5.0 out of 5 stars indispensable, March 9, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: At Fiftieth Gate (Audio CD)

this is, without a doubt, my favorite attrition album. 'at the fiftieth gate' is attrition at their melodic, song-writing-oriented best. it contains several danceable classics, like death truck and the title track, as well as containing some one-time-only diversions, e.g. the brillian 'milano (auto italian).'

this particular re-issue includes a bonus 12 inch that rounds out an already wonderful album. sideways glance, to the devil, take five, and shotgun dream are all great songs that have been difficult to find until now.

the layers of rythm and music on this album will keep any decent listener's interest for (as near as i can tell) eternity. 'at the fiftieth gate' is an indispensable part of any self-respecting synth-pop, darkwave, or industrial collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars I think of this as the canonical Attrition album, February 5, 2009

Quite catchy on some of the tracks, including the title track, Haydn (or mine), and Death Truck. Attrition is generally classified as a Goth band, but some of their material is more interesting and experimental than that, but many of their songs can be appreciated by a more general audience. This disk is poppy enough for radio play, but never compromised by designing it for such play.
