This has been a very much anticipated release for me. In the end it was a good result but their songs are just so short. Every song on this album is atleast under 2 minutes. Which isn't a bad thing for all the die-hard grind fans, but it leaves me wanting more. The packaging is typical Blood Duster and the production is excellent. The goofiness is still in the lyrics and in the pre-song intros. This album was definately taken more seriously than their others.
If they would write longer songs they would be on my top 5 list. They are an awesome band but I think they sell themselves short. They have this great groove that gives them an almost Eyehategod feel but then the next second they're doing this insane blast beat. The drummer has some crazy fills on track 17 I think.
If you are a Blood Duster fan then this is the Blood Duster album for you. Alot more serious than their other releases but with the same whackiness that you've grown to love them for.

Get over the fact that the songs are too short, thats Blood Duster, and any true fan would realise that their songs ARE getting longer, listen to Yeest or Fisting the Dead, and you'll see. This album is wicked, catchy, heavy grinding beats which are guaranteed to get u pumped for a fight, all this plus funny intros and lyrics (dont say its too hard to understand, if u feel that way ur not a death metal fan). Top marks, along with all their other albums.Check out Damaged, another great Aussie band

I always wanted Blood Duster to write longer songs. I always thought that I would like them more if they did. Well, I have come to realize that they don't need to write longer songs or change anything for that matter. Not being a fan of short songs I skeptically listened to them and was still craving more after the one listen. I found myself playing the CD repeatedly maybe 4 or 5 times in a row just to get the satisfaction of listening to it over and over again. It all made sense to me now. Blood Duster are the masters of writing short songs. No matter how short or fast the song is, it is complete. This album has great grooves that force my fist to hit the dashboard repeatedly when I listen to this in my girlfriend's car. I wish I had the chance to see them live, cause if they have as much energy live as they do on this album then it would definitely be worth flying to Australia to check them out. This is undoubedtly one of my favorite albums and I think it's going to be hard to ever top it.
Honestly though, do not pass this by.

First and foremost, Blood Duster is possibly the best name for a metal band ever. I am not quite sure what a blood duster would be and how one would go about dusting that blood, but the name stands as a perfect representation of the band's musical style and attitude.

Now onto other things. This album is short. Very short. However, this does in no way mean that the intensity is mitigated in any way. Every song reeks with a disgusting intensity, unlike any I have seen in any other band. Sure, they don't take themselves at all seriously. Watch the video of Porn Store Stiffi for the confirmation. They know that they are funny and they know that they are shameless, lewd and frankly revolting.

The quotes from movies are well chosen and are almost as enjoyable to listen to as the actual songs themselves. They serve as excellent preludes for what is to come. It is especially fun to play them really loud in a car and drive next to old people, but that is neither here nor there.

All that really matters, is that this is a great album. The music is catchy and memorable, the lyrics are funny and revolting, the attitude is carefree and reckless. What more could you possibly want in a metal album. This band shows that you don't need to overdo it like Immortal or Manowar to be a metal great, instead you can do whatever it is that you like, even if that mean wading knee deep in menstural blood or hanging out in porn stores.

Track 10 is my fav cuz man, it's so right on the money. You want it, we want it, so letsall****!

these album is one of the greatest i dont care what anybody says ok cu#ts these guys are insane funny and sick as hell buy thses cd now you will love it the music is grind core death metal with period blood

Blood Duster are supposed to make scary metal, but they are bad at what they do.

If this work had even made a slight attempt at irony it would have earned a second star. However, it appears they are as joylessly self absorbed with the *s*i*g*n*i*f*i*c*a*n*c*e* of their art that it remains without appeal except to the airplane-glue-in-a-greasy-paper-sack crowd of metal enthusiasts. Bad three cord thrash with obvious time changes, overfuzzed glotteral lyrics muffled through Peter's Type-O-Negative corpse and Sisters of Mercy style p*ssy Goth, and lyrics designed to be the Norse Nightmare version of Rap's misogyny. If Blood Duster have missed a cliché it is so blindingly obvious it vapor trailed into the general huff. This is the music you enjoy if your hormones are steering you towards a trapped life spent in thankless invisible backbreaking labor while a grinding disrespect of yourself steers you to the hell you worshiped with an unimaginative adolescent rebelliousness which you scarcely paused to contemplate, much less comprehend.

This is bad music, trying to be scary music, but ends in just contempt, since it isn't music, but just a dung pile of cliches.

Flatulant dogs have made more significant art.
