| Very nice indie music. The production quality is delightful. The song-writing is a bit outlandish which makes for a refreshing spin. |

| Gore-Groove Slam kings WTC have had mixed reviews from the beginning of time. First it was the shock of the overtly graphic lyrical content mixed with gutturals that could only be spawned from a refilling-toilet. Then elitists started having hissy-fits about messy blast beats and simple chugging riffs. One thing WTC seems to succeed in is making themselves known whether being ripped on or moshed to and remains one of the most popular slam bands in the U.S. "Beyond Cops, Beyond God" admittedly is one of the most awful titles ever but their sound remains aggressive and slightly unique and even more mature, stepping up from previous releases. I'll be one of the few to stand up for these brutes. |

| Omni pleases similar to that of a stick of bubblegum. When i first gave it a taste I was captivated by the flavorful fun. It even stuck with me for a bit. After a while it lost its flavor and there was really nothing left to enjoy; just a poppy, chewy lacking piece of gum. Time to spit it out and hope for a longer-lasting flavorful piece of music. |

| I thought about giving this a very poor for the following reasons: chugaholic riffs, generic chord changes, unnecessarily low tuning, amateur-like slow sweeping, mundane vocals...but then I realized other p.o.s. bands have abused many o' listeners ears before in the same manner, therefore I deemed it an awful. This doesn't piss me off because it's tough and makes me want to swing my arms around in the pit, but because it's unbearably generic and tasteless. |

| Math metal inspired sludgy punk. Unconventional riffing with spastic blast beats. This is very aggressive, uncompromising stuff compiling a well-composed album. Every song fits together nicely. |

| The most creative sound i have heard in aggressive music ever. Not sure where these guys pulled this fusion out of. Incredibly experimental; heavily intriguing. Native ancestry summoning spirits of various atmospheres. Is that Canninus barking in the background? Who cares, this better be appreciated and even enjoyed. |

| Sure, this release is not as harsh or "brute" as their first, but it is equal in sonic devastation to the hardcore scene. Rising above the cliche structure of (heart-filled) hardcore, these dudes defy even their contemporaries in the genre and create dark, intense, but most importantly, careless hardcore. At times these songs sound flat or dragging, but overall the album kicks. |
