"Here Comes the Fire" is spat out with dynamo precision, combining surges of metalcore rage -- thankfully not of the recycled stuff, with guitars slicing into neo thrash at 3:19. "Ad Infinitum" drills a technical thrash attack along the lines of Municipal Waste and The Setup. This is enjoyable for the first minute or so, when all of a sudden it all falls back momentarily to give way to Green Day-esque whinging. Musicianship remains taut throughout the album, there's thrashy hooks aplently, groove laden guitar solos, snaps of metalcore riffage and abstract time signatures in "Infect the Programme", but the uninspired drivel lyrics shatter the technical brilliance completely, which is a huge shame. By track nine it all becomes fuzzy headache inducing, and leaves one thinking "Surely these guys could do with a break from this and concentrate on the music?"
