Pretty much a Hit Parade:
  1. A rollicking start with TV As Eyes.
  2. Chug-a-lug and blistering guitar on Zombie Warfare (Can't Let You Down).
  3. March of the Chrome Police (A Cold Clammy Bombing): acid-rock as soul. (OK, that's a stretch). No... it's a blueprint for Nation of Ulysses. Yes.
  4. You've Been Duplicated, the funky one.
  5. Clanky industrial never sounded as good as Mondo Anthem.
  6. Half Machine Lip Moves basically predicts all of Big Black.
  7. Abstract Nympho picks up where the first track left off.
  8. Turned Around is a mess, I'll grant you that.
  9. What time is now? Zero Time.
  10. Synthesizers never sounded so good as on Creature Eternal. OK, this one's a mess too.
  11. Critical Mass or Super Sludge?
Tracks 8-11 disappoint, but not that much: 9.34 stars.
