Rated 8/10

Pretty good stuff but not enough bangers

Rated 6/10

Mask was certainly an interesting album. After seeing this album have "Experimental" in it's genre tags on Wikipedia, this was an album where i thought anything goes. What i ended up getting though feels like a budget Killing Joke. There are a fair few things that this album and Killing Joke's self-titled album share and those include the electronic elements, the general sound of the bass and the fact that both bands are British (Okay, that third one might be pushing it but who cares?). While i don't like this album nearly as much as that one, i can still see a fair bit of good in this one and it was still a pretty good listen.
Best Song: Kick in the Eye
Worst Song: Hollow Hills

Rated 8/10

Stark and dark post-punk but still makes some attempts to be palatable and catchy which balances it out well. It has just enough sense of humor to lighten it up a bit without feeling too cheesy for the most part.
