I am quite a big fan of ET9 and found this in the shops a few weeks ago. While 2 of the songs I already own on other albums I was still remarkably pleased with the single. The first track 'Tat twan asi' (Straight off 'arc'tan'gent') is a brilliant opener and easilly one of ET9's best songs with a chorus which is both long and memorable. 'Alpha Hi' is less memorable but still pretty good all the same, maintainng Earthtone9's unique style of weirdness. 'You again'(cover)is somewhat different but is still in the same vein and remains equally enjoyable. Vitriolic HSF2000 is just and updated version of a song off 'lof-def diskord' which has been made slightly sharper for this single, this is probably the worst track on the CD and is the reason I gave it 4 stars and not 5. While the song still remains enjoyable it is too short and does not live up to expectations created by the other 3 songs on the single.

Earthtone 9 are a band with a very new and interesting style which has yet to be noticed by the mass market. But songs like Tat Twan Asi make you confident that it will not be long before some more people wake up to ET9's unique style and they get the praise they deserve.

The ascendency of Earthtone9 will be done no end of good by this single, which will probably only be bought by about a thousand people at most, which is a crying shame, as it features the best song I've ever heard the band put their name too. 'Tat Twam Asi' is quite simply stunning. 5:38 of sheer genius and breathtaking excellence, superbly crafted, and featuring the biggest chorus ANY so-called 'nu-metal' has yet produced. The sheer melodic vocal power superimposed over a screamed background is exquisitely intense in its power, and deserves to make the band bigger than Korn. But just to reassure everyone, it still is as heart rendingly heavy as everyone expects. 'Alpha Hi' isn't as crushingly excellent as the previous track, but retains a beautiful mystical/ethno-tribal thing about it, which makes special. The shihad cover (apparently the best band on the planet, so speaketh the earthtone9 website) is a doomy affair, yet stamped indelibly with the earthtone9 signature, and therefore highly listenable. 'Vitriolic hsf' is a rerecording of the original song off 'lo-(definition) discord'. The band don't do anything remarkably spectacular with it, other than to generally clean it up and make it sound more ferocious, possibly just as a demonstration of the bands capabilities. No problem there, then...
