fazer, because that is the first song they played live.

one of the best albums i own

this is easily one of the best album is own. i got it in 93 when it arrived. at the time i had been into gorilla biscuits and had even gotten my hand on some moondog, which essentially became quicksand. the first 7" was great too, check revelation records, a great thourough company. two of those songs ended up here, but completists should really search out the song "clean slate" cuz that is definitely an awesome song that should've been on this album too. but i digress...this album dropped, and at first i was a little skeptical. i wanted something more metalish, like sick of it all, or, you know, hardcore. but the music and the melodies stuck in my head, and thier power....i went back to listen to those songs over and over, and through consecutive visits i had found that i was completely obsessed with this album. it is some of the most driving and dynamic music that exists even now. the sound is just so big, and walter schreiffels voice is off sync and on sync with the beat in a way that his singing is almost rhythmic. he build up each verse, stacking words and lyrical content while the bass and drums thunder and shift and the guitars just buzz and vibrate until its ready to swirl through the roof and youre just washing around in this room of sound and driving bass. and those cold cold vocals. almost detached, but listen to the lyrics, not detached, well observed, almost a narrative feel of the events that play as analogies. the guitar solos are some of the most unique ive heard. they are never embarrasing or over-wrought. and tom capone is chilling in his delivery.

if you missed them when they were around then you shoudl certainly have this album. comparisons to fugazi are not too off, there is a shared dynamic there, but their emotional strength and delivery lies next to that of tool. i listened to it recently and keep it in my rotation...in fact, this may be the second time i am reviewing this record. who knows...buy it.
