...This album is really good...
For someone who is into a lot of rock and metal etc. this is a really good chill out album.
The songs are all really catchy, believe me you'll catch yourself singing it all the time.
In my opinion this is Alabama3's best album although i was surprised it didn't get the hype i thought it would with the soprano's theme tune.
You'll either love or hate this album, i let some of my friends listen to it as they were going to be a T in the park but they didn't appreciate it (but then again they mostly like pop and rap)
I think good advice for this album would be to download a song such as "too sick to pray" or "woke up this morning" before you buy it. if you like these then i'm sure you would like the rest....

Advantages: Fast, Heavy. Disadvantages: Repetitive in places.
...My first exposure to this album, very surprisingly for a band of Napalm's type, was the video for "The Infiltraitor" on MTV (what the hell I was doing watching MTV I can't remember). This was quite good I thought, and the rest of album follows in much the same vain. This is Grindcore done by Grindcore's finest, but surprisingly focused at that. None of this 3-second song malarkey, just a barrage of unrelenting, uncompromising, scalpel-sharp noise, backed up by Danny Herrera's at times insanely fast drumming, with the odd confuser thrown in to break it up a bit, namely the first part of 3-song welding Trio - Degradable/Affixed By Disconcern. And I for one love it....

Advantages: excelant chill music Disadvantages: none
...The basic setup of Alabama3 is that this is a band of preachers : - All named Love who are ministers of the 1st Presleyterian Church of Elvis the Divine who mix fiery baptist minister sermons, Gospel and country music with a dance beat. It may not sound inspiring on paper but this is a joyeous entertaining music.
Its at it's best when these style mix together in Converted which is gospel music about going to Church , or Peace in the Valley country music complete with slide guitar and harmonicaor Ain't going to goa which is baptist preaching - all set to chilled out dance beats. Also successful is U don't dance to Techno - a hillbilly jig.
probably their best known track - Woke up this morning the theme from the Sopronas which is also present here a blues belter again with adance beat
Hallelujah - I am a convert...
