This chapter is sure to convert the critics and to impress the loyal die-hard fans.
 

CD Reviews

Pale vision of former greatness...
Marc Wiener | Staten Island, NY United States | 05/11/2001
(2 out of 5 stars)

"Well, it's a got a few good tracks, but this CD pales in comparison to the early Integrity work. There is way too much filler on here. Also, there are a few tracks with melodic backing vocals that re just not what I'm looking for when I want to hear Integrity. This one's for completists who must own the couple of solid tracks that are on here."
2nd best Integrity album...
The Dilettante | 12/20/2006
(4 out of 5 stars)

"...notwithstanding the fact that it sounds NOTHING like any other Integrity record, before or since. Like some B-horror movie franchises, the Integrity name is a brand that gets slapped on a dizzing variety of products that bear no resemblance to one and other. Integrity changes musical styles and band lineups like most people change socks. The only constant is Dwid, the vocalist/screaming technician. Whether he's currently feeling straightedge (early 90's), following Charlie Manson and the Process Church (1995-1997), living in a "militia environment" (1997-1998 -rumored), playing with Japanese power electronics (1999-2000) or -as in this incarnation- channelling the spirit of Glenn Danzig circa 1981, Dwid is constantly fascinating. His output is wildly erratic, but he's a stylistic genius, so it's alright. Basically, this album is a weird tribute to the Misfits, updated for the millenium with screaming vocals, better production, and more ripping guitar distortion. If you like the Misfits and mid-90's metalcore, then this will hit the spot in a really unexpected way. If you want more Humanity Is the Devil then...well...you're screwed because Dwid has moved on."
