the purest expression of pain you will ever hear on a rock record.

5.0 classicREANIMATED | July 21st 22

The greatest album of the 90s, Willpower condenses so many of the boundary-pushing developments in rock and metal to convey anguish, hatred, and suffering. There are moments of beauty and vulnerability within the maelstrom of brutal and technically proficient cruelty that only serve to highlight these elements more. Excellent use of samples too, the one used to introduce Promised Land alone conveying so much anguish as perhaps the greatest opening riff of any song ever written begins to emerge.

3.5 greatTheManMachine | November 28th 14

Coming from late 90's/early 2000s-only knowledge of this band, this in comparison is a raw, straightforward noise rock refresher - less drawn out and cinematic, maniacal but not yet child porn ballet level, hey even sounds like Dinosaur Jr. at times. Songs structures are usually proggy or haphazard or both, and themes match the samples: tense relationships and a twisted sense of self-empowerment.
