Louder and more rocking again than the very calm Danzig 4; most of the songs are dragging and rather slow though. Not a big problem, what’s more annoying is that they used too many digital and synth effects that - in most cases - don’t really fit. That along with the rather uninteresting songwriting makes this a pretty boring album. [5]

Wieder lauter und rockiger als die doch etwas sehr ruhige Danzig 4-CD, die meisten Songs sind allerdings ziemlich langsam und schleifend. Weniger bluesig als die früheren Solo-LPs, dafür mit mehr Industrial-Einfluss à la Godflesh. Nervig sind die vielen Digital- und Synthi-Effekte, die in den meisten Fällen unpassend und überflüssig sind. Insgesamt eine eher langweilige Platte.
