UNSEEN TERROR
Human Error (Earache)

Reviewed by Jason Thornberry



Lo-fi mince-core as brought to you by drummer Shane Embury (bassist in Napalm Death) and guitarist/bassist/vocalist Mitch Dickinson (Heresy). Their sense of humor has made a few overlook some of the band’s more thought-provoking terminology, particularly on "Divisions," my favorite. Soon after their session on John Peel’s radio show, this album was reissued on a retrospective anthology commemoration of Radio One session recordings, along with Jimi Hendrix, The Police, Jethro Tull, The Pogues, Elton John, Thin Lizzy, Queen, and The Smiths. Cheers to whomever was smart enough to include a group so contented outside of the customary scaffold of pop. With that, Unseen Terror have secured their place in history. Hopefully this rumor of an eventual reunion will prompt a sequel to Human Error.
