Diät have honed in on a very specific mix of post-punk and deathrock that was perfected (and possibly invented) by Crisis and has hitherto never seen its equal. It may be true that Warsaw laid the groundwork for this sound, but Crisis carved their own niche by injecting peace-punk with dark, minimalistic goth and post-punk riffs. A few others have tried to recreate this satisfying concoction in recent years, but only Diät have succeeding in sounding genuine in their efforts. The tones, pacing, and vocals on "Positive Energy" are just perfect, occasionally summoning early Christian Death during the more driving moments. It may be obvious that Diät's influences were painstakingly researched, but for once, it paid off.
