Awesome album, complete with pretty good vocal performances this time around, which is a welcome change as most of their albums before this had some pretty painful singing. (Doug Lee sung on Dances of Death too, but here the vocal melodies are stronger.) I must say, though, that there are a couple things on here that make me think of other progressive thrash metal albums. There's a riff in "Misunderstanding" that sounds like a major riff in Coroner's "Divine Step (Conspectu Mortis)", and "About Science" features the lyric "Controlled by confusion, confused by control"....Watchtower much? Still a great album that overcomes the weaknesses of Mekong Delta's previous work.
