Many of these tracks are just from the other CD, "Soak." The tracks are all good (the ones from "Soak," except the different mix of "Me Compassionate" on Flywatt isn't as good), but the tracks that differ between the two CDs make "Soak" the better album. See my review of "Soak" for more info, give "Aphrodight," "Shuttergut," and "Transcindental Drift" a listen.

I always hear something new and different when I listen to this group. they have really grown on me. Everytime I put one of their songs on a variety tape someone always gets all excited and asks me 'who does this song?'. I base my rating on the fact that I can listen to the entire album and not get bored. It keeps me up and keeps me rolling along. I especially like to use the 'Shutter Gut' track on my 'spinning' (Johnny G Spinning )tapes (( for working out...good sprint song)) Inspirational to keep in your head while biking. Highly recommend it.

Soak's albums walk the thin line between agression and melody and combine grunge, punk, alternative, and industrial influences to create a sound unlike any other. Gravity Kills meets the Nixons meets Mudhoney. Incredible.

This is pretty much the same album the band released a couple of years ago on a different label. A couple of new songs which are not very good. A couple of remixes to songs that should of been left alone because the previous mixes were better. It is obvious that Sire records is trying to break the band on the last album which saved them money in the long run but I feel has hurt the band with their already established fan base. It also makes me wonder if the band has any really good new songs. By evidence of the new songs such as "Do It" it doesn't sound like they do. I find this extremely disappointing because I really loved the last one, I just found nothing new on this one that would make me pick up the next. From a band point of view, How they could let old songs get re-released as a new album I find shameful, because you owe it to yourself as an artist to continue to grow. What's next guys a greatest hits package!
