№ 174 on The 250 Best Electronic Albums of the 21st Century

Kill Sound Before Sound Kills You turns breakcore into deliberate provocation. Abrasive samples, chaotic edits and genre-trolling energy pushed until coherence itself becomes part of the joke. 'Site Specific Sound Installation' lasts forty-one seconds and 'Ecstasy Motherfucker' runs nearly nine minutes, in that order. It can feel hostile to album form, but that refusal of neatness is inseparable from its underground influence.

№ 12 on The 10 Best Breakcore Albums

Sugar and shrapnel, and the record that took the genre closest to pop without softening a single edit.
