5.0 out of 5 stars Top Notch Throw Back Jams, December 1, 2003

By	"chicagofin" (Chicago) - See all my reviews

For any fans of Sister Machine Gun circa early thru mid 90s, Influence will be the best thing your ears have heard since they went independent. For those who have never experienced the genius of the Chicago based industrial mayhem, what have you been waiting for?
Influence magically combines hypnotic beats, riviting guitar distortion, and symphonic programming into the industrial masterpiece of 2003. I'd offer an analogy or comparison, but it's uniqueness requires a listen to finalize your opinion.

5.0 out of 5 stars Memories...Reborn, December 5, 2003

By A Customer

I grew up during the height of the Wax Trax! heyday, taking solace in all those classic discs throughout my high school years. To say that I was thrilled with the new SMG, which harkens back to those days is a true understatement.

I don't know what I could say that hasn't already been said much more eloquently by other reviewers other than this: this is very easily one of the best records of the year, and is right up there with "Metropolis" as one of SMG's best releases ever. I waas compelled from beginning to end, and this is one disc that is going to be in every CD player I own (home, car, discman) for many, many years to come.

If you're sitting on the fence about this one, do yourself a favor and buy it. Chris and Miguel have turned out a fantastic disc that recalls the past and steps into the future at the same time. My hat goes off to both of them, and again, buy the record! You will not regret it one iota.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy this album, December 24, 2003

By	D. MacKinnon "diablerie" (Denver, CO USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Do yourself a favor and pick up this CD. Sister Machine Gun goes back to it's roots on Influence and the results are a CD that sounds like Wax Trax era industrial updated for the new millennium.
