Review# 107
Strapping Young Lad's fifth and final album takes a step back towards the initial tongue and cheek of Strapping's first album leaving the intense crazy freak out of previous album, Alien, behind. This is still a fantastic album though, you can feel a little that Devin is ready to retire this project but it doesn't really interfere with the overall quality - if anything he has worked it in to add another dimension to it. Some of the album is still rather serious but a goodly chunk of it is heaps of fun like You Suck, Fucker and Far Beyond Metal (feat. Oderus Urungus). I think there is a good vibe on the album and while it's not another City or Alien it is still a fantastic body of work and a good place to retire SYL on.
