I'd be tired too after doing the drums on Polaroids. It's the drums track overlapping on the interlude, basically.... plus, DJ RAM wouldve removed that part if he'd removed the fridge sound and all that other stuff, dont you think? Besides, THAT is Michel's voice in there.

Aaaaiiiieeeee!!!Chaosmongers,after the most hellish work day this Tuesday,I arrive home hotter than a nuclear reactor headed for meltdown(Planet Hell-Houston heat) and my preorder for "Katorz' arrived. Along w/the cd,came a poster,sticker and a couple of packages. Took only two wks to arrive but I couldnt wait to hear it. Been listening to only a couple of minutes of each track to let it all slowly soak in-the Voivirus incubation time (describing the sound)is of a shorter gestation period with a few patented virulent strains of the familiar atmosphere-"the abridged car-crash instrumental-interlude clone of "chaosmongers' rears it's head on "Dognation"...the fractal chrome guitar sounds of Piggy permeate very loudly---amazing how they put it together-sounds like he's playing there in person with them! I also digged the "punk-krautrock diffusion with Dead Kenned-energy" on "Silly Clones"/"Mr.Clean"-"removeall"/"Odds and Frauds"/"Red My Mind"/"After All"...although "The Getaway" has some "simpler than calculus" riffage,I still liked the energy..."Polaroids" could've used some hi-tech "freezing vocal effect"(just my particular taste) and "The X-Stream" was kinda marginal(needed) one of the rainy "Angel Rat outtake",maybe "Alveolar" type bridges...Anyways,Snake's emotions really come out on this one,his "streetpuke rocker side comes out with a most direct lyrical battle". Jasonic's bass-"bat shadows side" playing comes out,especially on "Dognation". Away amazingly precise like a subatomic train track...I'm not going to compare this to other albums-its another chapter in the Voivod saga(one that I fervently hope they continue in one form or another...) This one grows on me like form-fitting replacement rictus although the structures are more "rock and granite roll-based".."No Angel" could've benefitted from better lyrics-"Your loving is a crime...WTF?" Again this will the be the one that will continue to garner many more sneak listens then a complete listen again and again...Buy the fucking disc already!!!!!

Right..The only title that changed is X-Tremetal to X-Stream.[/QUOTE] That's interesting.
BTW: I've always loved the lyrics to Twin Dummy from the first time I heard and still enjoy it. Watch, in another month Silly Clones will be my favorite track from Katorz  -------------------- yawn
