The first track, "Supernatural," is basically a re-write of Filter's "Hey Man, Nice Shot," from its phrasing, right down to the electronic sounds used. Still, others have referred to this as Circle of Dust for Christians (because of the overt "Christian content"), and I've even heard some similarities to White Zombie and Nine Inch Nails. It's not marketed as industrial, but rather electronic modern rock, and by that count, the record is high quality, especially when played loud. When first listening to this album, I was filtering it (no pun intended) through the critical ears of "so this is being marketed as industrial, huh?" and then once I was made aware that it wasn't, I began to really appreciate the heaviness of it. Travis Wyrick's grungy vocals and heavy, heavy guitars are also reminiscent of bands like Full on the Mouth. No, this album wasn't produced by Celldweller, nor does it bear the Tooth & Nail logo, but don't rob yourself by ignoring this release.
