5 stars - Prolog: 1. Experiment with the surge of thrash metal, tech/extreme metal sounds; the prog a drop but really searching on the ground; the air is indeed prog, rather captivating; the break in the last third may bring to mind this with a well-executed Piggy G but it is the intro that sets the progressive fire in the ears 2. Tribal Convictions as its name suggests which takes its intro very far; hellish rhythm in SEPULTURA; it's the war; Snake's unique voice hypnotizes the listener with his psyche-end of the world mantra; it unfolds, the growl of Away emerges while Blacky's bass vibrates and gradually drives you crazy, insane, let's have another machine gun shot 3. Chaosmongers continues, that's a progressive snub for the laid-back intro... don't wait too long, the big gunshot picks up again, a delicious tune to headbang and thumb your nose at the proguous guy with his walker; memories where I went to see my girlfriend at 140 after my hard day at work without thinking about the radars; it's thrash metal OK but this crazy release of variation and this solo which follows does not leave you indifferent; the bass taps faster than my fingers on my typewriter, that's to say; hypnotic, drugging this title which surfs and the screamed voice which still shakes you up 4. Technocratic Manipulators continues again, prog!! this muffled, evil intro... and then the hellish rhythm resumes; hard without concession yes but a prog larva comes to insert itself into the musical structure with a psyche-hypnotizing decline

- Epilog: 5. Macrosolutions to Megaproblems ah again the killer intro, unhealthy, spinning, we are of course explosive heavy; the lava-melting vocal phrasing, the drums tumbling around every corner of the door; the guitar break solo and the latent tune like taking a breath before starting again... and this chorus Macrosolutions to Megaproblems that I screamed, chanted, chopped up!! Be careful, one title can hide another... 6. Brain Scan afterwards slower, more unhealthy, we have the Olympic games and Pierre's motto there; crazy break I'm getting back to it, slowness of the air to put out the musical fire, thrash to hell; on the 1st METALLICA; the break once again as a megaphone; guitar break and percussive whir, not windy; final in addition so as not to let go 7. Psychic Vacuum which allows you to settle down... yes it's calmer, well, it's more conventional, just 220V here; the flood yes will be at the end 8. Cosmic Drama in the intro reminding me of a JUDAS PRIEST, a SURVIVOR finally an FM Metal thing; and then the lava returns; a minute of intro to set the mood, then it's a crazy rhythmic base, it's grumbling choirs, it's drums flattening all inclination, no second to rest your ears; and I laugh at the profligate who finds no melody in this shambles; at one point you might think you recognize a double bass but no problem, the musical fire is there 9. Batman as a vent with Away and Piggy playing battle while Blacky plays matchmaker.

A major piece from this extreme group like no other!
