A very solid album, and somewhat of a return to form from Suffocation. The new drummer and vocalist are great, and I really enjoy the guitar work on here which is even more technical than old Suffocation. The issue is in many generic-feeling moments and sameyness whether in the choice of arpeggios and their patterns, or just song structures/riffing.

Until recent years, this was the worst thing that Suffocation had mustered, which isn't to say that it is average. On my Souls To Deny sound off I mentioned about how it seemed like they had run out of steam, well here they appear to have run out of booze and weed as well. Seriously, this is a cacophony of noise that just doesnt flow very well. They're more famous than me though, so what do I know?

Post-reformation Suffocation may not be anywhere near the level of their original trio of albums, but that doesn't mean they don't make some very solid and fun brutal death, with occasional flashes in the pan of their prior illustriousness. Case in point: Suffocation, the inverse of Souls To Deny in that the best songs of the former are in the first half of the record, has a triple-headed medusa of brutal technical death metal to open their record in "Abomination Reborn" (which may just be the best reformation-era Suffocation song), "Redemption", and "Bind Torture Kill", followed by several solid yet unassuming tracks. "The End Of Ends" is the only track that even touches the first three, but the songs are all still pretty fun and enjoyable regardless of quality. In the end, if you're in the mood for brutal death, you really can't go wrong with Suffocation or their self-titled, though you may want to start earlier in the discography.

When It comes to just straight up crushing, brutal, kickass death metal, nobody is better than Suffocation.

Despite moments of excellence, this album just doesn't have the energy of its predecessors. It still gets heavy as all hell, but there's something missing, and Franks vocals continue their downward trend. Great if you love Suffocation, but not mandatory like some of their other albums.

Their best album of the past decade. An excellent addition to any death metal collection.

After the disappointing Souls to Deny, I thought, this is it. Yet another band trying to launch a comeback of sorts that is doomed to failure. Thankfully, this album proves me dead wrong. When I first heard it in my friend's metal shop, the first thought that came to mind was, "Heh, the production sounds kinda crappy and Frank Mullen odd." But I relented after reading reviews praising it. Boy, was I happy. And in pain, too. The first song, Abomination Reborn, made me headbang so hard I nearly banged my head on the wall. Then came Redemption (which is arguably their best song since the godly Funeral Inception) and the absolutely wicked Bind Torture Kill. Each song has its own sound and feel. Frank Mullen sounds just as menacing but it is Mike Smith that steals the show. The drums may be too upfront at times but it shows how much he's improved. Thunderous fills and the double bass make my body quiver. An excellent album from a band I thought I would never hear again.
