Now that PANTERA is basically a thing of the past, perhaps these idol worshipers of the Texas terrors can take over. More chuga chuga riffs with Metalcore vokills assault your ears for the next 45 minutes. Cody mixes his harsh lungs with some cleaner yet raspy vocals to songs like "False State" and "Said". "Said" is a bit different than the other songs because the guitars are more than just a bunch of chugs. Rhythms and melody layer the song quite nicely, but still pack a punch.

The CD is a step above the debut, but still not as original as I would have hoped. I guess if you are waiting for the next PANTERA release which won't happen, this will have to do. (Online June 24, 2003)
