"Let's analyze the album title: Extreme Noise Terror "being" one of the pioneers of UK Crustpunk/Grindcore in the mid 80's and "nothing" as in nothing could have prepared ENT's old fans and certain new comers. Ok...so it isn't "Holocaust In Your Head" or even "Retro-bution", but it still has it's own character. "Being And Nothing" is like having a chainsaw ripping through your face with the throttle on full blast! Nothing but pure whirlwind Grindcore holocaust! Gone are the killer Crustpunk social-political lyrics, only being replaced by dark metaphors. I think after so long you can only sing about changing the world and whatnot that you just want to play-out full-blown aggresion and may be throw in some personal subjects. And if anyone really knows....the 90's were certainly NOT kind to the British brummies in ENT. May be ENT are trying to catch-up with the times, may be ENT just want to mature a little bit. Either or, "Being And Nothing" is a very good album."

"This new album for the crust/grind pioneers is their most brutal album yet. I dont see how people can say they gave up their punk roots when this album sounds more like their early stuff more then their damage 381 album. Sure theres not any political lyrics but singing about that stuff for so long gets old. This is a must for any true E.N.T. fan."
