I got this cd after hearing excellent bombardier track on "xxxd generation" comp from unit. bombardier is working in the digital hardcore genre, enhancing it with the use of guitar elements and lots of caustic noise textures. the material on this album fully justifies its title, treating you with heavy overloaded bass-filled textures. it is not pushing the speed limit sacrificing the heaviness, like some of the bands in the genre, but rather building up broken, dislocated rhythms that explode with percussion storms and lunge into heavily processed slower rhythms.

the intensity built by this album could be a lot higher, if not for the "garage punk" sound with bad production and cluttered, "dirty" presence that is radically different from polished track on unit compilation. I suppose this could be a trademark of vinyl communications, but I truly wish this album was produced better. the potential is definitely here, since the band is obviously favoring heavier, deeper and denser textures that hit closer to aggression and heaviness of early atr stuff, as opposed to mindless gabber-obsessed bpm addicts that fail to achieve real intensity in their race for speed.

overall this album is an interesting listen once you are able to see beyond obvious flaws. as for the future, it would be interesting to see where bombardier will go next, and hopefully the result will be a more cohesive, polished release.
