Mr. Siebold and company return with a CD that reveals a lot of growth and
development from their first CD. There are still plenty of tracks that deliver
their classic sounds of anger and spite and still tremendous amounts of energy
in their songs. But the band also lets more of their "softer", vulnerable
emotions show through on many tracks, as they demonstrated so well on the
Mainline EP. While their first release was a little heavier on the guitar
elements, this album compellingly mixes together the electronics and the guitar
to create a very satisfying disc to listen to. Seibold's vocals often sound
less abrasive in many songs and he has added in a bit more subtlety to them
this time around, but the lyrics and vocals are still quite hard. Although
about half of these songs have already appeared on various compilations or
previous releases, most of these particular songs have been reworked or remixed
to some degree, so you're not going to feel cheated. (We all know Siebold's one
true desire is to be rich and famous, but he's not that much of an asshole - at
least not off-stage. (Kevin Congdon)
