Despised Icon's Alexandre Pelletier proves an ace session drummer, pummeling and propelling his way through a gauntlet of wired up guitar riffs and encyclopedic vocal effects, with pick up drummer making his own case on the disc's remaining four songs (Pelletier was brought in to help out before Gagnon was acquired as the band's regular skinsman). With other songs clocking in anywhere from 1:50 to 8:02, there is a certain variety in approach throughout the album, while still allowing the whole shebang to rage on virtually unabated from start to finish. The unchecked technicality of the paired drummers' percussive barrage and the theatrical variations in Marc-Andre Grenier's vocal delivery maintain the artistic momentum despite the juggernaut blitz of the album's pacing. Well done.
