This is pretty much in the same vein as their debut LP - fast, melodic, stop-on-a-dime hardcore, honestly political, pro-animal rights etc etc. The message is as clear and provocative as ever, and the production is clear and powerful again. There are quite a few rocking, mid-tempo songs here, though, which is not a bad thing, it just means that this is a bit less over the top and aggressive than their debut. [8]
Recht ähnlich wie ihre erste LP - schneller, melodischer, sehr exakter Hardcore mit einer klaren und ernst gemeinten politischen Botschaft; auch die Produktion ist wieder sehr gut und kraftvoll. Im Unterschied zum Debüt sind hier allerdings auch einige mittelschnelle und rockigere Songs vertreten, was beileibe kein Problem ist; die LP wird dadurch nur etwas weniger hektisch und aggressiv. Sehr gut.
