Eschewing the rigid structure that saw them on the receiving end of a whole truckload of critical flack with _The Negation_, it's clear from moment the record rockets off the starting grid that the biggest differences to emerge from the Decapitated melting pot aren't exclusively centred around new boy-behind-the-microphone Covan's distinctly more intelligible and commanding vocals. Throughout the course of the record, the band flirt with a host of fresh ideas, ranging from peculiar and highly effective melodies to an almost Schuldiner-like flair for progression. The likes of "Post Organic" and "Invisible Control" are perfect examples of the evolutionary strides that _Organic Hallucinosis_ has taken over its predecessors; initially taking some getting used to, but repaying in kind after successive listens.

Unfortunately the experience is concluded all too soon, and with just over a half hour's worth of material across seven tracks, _Organic Hallucinosis_ is more on a par with many of EPs coming out of the woodwork of late. That it should suggest that Decapitated are far from running out of steam though is beyond debate.
