Continuum (Mentallo & The Fixer album)

Continuum comprises remastered tracks and remixes from Mentallo & The Fixer's recording sessions circa 1990 to 1993. The collection also draws from the band's first two releases, 1991's Wreckage + Ruin + & + Regrets + (Redemption) and 1992's No Rest for the Wicked.{{cite journal|first=Geoff |last=Baumgartner |url=https://ink19.com/1999/05/magazine/music-reviews/mentallo-the-fixer |title=Mentallo and the Fixer: Algorhythum |journal=Ink 19 |date=May 19, 1999 |accessdate=August 23, 2020}}{{cite journal|first=Chris |last=Christian |url=https://sonic-boom.com/review/matf-3.html |title=Mentallo & The Fixer: Mentallo & The Fixer |journal=Sonic Boom |date=December 1995 |volume=3 |issue=9 |accessdate=August 23, 2020}}{{cite journal|first=Zlatko |last=Zlaya Zgombic |url=https://wiretrapmusic.weebly.com/featured-artists/mentallo-and-the-fixer-rearranging-molecules |title=Mentallo and The Fixer – Rearranging Molecules: Interview With Gary Dassing of Mentallo and The Fixer |journal=Wire Trap |date=August 28, 2017 |accessdate=August 23, 2020}}

Sonic Boom was somewhat positive towards Continuum, calling the album "more of a greatest hits & misses compilation released so that the fans might have an idea of where the band has come from musically" and that "some tracks have the distinct MATF feel to them and others are quite unlike anything else they have ever written before."
