They tread skilfully between mid-paced heaviness and furious onslaught, and provide enough variety to keep you very much interested until the (silly named) closer "Coat-Hanger Massacre". Talking about silly names, I do understand this is a death/grind band and that there is a certain image they would have to live up to in order to court with the likes of Cannibal Corpse et al, but song names like "Sulphuric Semen" or "Toxic Bowel Movement" are rather childish. Fortunately, this is really my only criticism in an otherwise superb first album. Even the production is top notch and fitting to the sound the band is aiming for.

If you like this sort of style of metal, you will love _Applied Schizophrenic Science_; but even if you are a fan of the genres peripheral to death, chances are your time and money might be worth the effort. One for the mosh pit.
