    When listening to the follow-up to the Brainstorming EP, two things immediately come into mind. First of all, the much improved sound quality of this CD. Even though Brainstorming had good songs like Be Free, the new album just has much better sonics. The other thing that strikes me is the fact that all songs are sung in German this time. It's a pity they didn't have one or two exceptions. Nevertheless, the German lyrics add to the dark feel of the album. Musically, Nutze Die Zeit might please both the open-minded metal as the hardcore fans. Sometimes this music is like playing riffs while driving on a bumpy road. You can hear groovy rhythms with diverse vocal deliveries. There are aggressive screams, melodic parts and sometimes singer Robert Kunz is panting for breath (in Verloren). Overall, the album has a nice variety of sounds and feels. I can't say anything about the way the album is wrapped up as the promo came as a burned CD in my case. One thing is sure though: Brain:FAQ is a band that has talent!
