This is technical, robotic riffs, and inhuman barks and growls, with subtle, yet powerfully difficult, drumming. What i can say is, It hits you in such a way that you find yourself saying, "Wow, what did I just experience?". Whether you like the album or not is a completely different story. Most of the songs might sound too similar but if you follow the beat of that hard hitting guitar sound, you'll be able to tell the difference from each song. Also those tweeky sounding solos that come up help distinguish the songs from each other by creating a different atmospehere. When other bands try too hard to sound heavy they sound generic but Chaos Engine Research manages to only sound like themselves, creating their own.They have their own unique heavyness in their brand of extreme mathematicaly timed music. My grade for "Faces" is 85%, it's an interesting album but I still kind of feel like I'm listening to the same song over and over after listening to the album a few times already. Not bad, good stuff though. Check them out if you really dig Meshuggah or Ion Dissonance as well !!
