"The brief review usually eludes me but what can you say about this album, other than the above. Put anything else in your collection up against this album, and it will shred it! If the monster from the "Alien" movies could write metal, it might just sound like this! The vocals took a little getting used too, but beyond that--look out! Speed, power; tight, crisp, razor sharp, playing and changes; good songwriting: this album's got it all, if you like the extreme stuff. Self-titled album is good; this one's better."

Death metal classic

"In my Opinion Hypocrisy's best. In many ways this album is a combonation of death and black metal and takes the best of both worlds. Songs Dominion, Shameteur, or Evil Invaders capture hypocrisys heavy feeling. With lyrics you can generally understand. While other songs such as Inquire within or Adjusting the sun take some very melodic guitars but still heavy. Get this album if you are a death metal or black metal fan."

One of death metal's finest

"Hypocrisy's 8th studio output (including ep's and shaped singles)manages to put them in that rare place occupied by the finest death metal bands (i.e Morbid Angel, Malevolent Creation, et al). A stunning acheivement which features diverse song writing and an outstanding production (done by main man Peter at his own Abyss studio), Hypocrisy can hold their heads up high with this near classic disc. All the tracks contained herein are strong, semi-melodic thrashing death, with plenty of slow, crushing moments and high octane thrash, but the best tracks to me include "Adjusting The sun", a great, melodic thasher in the In Flames vein, "The Final Chapter" a brooding, mesmeric doom laden song and the biggest surprise of all, a cover version of Razor's immortal underground classic "Evil Invaders". While the band does nothing new with the song, they take it, grab it by its throat and REALLY rip things up with it. A totally awesome release...very much looking forward to their new, self titled release. This is a must have cd in a time when there aren't many must have thrash/death metal releases."
