    The vocal delivery throughout (care of guitarist Woody Weatherman and bassist Mike Dean) is pretty weak, especially compared to Pepper's attention-commanding style, and that, combined with a somewhat jarring mix of fast punk, smothering, Sabbath-ian metal and good-ol'-boy Southern rock, just whets the appetite for the return of Pepper and the big rock.

Album when it comes toCorrosion of Conformity released their self-titled album after nearly seven year hiatus and replacement of vocalist. Album when it comes to quality is uneven - in fact we can find decent songs on it: "Leeches" or "The Same Way". The rest od material shows tend to lower the level.
