I agree with Grim: the production lacks the blasting in-your-face power the music deserves. They really need an engineer that knows what he’s doing, but in spite of that I think this is a very enjoyable album.

I think the album was produced fine it’s just the mixing is poorly done. The drums sound soft and the sound engineer could have done much better mixing this album proper.

you all seem to have missed my key points, they can hold their own with the best of them, production quality sucks but don’t hold the band accountable, and good ideas just need to be brought out through better production. And unoriginal and derivative do not equate to untalented. My gripe is not that they can’t play, but that we can’t hear them play as we should. I thought I was obvious in slamming production values and not musical ideas. I’ll state it this way: musicality 75, production 25

I would also beg to differ with Grimfluffer. There is some pretty cool guitar playing going on with this record. This didn’t really get the attention it deserved in my opinion, even if it isn’t the “album of the year”. Seems like the reviewer passed judgement on this without really giving it a thorough listen.

I have to agree with Vugelnox. I really like this album and to be honest, it doesn’t sound like you spent more than five minutes listening to the album or writing the review. It’s true they’re not the most original, but I think this album has a sound that is distinctly Mexican, in the vein of the Chasm, and the guitarist has a real ear for dissonance. He isn’t just bending a few notes to sound diminished and evil. I really advise you to take a few more listens and think before you throw down 300 words of dismissive drivel. I expect better than that from Teeth of the Divine.

wow I really have to disagree with this review Grim. I thought Antimo really put a distinctive stamp on these songs with his guitar playing. All of those clean jangly melodies floating over top of the down-in-the-trenches blasting struck me as a unique way to approach this sound. The production is a little dull sure but nothing approaching the album ruining levels of say the last Angelcorpse album. This isn’t album of the year material but completely unoriginal and generic? I just don’t see it.
