 Prong is back= Jun 14, 2009
I was a big fan of Prong back in the 90's- kinda got redirected towards them when I saw a remix of this album, "The power of the Damn Mixer". Dug the remix album- had to get the core music. I would honestly say the remix is better, but for fans both are worthy of collecting.
more back to the old prong Oct 06, 2008
this is alot more like old school prong but the old prong is long die unfortunatly.this seams more worthy of listing to than any thing in 10 years but after puying and listening for a few weeks it doesn't work as well as the old prong better but not great.I desided to sell it because it dosn't grow on me.it's a shame!

 Best Prong Since Beg To Differ May 27, 2008
This is definitely the finest Prong Release since their major label debut, "Beg To Differ" - certainly the heaviest album they have ever created. They seem to have ditched the industrial leanings of albums such as "Cleansing" and "Rude Awakening" in favor of a more straight-ahead thrash metal assault.
Every song on here rages and the production is crystal clear. HOpefully this CD will take them to the top of the metal heap. But as Tommy Victor says, "no justice in life"
Best Prong Record Ever!!! May 22, 2008
I don't know where to begin - this is the record Prong fans hoped would come after Rude Awakening, or even Cleansing. Tommy Victor's guitar tone has never been better, his riffs have never been tighter, the lyrics are back to the OLD Prong socially-conscious ethic and the songwriting itself is damned spectacular. Let's hope Tommy can keep this lineup together because there isn't a bad song on this record.
If you took some of the esoteric subject matter of Scorpio Rising, the social subject matter of Prove You Wrong, gave it the riffage of Cleansing and the guitar tone of Rude Awakening, you would have a rough idea of what this record sounds like - only better. These songs make you want to stomp out and hurt something with a maniacal evil smile on your face while doing it. It's nice to see that after all these years Prong hasn't lost its' touch. If you ever were a fan or were ever curious about this record, GET IT!!!

Pioneers of industrial metal still criminally underrated Apr 24, 2008
I thought Prong was cutting edge industrial metal when I first heard them, on the remarkable "Beg To Differ", which does not get its due for a groundbreaking lean and mean slashing masterwork. Tommy Victor played with ferocity and a hungry attitude, with short soloes but guitar patterns that could set your brain fluid boiling. After the misstep of "Prove You Wrong", they came back with "Cleansing", regarded as their high water mark that set the tone for "Power Of The Damager" with brutal guitars and catchy rhythm work that blasted you into hamburger with a beat.
"Power Of The Damager" is a great Prong CD, full of the energy of "Cleansing", but rife with hostility and hooks. Victor wants to beat you senseless, but do it to a groove. This is industrial without the computers and metal enough to satisfy any Meshuggahh or Fear Factory fan. Prong were pioneers of what one could call the future of heavy music, and sadly even broke up for a time because weenie bands from the alt rock world were hogging up the airwaves. Give this outfit the credit it has earned and deserves. Get the whole catalogue, with maybe the exception of "Prove You Wrong", and a shrug to "Rude Awakening", which was anticlimatic as a follow up to "Cleansing".
