This CD is one of those things which I present to people as "This is
Front242 - but it's good, really, listen to it!" It's got some really
good tracks on it, it's probably my favourite 242 release of late.
The tracks have considerably more complexity than early 242 stuff,
and for those who are put off by industrial-style vocals, the vocals
are by far and large mixed out. There are some very hard-hitting
danceable tracks here, with enough depth to definitely bear up to
repeated listenings.
It's quite cohesive as a unit, as well.
If you already like Front242, this is really a must-have. If you are
iffy on them, it's well worth giving a chance, as it's a diversion from
their old work, and even really from Up Evil and Off.
I would defeinitly reccomend it. I payed about $17USD for mine, maybe
6 months ago. I have heard here and elsewhere that there is now a US
release of this - probably orderable at your local record shop.
