I enjoyed the first half on this quite a bit. As usual with noise, it is hard to put into words, but there is just something about Dominik shrieking auditory abuse over a wall of noise that just tickles my fancy. The first two tracks are quite heavily vox-based, then the rest is mostly 'instrumental' noise. Up to track 6 this was somewhere in 4.0 territory, but sadly track 7 then felt very disruptive to the atmosphere. How can a track feel disruptive on an album that's made of mostly random noises and bleeps I don't know, but it clearly ruptures with the rest. Something with the frequency spectrum perhaps? 8 is kinda nice and brings back the first half, but I had trouble getting back into the album thereafter because it already felt long enough at 7 and could easily have ended there. There are some nice bits here and there but the closer feels disruptive again and turns into a headache almost. Throughout the second half my rating went downhill to a low 3.2
