I get the impression that he didn't like the high-pitched vocals and would have given a higher score without them. He also emailed me and asked me to send him a Polaroid photo of my buttocks*.
*this might not be true...

Review from Explicity Intense Magazine
"Biomechanical-The Empires Of The Worlds
Earache
A titanic sound emanates from across the Atlantic,
bearing within it the composition of revolution,
evolution and the god-like ability to redefine metal
at its most base essence. We're talking the Six
Million Dollar Man of metal. Bigger. Faster. Stronger.
Better. Biomechanical is the ultimate amalgamation of
everything that's been right about metal for the past
30 years. Their musical and vocal elements personify
the highest echelon of the true groundbreakers:
Halford, Dickinson, Tate, Schuldiner, Dimebag &
Anselmo (and by that association, Exhorder), all
compiled and genetically altered to present a pure
metal Superbeast. This band completely understands
their roots and influences, and the result is not the
usual rehashed impersonations we hear so often. This
is the next logical step in what metal should be, with
the afore-mentioned greats peering over
Biomechanical's shoulder with proud grins and
approving nods. Biomechanical are metal's future. It's
that simple."

Biomechanical
'The Empires of the Worlds'
The 'Empires of the Worlds of the Heavy Sound' are gathering together for the creation of this new Metal Hybrid which has found its substance and existenz in the shape of Biomechanical. What takes place in this album is simply inconceivable, shocking.
If on their first album you would say that they married today's Metal music with old school Heavy Metal but with a new direction of that style, then you would have to say that with this new album they are even more extreme and experimental opening in this way a new chapter in Heavy Metal history.
Is this an exaggeration? It think not, and just one spin of 'The Empires' is not enough to prove this, as the album is so ahead of it's time, so ground-breaking that it takes dedication and a few spins until it opens you its doors and reveals its brave new Metal world hidden within it.
Just imagine a barrage of Pantera-esque riffs within a new Prog-Metal spectrum, put all this through a Film Score like atmosphere and with vocals that change from extreme growls to high pitched vocals to a staggering effect all that projected by an Andy Sneap mix that leaves no margin for negative comments what so ever.
Millions of notes and ideas put together in a way that there is absolutely no space for doubt in the song structure, sky high tension, melodies that give you a chance to take a breath before plummeting into a torrent of sonic attack and intense atmosphere, all these things describe a daring album that is made for a daring audience. There is no middle ground here.
Everybody knows exactly where they belong!
