Started off good, but is waaaaaay too monotonous. Brutal, techy/wannky and fast, but nothing more. Has potential, but basically follows a structure of pure wank for a few minutes, then breakdowns for the rest of the track.

This album has about as many ideas as the EP that preceded it, but it's almost twice as long. it suffers from the same tedium that many hyper-technical offerings do, though it only just strays over the line. It's redemption lies in the quantity of bizarre and surprising riffs and rhythms that abound, which make it well worth listening though the more boring parts.

This album really surprised me. I'm really not into BDM that focuses primarily on either being absurdly fast, or overly technical. It just so happens that Beneath the Massacre, and this album in particular do just that. At first I didn't really like this album, in fact I found it quite average, all the songs just sounded like noise, and the album as a whole was very repetitive, but then something clicked, I suddenly grasped everything, and what I heard was truly amazing.

| 1.5 very poor | JES | February 4th 09 |
Technicality has become an obsession for this band. To an extent that degrades the quality of their music. For the first EP, this was ok, but by now, I'm sick of hearing the same song over and over again. As Adam Thomas said on his review for 'Dystopia' "Its almost as though sometime in between writing the tweedle-tweedle-tweedle and the dun-dun-dun they forgot that they were supposed to be writing actual songs." Sums it up perfectly for me!

Beneath the Massacre has gotten a very cold reception, primarily for their use of breakdowns. If you haven't heard BTM, and you don't like breakdowns, don't listen to them. On the other hand, if you like hardcore/metalcore and you don't like death metal, it's definitely not for you. Even if you fall somewhere in the middle like me, the technicality and speed can be very overwhelming. I didn't know what to think the first time I hear Mechanics of Dysfunction, I didn't like it. I couldn't wrap my head around it. It was seemingly a fast and heavy death metal noisecore. It IS however an acquired taste. If you're a fan of the deathcore genre, which this cannot be truly classified as, or if you like technical deathcore, give it a week of straight listen and there's a chance you might like it as much as me.

This album, unlike there EP, is very repetitive. Grind core from front to back with no breaks. A systems failure is a standout but other than that i would rather listen to their EP
