Another trash album from early 90's. Jeff Waters & co delivers simple yet ripping axework
with mid-toned vocals being in-between singing-shouting. Vocals arent maximum rough nor crystal
clear but in-between on that area too. Music is usually fast-paced, very rhythmic, pretty strong and ripping though
maybe would need some varying on melody to make it sound deeper. Anyway this's pure trash,
nothing more but nothing less either. Many songs contains chaotic or psychopatic mood
as lyrically as musically. Lets pick up for example The Fun Palace "you try to scream, its
only a dream, welcome to the fun palace...", Sixes and Sevens (about confusement and so on.),
Phantasmagoria (name tells it all). They all have alot of riffs sticked in row,
from slower to faster ones. Still it successes to keep song construction together not sounding
mindless. I think its one of the things Jeff Waters is clever at. Also speedy Road to Ruin,
which tells about speeding as insane with your car (and crashing to the wall on the end
:)), is a strong song. Then theres two more
melodic tracks Stonewall with meaningfull lyrics about destroying nature and title track
sounding mystical, beatiful and insane. The rest songs being solid trash attacks too.
Theres not weak points in this album (missing top notch singer though)
because all songs keeps about same simple trashmetal spirit
despite the little more melodic title track and Stonewall. That also tells it:
no big surprises here nor big letdowns either, just pure chaotic yet technical
trash from Canada!
