What can I say? If this is your type of music, then you'll love it. If you loved Dub Trio's older stuff, this is a nice next step. The influence of touring with peeping Tom peeks out a little here, but that's a good thing. More of the same from DT, but definitely shows some growth from their other albums...

I came across this disc when I was checking out my recommendations here at Amazon. I heard a small sample and was sold instantly. I love this recording. There is no one else out there doing what they are doing, and that is combining dub and metal. A strange combo that works well. If you like dub music, then I extremely suggest giving this a chance. If you like experimental metal then this should be right up your alley. If you just like music with no words, this recording will fit perfectly in your collection. I hope that you enjoy this as much as I do.

Update:
I just experienced them live and it was one of the best live shows I have seen. The musicianship of these guys are outstanding. The drummer is constantly changing it up yet it's flawless with the recording, and that includes all the effects he randomly assigns to his drums. The guitar work was just as flawless using all his petals and just solid timing. The bass of course is just as flawless but more of a feeling than a sound. Because of this adventure Dub Trio are now one of my favorite bands.

Sounds like old Dub Trio, but heavier? Well, the track Mortar Dub sounds more like the Dub Trio of the past, but I don't think it is this band's intention to rehash their old sound on this album. On Another Sound is Dying monster rock riffs meld into delayed dub experimentation and hints of Meshuggah's time shifting overlapping grooves (especially on tracks 14 and 9, the later featuring Mike Patton's guttural vocal styling).There is definitely humor in Dub Trio's interpretation of metal as intense double bass drum and distorted guitar attacks turn to sparse down tempo drum and bass passages with ambient guitar experimentations. A flanged tape delayed timbale. Is that a guitar or not? Sub bass growls. Electronic manipulation of all instruments. There is a surprise on every track. For those who like the past Dub Trio's heavier records like Cool Out and Coexist, you will love this record. For those who thought that dubbed out instrumental hard rock was an impossibility, do check out this album, be amazed of the sound a guitar a bass and drum set can make, and support on the best underground (but hopefully not for long) band out there.
