Yawn. Well, this is definitely a contender for one of the worst albums I’ve heard all year. Punish Yourself are a banal industrial metal band that rip off just about everything ever done by NIN, Marilyn Manson, and every other early ‘90s industrial act. Too bad this stuff wasn’t much good then, ‘cause it’s just pure aural crapola now. I’m sure if the band reads this they’ll just think that I don’t “get” their “art”. Well, sorry guys, but I’ve heard just about all of your influences and they weren’t much good either. Screaming noise does not qualify as art just because you say so. All I can say is that the best thing about this band is the very astute choice of moniker. Avoid.
