4.0 out of 5 stars Better than Kittie and Otep combined, October 6, 2004

This is their most consistent album so far and easily the best. While Karyn's voice may not be the prettiest, it's certainly the loudest, and these songs showcase the wide variety of styles she commands - screaming, growling, yelping, and her surprisingly soft, high-pitched singing voice. Overall the production is very loud and garagey, with fuzzy guitars and boomy drums and ear-shredding, slightly overdriven vocals. It's a dark, angry mix of death and doom, although it goes so far beyond the confines of those two genres that it becomes impossible to classify. It's Crisis at their best, and that's all you need to know.

I can't say enough about this band. I think they are hands down one of the most innovative and unique bands on the planet and will probably never get the recognition they deserve as they are so widely misunderstood. The vocalist (Karyn Crisis) alone would be enough to carry this band, she has a range that defies logic when you hear it, but the band members, each and every one of them, are very talented and lend a huge variety of influences to the music that makes up for a whole that to me, is breathtakingly intense and savagely beautiful. I could ramble on about them but I think I can make my point best by saying, "Buy this CD".

I was fortunate enough to bare witness to Crisis, opening for Soulfly at The Chance in Poughkeepsie, NY. Mesmerizing and annihilating. Karyn Crisis is a force of reckoning. Animated and carried aloft by the pristine power of her band, she employs every vocal acrobatic to full extreme: from innocent little girl to wrathful Fury, and every nuance in between. Like Sheep To Slaughter is Crisis' best sounding effort by far, and a most shining achievement in the realm of heavy music. It is one of those rare CDs that you can't wait to get home from work and listen to. It is the culmination of over a decade of music from this band, drawing from every previous influence (Middle Eastern, Baroque, Death Metal), and melting it down to a brutally unrelenting tincture. Thank you Crisis, for reinforcing my undying love for heavy music.
