A one album supergroup of sorts which is now known for being the band that 2/3 of Primus were in, this is sort of a one man show. The album starts off strong, but songs begin to run into each other, causing one to lose interest pretty early on. That's a shame, because there are some good moments here, most notably the musicianship on Blood Shower and Smash the Crystal. You can hear both Les Claypool's future and Larry LaLonde's past (being fresh from Possessed, the seminal Bay Area death metal band) on the album, but ultimately, it lacks the punch needed to create the epic that it could have been. Production may have been a key problem here, as it suffers from the same lack of bottom end that many 80's albums had.
