"A very crunchy release. The A-side, Spasms, is composed of a lot of loop-based sounds which I wasn't expecting. Crunchy loops that last for 5, 10, or 20 seconds and then move on to a newer quasi-rhythm, all while staying very harsh and textural. I've been listening to some earlier Macro material from the 90 to 92-ish era recently as well and there are similarities in method to that sound. While never straying away from being overtly harsh, there is a bit of variety in the sense that I hear some buried samples, vocals, and other elements sprinkled beneath the waves of harshness.

B-side, Excretions, is more free-flowing electronics but still has some loop elements, but far less. A good mix of mid and lower-end frequencies. Really punishing sounds. Full-spectrum press. While side A was good, side B for me is definitely the star of the show and top-tier DBL. The man really was doing the harsh full spectrum stuff that influenced so many in the mid-2000s crunchy noise scene. I just heard The Rita or The Cherry Point before I heard DBL due to the timing of getting into noise and what was available. Excellent LP." [Fistfuck Masonanie]
