Believer make a huge jump with their second album. From the opening
guitar riff, you're hooked. Intricate time signatures, incredibly tight
drumming and thought provoking lyrics all add up to one of the best albums
of 1990, if not the decade. Every song just kicks ass, even the U2 cover?!
which closes out the album. Here they also showcase their talent at
incorporating operatic and classical influences in Dies Irae, a truly
stunning cut. Light years than their previous effort in terms of both
production and song cohesion, this is a must have recording. Sadly, this
was their magnum opus, as Dimensions, while expanding on themes brought to
light here, is not nearly as memorable as Sanity Obscure. 10 out of 10
