About this album
Early pressings of the CD came with a thirteen-song limited edition live DVD, with 12 songs recorded in Strasbourg on Hypocrisy’s 2004 tour as support of Cannibal Corpse, and from a different show they play the song Total Disaster by Destruction along with the band’s vocalist/bass player Marcel ‘Schmier’ Schirmer. Some cds also feature a bonus track, “Watch Out”, which appears to be a demo of a song recorded in 2000.
Some early pressings have an error where a scratch sound can be heard on tracks 6 and 11. Nuclear Blast has stated they will mail a replacement disc to anyone who has one of these glitched discs. See Hypocrisy’s official website for more details on the issue.

Hey guys, use mp3gain if needed, the album started at over 100 db and I reduce all my music to 94 db, it helps a little with the production/loudness. It is the shame that has to be done, but there are workarounds.

Gah! The production! Too loud! It always catches me off guard when I listen to something before this.

Not even close to the 1994-1999 albums. It isn't bad because Hypocrisy doesn't make bad stuff. I don't think this is better than Catch 22 either.

@Metality - what I am talking about is greater "perceived loudness" due to compression. When something is overly compressed like this album, or say, Metallica's Death Magnetic, there are to few dynamics for your ears to fully appreciate everything that is going on... it's like a relentless assault of sound that gives me a headache after not too long.... and no I am not talking about the STYLE of music, hell I can take a lot more intense stuff than this.

What a terribly uneven album. You have 4 great songs in "Fearless", "Let The Knife Do The Talking", "A Thousand Lies" and "Living To Die" mixed with 4 awful songs in "Scrutinized", "Craving For Another Killing", "Blooddrenched" and "Incised Before I've Ceased", while both "Warpath" and "Compulsive Psychosis" are listenable. Bad Peter!

Usually when something is "too loud", I decrease the volume.

Awesome album, but holy batfuck this is the loudest fucking album I have ever heard. It actually hurts listening to this on headphones. In desperate need of a remastering, those arguing in favour of the mastering - you need to get your ears checked pronto!

lol @ everyone complaining about the production...if you care about the production, go listen to the radio

This and A Taste Of Extreme Divinity are mixed way too loudly.

"As for the loudness, I could care less, this isn't really the kind of music that needs all the dynamics." the same conclusion that modern day professional sound engineers have come to as well. kudos to you.

[2] Smash it with a brickwall limiter for all I care. And its not like the album really sounds squashed anywhere, so I'd say it's mastered just fine.

As far as production goes I like this album a lot, the guitar tone is something else, actually one of my favourites. As for the loudness, I could care less, this isn't really the kind of music that needs all the dynamics. Smash it with a brickwall limiter for all I care.
