The proper follow-up to Among the Living was somewhat inconsistent…There are some good moments – "Be All, End All" is one of the band's most melodic moments, and several other tracks catch fire – and the best thing here is a cover of Trust's "Antisocial"…The lyrics continue the self-consciously intellectual, P.C. approach begun on Among the Living…
