Illdisposed is anything but predictable. The band have never made an album that just sound like anything else they've done, albeit there are similarities in few sections, but the boys have never just made a copy of previous efforts, and Burn Me Wicked is no different. Labelling Illdisposed as death metal nowadays wouldn't be entirely fitting, since the music is much more than just that.

The fundament of Burn Me Wicked was built on the previous effort 1-800 Vindication, but the band takes everything a step further this time. The electronic samples that were a huge, and important part, of 1-800 Vindication have became an even bigger part of the music. Every track, with the exception of the wonderful unpretentious and punk-like "Illdispunk'd", is soaking in electronic samples. I like this as it adds a somewhat cold and almost industrial feel to the music which goes well with the overall theme about the cold and sad side of love. The clean vocal that were initially introduced on the previous album have also become more apparent. Mikkel Sandager from Mercenary does a fine job with the clean vocals. It once again provides some contrast to the subwoofer of Bo Summer.

The pace generally appears to have been turned up a tad while the ultra heavy and groovy parts seem a little less present than they were on 1-800 Vindication. It doesn't withdraw anything as the techno samples fill out the gab. Batten has written all the music, and he's done a superb job in making a colourful and varied soundscape. With each listen new things seem to pop up. Each song have its own distinct trace, but tracks like "Case of the Late Pig", "Back to the Streets" and "Our Heroin Recess", not to mention "Throw Your Bolts" and Illdispunk'd" are the ones that immediately reach out and grab the listener. The album was recorded and mixed by Ziggy in Zig Zound. It was mastered by Tue Madsen in Antfarm Studio. The outcome is once again a sound that is thick, juicy and with great clarity.

If you expect to find 1-800 Vindication #2, then you'll most likely be terribly disappointed. Burn Me Wicked is not an album that just sinks in after one or two listens. It's an effort that takes more than a couple of listens to fully absorb and digest the product, but it's definitely worth the work. Burn Me Wicked is a unique experience, and Illdisposed anno 2006 definitely sound like no one else.
