Earth + whatever it is

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Wow, Aaron Turner never ceases to amaze me. Here on this record is something completely different than anything else I have ever heard. The way the tracks are broken up on this cd is quite pleasant. It opens up with two metal core songs, and then goes into this ambient/noise track, almost something like SAWII, or the group Earth. But if you can stand it, or like it, it provides a stellar segue into the next song, another metal core song. And it goes like this for the next ten tracks or so. Simply amazing; not the idea, but the sound, the noise, the emotions that are conveyed through them. Aaron Turner's vocals can convey so much....they aren't your stereo-typical, indecipherable bludgeoning, but brutal nonetheless. And somewhat indecipherable. On the softer parts of the songs, you can hear the drummer shout the count to the next beat. Example: "(guitar riff)...two three four (guitar riff)...two three four". Anyway, definately something that hasn't been heard before, and something that needs to be heard. On the downside, it is rather short, with the ambient tracks taking up most of the time, and the very last track is noiseless. But, the conspirators (Aaron, Santos, and a few others), have created a story that goes along with their song, and it is interesting and quite amusing. But, buy it for the music. Honestly."
Best album in the world

"Well, lets just take a look at the title, shall we? Yes, well...This is not an album, no no. In the immortal words of Javier Romero" this is a call to arms!". This is not music that you and your friends can sit around and get lifted to, no, quite the opposite! This is science! This is a case study in which we can all benifit. This is a pamphlet on better living through alien simian technology! Listen closely friends, for within these textured soundscapes lies the key to your inner self! RISE MONKEY, SAVE ME FROM MYSELF! APE ON MAN, APE ON APE! THE APE IS ME!"
