Wrath of Circuits is the full-length debut by The Nein, release in 2005. Whereas their earlier eponymous EP The Nein had a primarily dance-punk sensibility, Wrath of Circuits delves into more experimental territory with more complex and oblique songwriting and addition of electronic noise artist Dale Flattum. Critical reception to the album has been somewhat warm, though appreciation for the band's experimentation has been tempered by concerns about lack of accessibility.
