I've just been getting into your music --- really stupendous, varied, and creative.
Thanks for sharing, keep it up! Eager to hear more. I don't know why there haven't been more reviews of your guys' music.

sick --- but I agree with the other reviewer. crank up that gain until your waveform is totally flat on top and bottom, and then this is properly obnoxious and will make more brains bleed, as intended. the waveform samples should alternate between 1.0 and -1.0 =D
I don't understand the lyrics, but found the EP very enchanting. I can hear the passion in your voice. Also very good expression in your playing, I can feel your heart is in it.
Thanks for sharing, and keep it up. I'd love to hear a full-length album!
I liked the melodies and laid back feel --- great chill / introspective atmosphere. Kind of hypnotic, in a good way. However, I really didn't care for the vocals. The tracks would have been stronger as just instrumental tracks, or with a vocalist who could belt it out there.
Anyway, thanks a bunch for sharing. Despite my (hopefully helpful) criticism, I truly enjoyed it, and look forward to your next album! Keep it up!
some awesome vgm here. really catchy tunes. Battle Lv.2 Modernized totally rocked.
thanks for sharing and keep it up!
I heard "Reagan" on the jamendo hip hop radio, and I was sold. Word perfect socially critical lyrics, flawless samples, and instrumentation that has me nodding and smiling.
Bits and pieces of a lot of genres here, and it's never clear where one starts and where one ends. A few parts remind me of Beck, only better. Generally, I avoid anything that attempts to bridge hip hop and rock (no thanks, nu metal!): but this stuff works, even managing to make me like the ska flavored bits (<-- high praise), and when you break down into harder rock, it doesn't suck and feels original.
Thanks for sharing. Keep it up, this stuff rocks --- I am definitely listening to the rest of your albums. I can't wait to see what you come up with next!

Really liked it.
Solid attitude. Has a certain old school breakbeat hardcore flavor about it which I think is what really shines. Values attitude and expression above technicality and production which I'd prefer any day. Decent sampling, simple and straight forward song structure, fairly minimalist at times which is refreshing. The only criticism would be that at a few points it feels like you re-use material too much.
Thanks for the share, and keep it up!
Liked it. The rhetoric is laid on pretty thick in the first one, but given that I agree with it that's cool! Would make an excellent addition to a soundtrack to any sort of copyleftist documentary.
Love to see more along the same lines, perhaps some songs with less blatant but equally potent free culture message.
Thanks for the share!
Started off kind of sounding a tad like a male version of Adult, but then it changed, and kept on changing, esp. with the various covers. Pretty solid here -- with the exception of a few bits I felt like it was lacking something: I think it was the synth or samples or something you used felt a little weak in places, and if it had been me I would have added a few more layers (electronic music is like an onion?) or tried out different patches. That being said, other times it felt super solid though, which made up for it. The album gets slower and softer at around "Without You". Mesmerizing, feels like we're wandering into neofolk/industrial territory
Really liked it. I really like the punk / electronic stuff and I smiled at the (weird) Bad Religion cover. enjoyed the industrial influences too.
anyway keep it up and thanks a lot for sharing!
