The same excellent production techniques as Filth always displays are used here with an incredibly overdriven sound which tickles my ear drums.<\/p>\n<p>Side B is split into two tracks but it&#8217;s somewhat difficult to tell how it&#8217;s divided on sound alone because there are a few pauses which could stop or start the tracks. I really enjoy most of the material here except when there is overuse of drum samples formed into a kind of electro beat even making use of some cheesy canned record scratching samples. It seems really out of place and totally breaks the mood for me.<\/p>\n<p>Overall a good tape except for the weird electro breakdown on side B which just breaks the consistency in sound and atmosphere. Recommended for fans of industrial noise with rhythmic tendencies.<\/p>\n<table width=\"35%\" border=\"0\">\n<tr>\n<td width=\"40%\" align=\"right\">Composition:<\/td>\n<td width=\"60%\" ><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/existest.org\/ee_v3\/wp-content\/plugins\/star-rating-for-reviews\/images\/star.png\" alt=\"&#9733;\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/existest.org\/ee_v3\/wp-content\/plugins\/star-rating-for-reviews\/images\/star.png\" alt=\"&#9733;\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/existest.org\/ee_v3\/wp-content\/plugins\/star-rating-for-reviews\/images\/star.png\" alt=\"&#9733;\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/existest.org\/ee_v3\/wp-content\/plugins\/star-rating-for-reviews\/images\/halfstar.png\" alt=\"&frac12;\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/existest.org\/ee_v3\/wp-content\/plugins\/star-rating-for-reviews\/images\/blankstar.png\" alt=\"&#9734;\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"right\" >Sounds:<\/td>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/existest.org\/ee_v3\/wp-content\/plugins\/star-rating-for-reviews\/images\/star.png\" alt=\"&#9733;\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/existest.org\/ee_v3\/wp-content\/plugins\/star-rating-for-reviews\/images\/star.png\" alt=\"&#9733;\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/existest.org\/ee_v3\/wp-content\/plugins\/star-rating-for-reviews\/images\/star.png\" alt=\"&#9733;\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/existest.org\/ee_v3\/wp-content\/plugins\/star-rating-for-reviews\/images\/blankstar.png\" alt=\"&#9734;\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/existest.org\/ee_v3\/wp-content\/plugins\/star-rating-for-reviews\/images\/blankstar.png\" alt=\"&#9734;\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"right\" >Production Quality:<\/td>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/existest.org\/ee_v3\/wp-content\/plugins\/star-rating-for-reviews\/images\/star.png\" alt=\"&#9733;\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/existest.org\/ee_v3\/wp-content\/plugins\/star-rating-for-reviews\/images\/star.png\" alt=\"&#9733;\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/existest.org\/ee_v3\/wp-content\/plugins\/star-rating-for-reviews\/images\/star.png\" alt=\"&#9733;\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/existest.org\/ee_v3\/wp-content\/plugins\/star-rating-for-reviews\/images\/halfstar.png\" alt=\"&frac12;\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/existest.org\/ee_v3\/wp-content\/plugins\/star-rating-for-reviews\/images\/blankstar.png\" alt=\"&#9734;\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"right\" >Concept:<\/td>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/existest.org\/ee_v3\/wp-content\/plugins\/star-rating-for-reviews\/images\/star.png\" alt=\"&#9733;\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/existest.org\/ee_v3\/wp-content\/plugins\/star-rating-for-reviews\/images\/star.png\" alt=\"&#9733;\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/existest.org\/ee_v3\/wp-content\/plugins\/star-rating-for-reviews\/images\/star.png\" alt=\"&#9733;\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/existest.org\/ee_v3\/wp-content\/plugins\/star-rating-for-reviews\/images\/blankstar.png\" alt=\"&#9734;\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/existest.org\/ee_v3\/wp-content\/plugins\/star-rating-for-reviews\/images\/blankstar.png\" alt=\"&#9734;\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"right\" >Packaging:<\/td>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/existest.org\/ee_v3\/wp-content\/plugins\/star-rating-for-reviews\/images\/star.png\" alt=\"&#9733;\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/existest.org\/ee_v3\/wp-content\/plugins\/star-rating-for-reviews\/images\/star.png\" alt=\"&#9733;\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/existest.org\/ee_v3\/wp-content\/plugins\/star-rating-for-reviews\/images\/star.png\" alt=\"&#9733;\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/existest.org\/ee_v3\/wp-content\/plugins\/star-rating-for-reviews\/images\/blankstar.png\" alt=\"&#9734;\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/existest.org\/ee_v3\/wp-content\/plugins\/star-rating-for-reviews\/images\/blankstar.png\" alt=\"&#9734;\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"right\" >Overall Rating:<\/td>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/existest.org\/ee_v3\/wp-content\/plugins\/star-rating-for-reviews\/images\/star.png\" alt=\"&#9733;\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/existest.org\/ee_v3\/wp-content\/plugins\/star-rating-for-reviews\/images\/star.png\" alt=\"&#9733;\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/existest.org\/ee_v3\/wp-content\/plugins\/star-rating-for-reviews\/images\/star.png\" alt=\"&#9733;\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/existest.org\/ee_v3\/wp-content\/plugins\/star-rating-for-reviews\/images\/blankstar.png\" alt=\"&#9734;\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/existest.org\/ee_v3\/wp-content\/plugins\/star-rating-for-reviews\/images\/blankstar.png\" alt=\"&#9734;\" \/> <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Filth &#8211;
