Principles of Pain--RealAudio

From one of metal's more consistent bands comes a very choppy, disjointed, and pretty much disappointing release. A good flow to the songs is never really established, as both the drums lines and the overall songwriting in general seem to hold the tracks back.
The title track is slower and crunchy, and decent cuts show up in "No Code No Honour," "Pilgrim's Parade," "Creatures of Habit," and "Hypothesis". Still, this falls well short of the levels we've come to expect from the band.

TRACK LIST: Under My Skin/The Inner Room/No Code No Honour/Walking Nightmare/Pilgrims Parade/Principles of Pain/Creatures of Habit/Silence in the Wind/ Hypothesis/Missing Persons/A Child's Breath
