This album keeps growing on me. I'm usually not a fan of instrumental metal, but this is very engaging and well written.

A mess of an album with nothing more to offer than half baked ideas made whole by a plethora of wasteful and boring guitar wankery.

Wow! This is bloody fantastic. Honestly I wasn't expecting something quite this great, due to my cynicism of the ubiquitous "uber-hype". But, Damn! Just, Damn! that is all.

I've upped my rating to a 5. Which is to say, the Tipton brothers have finally done it. As eclectically virtuosically theme-ridden as "The Towers of Avarice" (Zero Hour) and "ReEvolution" (Cynthesis) were, "Manipulation under Anesthesia" is probably the most consistent encapsulation of their ethos: (A) that mankind is fundamentally self-destructive; and (B) that that doesn't entirely have to be a downer.

Pretty interesting record. Haven't listened too it much yet so I don't know if it has any
lasting power, but jesus these guys can play. And the bass work on this record is some of
the best I've heard all year.

Listening too Harmonic Oscillators and holy crap it is intense - brilliant depth and complexity which keeps you interested throughout its whole 7:17 of playtime even though it is an instrumental.

Shred-tastic instrumental work reminiscent of Jason Becker and Cacophony.
