I know what you're thinking... "He found a copy!?" Well, I got lucky enough to find a copy... for FREE! HAHAHAHAHHA. OK... sorry.
I've heard a lot of flack given to this album from people who I thought would love it. Why all the flack? I dunno. As you can see from the rating... I love it. This cd consists of the last brainchild tracks ever released... the first circle of dust tracks ever released... and two living sacrifice tracks from Inhabit re-mixed by Klay Scott.
From the first track (deviate remix) on... this album has TONS of bass... played on a full system... this is one album that turns heads. The sound of some of these songs sounds so stinkin heavy and dark. Just right now... I can say... if you like industrial... this album is a MUST have.
Not a single song on this cd do I skip when I play it. The Brainchild songs are just crushing heavy industrial... there's 3 of em... including one that ends on a very eclectic tone. The living sacrifice remixes I actually enjoy. I know a lot of people hate em... but I rather enjoy the mix between industrial and thrash like that. DJ's vocals are intact with all annoying qualities... but Klay does a good job making you feel the pain... heheh.
The Circle of Dust tracks are, as usual, killer. The song "Daraq" is just about the most... droning song I think I've ever heard... but I can't seem to stop listening to it when it's on ... heh... I guess it's a zombie conspiracy.
Overall... this is one of the best industrial albums I've ever ... not purchased. Being as it is so rare to come by... I would say, get it if you can... don't pay the obscene price most charge for it. And if you have it... break that out and put it in your custom cars... yeah... you know you have em... if I don't hear this cd "BUMPIN" on your maxed out sound systems then you have betrayed all decent bass-loving metalheads... or something.
8/10

The Phantom Tollbooth 2004Reviewed by Len NashIn the late '80s and early '90s, R.E.X. Records brought on an age of Christian hard-rock head bangers. R.E.X. gave us great music that throbs and throws by bands like Six Feet Deep, Believer, Living Sacrifice, Circle of Dust, and Brainchild. Focusing on three projects--Brainchild, Circle of Dust, and Living Sacrifice--Scott Albert (now Klay Scott) defied musical gravity by mixing industrial metal…Heaven's Metal #43Reviewed by David JenisonThough there are many bands which are incredible musically, not so many have the single, incredible, musical trait of being able to create energy and anger within a listener. As a musical style, industrial metal has had many of the most driving and anger-ridden groups, and with all respect to great industrial bands like Ministry, Nine Inch Nails, and Skinny Puppy, Scott Albert's, Metamorphosis,…Similar sounding releases
