God Is In The TV
A montage of beat-tastic schizoid electronica to be played at the highest possible volume prior to banging your head as hard as you can off a club wall

Consequence Of Sound
It’s easy to judge their criticisms as a “back in my day” condemnation of a scene they helped create, but their actions show otherwise; The Day Is My Enemy is meant to inspire the next generation of main stage headlining DJ electronic artists

There are easily as many misses as hits on the album, and 14 tracks is probably about seven tracks too long
