A Must Have

"If you didnt get the chance to catch this band live on the warp tour around 96, you missed out. This band made a massive buzz on their live show playing this material and to this day i belive it was one of the top 2-3 performances ive seen by any band. This and the first Deftone album were a tremendous one two punch for hardcore fans in those days.



Anyone remotely into hardcore music should have this album in their collection. Its a jaw dropping album that is stellar from the first track to the last.



Sadly this band peaked and fell with this first album. The band made drastic member changes and were never the same. Ive wondered what happend to the guitarist and bassist after this album since they laid some fat blood pumping music, that was severly lacking from everything O9mm did from this point on. Chaka's lyrics and delivery could only carry the band so far, and frankly without the quality music behind him they just fell off the map as soon as they arrived.



But if you want to go back to 96-97 and hear one of hardcores best efforts, this is for you.



A must have for fans of heavy music."

Yeeeeehaw!!!

"Excellent album for anyone who enjoys fast, incredibly heavy, adrenaline pumping tracks. This one is a little more raw than "tragic" - just as a point of reference, if you've heard that album. If you've never heard O9Mm before and you're an honest metalhead - not a "Hairband" groupie - then you really need to hear this album (as well as anything put out by these guys).Definitely check out track 2. It has a hook to it that'll turn you inside out. All of their albums have the same "my head's going to explode because I turned the radio up so loud because these guys are so awesome" groove - but you really need to hear the entire songs to get an honest feel for the album - enjoy."
