"This album is a death metal ground breaker. Anyone who says less either has no idea what they are talking about in music, or is retarded. Being a drummer/percussionist myself, i have studied music for over 7 years, and i can only stand in awe of these musicians. Flo is phanominal, and is the best drummer in the business. Eric is probably the best bassist i've ever heard to, with licks so complicated they confuse the most skilled bass teachers around. John is also one of the best guitarists ever, with some of the most crushing riffs and the most amazing solos in metal history. The singer, Mike D is brilliant with a voice of brutality and skillful range. If you are a fan and havent heard Lord Worm is returing to the band on the next album. Although mike D is amazing I am very glad for this, as i am a big fan of lord worm.

Anyway, your just plain stupid if you don't buy this album."

"Like a demented funhouse ride constantly in danger of careening off the tracks, And Then You'll Beg is an orchestration of insanity. It's pure tight experimental death metal weirdness, a landmark in the genre. Cryptopsy really rises above their own reputation on this one, formidable reputation though it is. It's tight but raw and noisy, retaining spontaneity through the most technincal changes; while the parts may seem strung together randomly, deeper analysis reveals a mockingly eclectic flow. The vocals remind me of earlier Kataklysm - many have mourned the loss of Lord Worm, but DiSalvo's psychotic, ultra-scary ranting fits this album perfectly. Flo's weird swinging beats and insane blasts tie together the lurching rhythms and fluttering, atonal leads, and when he drops into a groove the whole thing swirls down into its vortex. This is one of those rare masterpieces of death metal that doesn't come around often, an album you can listen to until you've got the whole thing memorized but somehow you never get tired of hearing it."

AND THEN YOU'LL BEG...To hear this CD again!!

"Cryptopsy's latest is simply stellar. I was totally blown away the first time I heard this. I mean my jaw dropped! This is almost the sickest music my ears have ever listened to (Sorry, but Suffocation will always be #1 with me.) The guitars and drums are flat out amazing, and ultra-technical. There are so many time changes in one song, it will make your head spin. The drums on this CD are INSANE! Flo Mounier has to be one of the fastest drummers behind a kit. His double kick drum work has to be some of the fastest I've ever heard (almost as fast as Sandoval). As for the guitar and bass work, I must say that I only wish I could play stuff like this, I am speachless. These have to be some of the most insane riffs I have ever listened to. Now for the vocals, and I have to say that I like them. You people will just have to get over Lord Worm's departure. Sure he had one of the most original styles out there, but it's time to face the fact that he is gone. I think DiSalvo does a fine job. He may not have the gutteral vocals, but when you hear his style, you know you are listening to Cryptopsy. Honestly, yes I do think his voice is more hard-core sounding, but I think it kind of fits. But anyway, this CD should be in your collection if you consider yourself a fan of death metal. I was very pleased to add this one to my collection. So should you! Later"
