5.0 out of 5 stars A Beautiful Listening Experience, April 29, 2002

By	"onidsnave" (Ontario, CA United States) - See all my reviews

A punishing disk. stripped down, dirty, and brutal...it loosens fillings,fuses vertebrae,causes nosebleeds...everything I could ask for. In particular, Get Away, SOS, and Body Bomb provide a perfect soundtrack to bludgeoning (this is a good thing!)
A great companion on long stretches of highway.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unsane get gloomy, but the results are still painful., May 10, 1999

By A Customer

This isn't your typical Unsane album. The songs are slow, plodding, the drums and vocals buried in the mix, with a guitar strung with screen-door wire. But it works. This is their last recording with original bassist Pete Shore, and the first since the death of original drummer Charlie Ondras. The record is like a funeral and a divorce at the same time: you've just lost someone and you feel another loss coming. It's dark, brooding, and very punishing. Songs like "Broke," "Black Book" and "Get Away" deliver the usual Unsane thwack, but on closer inspection, "Throw it Away" approaches being beautiful, and "S.O.S." is almost an easy-going rock song. Almost. Maybe not pure Unsane, but this record is a post-punk classic.

4.0 out of 5 stars beautiful train derailment, October 18, 2006

By	Stargrazer "the lost mixtape of my life" (deep in the heart of Michigan) - See all my reviews

The reigning monarchs of noise rock return from a particularly difficult and painful chapter in their history with a grindingly melodic, pummeling set of songs. A very rewarding listen.
