So if you loved the industrial metal of the first two albums, you ought to enjoy this one. As other reviewers have pointed out, the keyboards are more prominent here, but otherwise, it's that Deathstars sound - anthems filled with determination - you know and love.

GLORIA ROMANA SUCIU-THE QUEEN OF METAL GOD-ROB HALFORD

Heavy guitars, low, disturbing (in a good way) vocals, and lyrics that don't always make perfect sense, makes for a really good album. Just as strong as their last album, Termination Bliss (also an awesome listen) and even more polished. This is not to be missed.

Great music. I mean, just great. Production and recording, guitars and everything. Even the lyrics are nice and dark and weird - even silly at times. They definitely have some 69 Eyes influence going on. But for what it's worth - the vocals i.e. "Lead Singer" doesn't really sing at all, it's like he's reading lines in a play trying to be the evil dracula guy. But I guess that's the point here. So it's fun once you get over the non-singing voice and embrace this for the dark fun that it is. It's like a carnival gone evil because they summonded the dark lord himself, but the circus kept performing. Enjoy the dark weirdness of this album if you are into that stuff. HIM, 69 Eyes, Sisters of Mercy, Type 0 Negative. Deathstars sound is unique thanks to the spoken deep lyrics and deserves a full listen to embrace what they are trying to do. Music that drowns my soul in darkness.... not a bad thing :-)

Reviews here draw very innaccurate comparisons. it sounds sort of like rammstein meets norther with elements of goth and pop. if you dont know norther think children of bodom but slower and less thrashy. its european melodic death metal!! they are from sweden and all the members played in other death metal bands. the singing is in english and the lyrics are more interesting and fun than rammstein. they also scream more than ramm. one, maybe two songs that arent excellent. very solid cd. dont compare to marilyn m. these guys are musicians not a circus act. well a bit of a circus act but mainly musicians. very unique and nearly perfectly executed.

The good part is, a return to keyboards, on this record, which makes up a big part of their sound, in a style, somewhat like Gary Numan. The music itself, although interesting, was somewhat lacking, in other areas. The members of Deathstars looks like five Marilyn Mansons' heavy makeup, and almost matching uniforms.

a friend of mine turned me on to The Deathstars back when they released their debut album Synthetic Generation. i've been a huge fan of these guys since, and for me Deathstars sound only improves with every album. if you like Marilyn Manson, or Rammstein, or you're just someone who's searching for a great sounding band, i highly recommend buying this album!! or any Deathstars album, you'll not only come to love them but i guarantee you'll be turning your friends on to these guys as well.

I bought this because some reviewers said that fans of Marilyn Manson would like this. The main singer has a pretty good voice, but after a while, it all sounded the same. I'd probably recommend NIGHT ELECTRIC NIGHT!!!

UNBELIEVABLE ALBUM!!! I thought there was no way that Deathstars could rival their last album Termination Bliss but they did. It is fun to watch this band grow up before my eyes and gain a following. I have been pushing Deathstars here in America for years. BUY THIS ALBUM! Every song is great and Whiplasher is amazing as usual. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

So this album is awsome if you like marlyin manson cof, cob etc you will probably like these guys the songs are amazing and intense. you will get hte music stuck in your head but thats ok :)
