this is a great cd. its obvious that they spent a long time on this in the studio, and i'm curious as to how it sounds live. This isn't as technical as sweet and innocent, but it isn't as catchy either. I have yet to hear a bad mad sin album (I too have all of 'em and i love each and every one) and this is no exception, doubters be damned!

This was the third Mad Sin CD I bought. I think there was a big progression between Loud and Dirty to Survival of the Sickest to The Dead Moon Calling. The Loud and Dirty CD was raw and not as good. Survival or the Sickest was a better CD with better songs and the Dead Moon Calling is down right excellent. Survival of the Sickest does have some awesome songs though. It's down right psycho! It's full of Slap Bass and Screaming Vocals. If you are starting out with Mad Sin buy Dead Moon Calling. If you already own that CD but this one! It's a little less than that one but it still sounds good! Their older CDs are good too but I wouldn't start off with them. Acquire a taste for Mad Sin first and then dig deeper into their archive!

This was the first Mad Sin album I ever got around to getting. My first time listening to it, I was blown away. Then, in April '06, I got a chance to see Mad Sin play in NYC-they played a few songs off of this album-and they are done well live. Since getting this album, I've gotten around to getting "Break the Rules" and "Amphigory"-neither of which are as up-tempo as this one. I'm going to try to get two other Mad Sin albums-"Dead Moon's Calling" and "God Save the Sin" to see what I think-but this album is AMAZING and in my personal opinion am not sure if any of their other stuff will stand up to this release.
The first track, "Communication Breakdown" sets the tone for the whole album-and is probably one of my favourites. If I had to pick the best three songs, I'd have to say "Communication Breakdown", "1000 Eyes", and "Sin Is Law(Racket In 711)".
This album has since segwayed me to other psycho bands-the Meteors, Demented Are Go!, Koffin Kats, Demented Scumcats, Klingonz, etc etc. I love 'em all, all thanks to this Mad Sin release getting me interested

This wasn't the first Mad Sin cd I listened to, but I think it has got to be one of the best. I like the way they sound on this album, because their older stuff was rather boring in my opinion. I haven't heard any other psychobilly cds that sound like this, and in my opinion, they don't even come close to Tiger Army, this is much better. I was also surprised to hear how good the vocals are. I highly recommend this album and you won't be disappointed. Also, thank god they aren't on MTV, because that would be like self suicide for this band.

Awesome tracks of raw psychobilly. Rev. Horton Heat was the first experience I had years ago, and his band is awesome too!
Here are the tracks, since Amazon got lazy on this one:
01 Communication Breakdown
02 Revenge
03 Sin Is Law
04 Nothing's Alright
05 1000 Eyes
06 Conquer The World
07 Sweet Caroline
08 Psycho Sideshow
09 Love Is Dead

11 She's So Bad It's Good
12 Senseless Species
13 Dangerzone
14 Delirium
15 Bloody Monday
16 Class Warpath

This is probably one of the best cds i have heard period. Its a close call between this one and God save the sin but i think this one wins. I have all 8 mad sin cds and this is the best. For those who are worried this one sounds nothing like sweet and innocent(their worst cd)

I'd heard good reviews of Mad Sin, so I decided to check out this album... Boy do I regret that. I am a fan of psychobilly, and this is far from it. It sounds like a horrible, poppy mix of Sum 41, AFI, hard rock and some kind of drunk pirate. It has its moments, but I would stay away from this one unless you are a real fan. I did get "God Save The Sin", which is an impressive release from these guys. I would reccommend that one instead, especially if you're an actual psycho fan. I guess if you are a fan of more mainstream music this could be for you. I can imagine songs from this CD being played on the alternative radio station...
