This review is from: Industrial Strength (Audio CD)

... this disc suffers from too few innovations (the fact of there being three versions of George Michael's "I Want Your Sex" contributes to that). The music is "coldwave" industrial with quasi-trip-hop beats in it (as seems to be the style in industrial nowadays). Cleaner sounds something like what Tool would sound like if Tool decided to be an actual industrial band, rather than a metal band with industrial leanings. Both bands are dominated by "chugga-chugga" guitar riffs and a thick undercurrent of bass. "Condemned to Burn" is all vocal samples about burning heretics and witches -- no lyrics. While it is an okay, short (about half-an-hour long) album, the best Cleaner song I've heard, "Boogie Down," is, unfortunately, not on it. But if you like heavy guitars and ridiculing George Michael, this might be the CD for you.
