Review by FormidDominatus Dec 25, 2005 (edited over 3 years ago)

It's an EP, what is there to say? They're never outstanding. This EP just happens to be satisfying enough to warrant a review.

This CD is everything PostNuclear wasn't. The songs are catchy yet still harbor a tad bit of raw emotion, there are plenty of hooks (The entire title track is one big catchy huggable hook), the percussion is solid and loud. Of the four songs that are introduced on the CD (Quite a lot for an EP), the only one I have trouble listening to is Straight Up, and that's just because it's Paula Abdul. War Dream is too fun a song to put into words, and The Blind sounds like pure Dismantled; a bit of Wumpscut, a bit of Funker Vogt, and a bit of Haujobb.

The remixes are nothing special, but they never are. The "Easy To Swallow" remix of The Swarm should have been the original, which was far too messy. The Feed remix of Breed To Death is repetitive and bland. Wumpscut proves once again to have very little aptitude when it comes to making a good remix, this time on The Swarm. Daedal sucks. And the Psyclon Nine remix of Breed To Death is simply annoying. BUT THE HAUJOBB REMIX. Anything Haujobb touches turns to gold. They call it The Swarm, but the only hint of The Swarm that remains is the word "Enough" sampled endlessly. Haujobb might have well have taken this track, stripped it of the vocals, and released it themselves. But this CD is by Dismantled, so enough of Haujobb.

The title track is great. The other three new songs are satisfying. And the Haujobb remix is SO GOOD. Those are five pretty good reasons to buy Breed To Death.
