"This Waking Moment" starts off like Portishead on the back of a bad acid trip, then turns into full-blown death/doom, before being carried off by a beautifully ethereal chorus. By sharp contrast, "Skinless" is a sprawling, hectic ode to the apocalypse -- like a showdown of epic proportions between Atari Teenage Riot and Dying Fetus. Not every track is as successful: "Cause" suffers from what can only be described as a case of mislaid identity, and the album does struggle to maintain the momentum of its initial impact as it draws to a close. The overall result leaves enough of a last impression to have Marilyn Manson's juvenile fans wetting their beds for months however, and leave the rest of us grinning from ear to ear.
