A disjointed and claustrophobic sound massacre of anguish, genius, madness, cruelty, composition at the peak of mental deviation. No genre to identify it, perhaps only an adjective, that yes: insane.

"'Enjoy' presents itself as a watery over-sweetened pop-punk that is superficial and does not match the (decent) expectations." The singer Karolina delivers 'frequent off-key notes' and a voice that is 'excessively teen—appealing perhaps to some pedo-listeners, but all in all, simply irritating."

The proposal in question is of the more sugary and adolescent kind, with attached screams from a fringed queer. The only salvageable tracks... rely on the powerful screamed verses by singer Tin, though they regularly get lost in choruses that are decidedly too irritating, catchy, and whiny.

The 2006 album 'Through The Eyes Of The Innocent' by Debeli Precjednik suffers from overly sugary emo and mainstream influences that undermine its hardcore claims. A couple of tracks show some heavier promise, but overall the album features irritating, whiny choruses and lacks consistent drive. Fans of ultra-melodic hard core or bands like Alesana might find some appeal, but the reviewer finds the album disappointing. Previous albums included on the bonus disc fare even worse. Explore the full review to see why 'Through The Eyes Of The Innocent' struggles to deliver true hardcore energy.

The furious riffs and the never too tame lines of the excellent Fabbe give the right tone to this good episode. The raw 'Moralkakor,' undoubtedly the peak of the record, finds Fabbe still in great form.
