Cost: $1.00
I had no positive expectations here, but hey, it was a buck and had a Metal Blade logo on the back.
Metalcore here, with the metallic component being that stuff that would nowadays be referred to as "technical metal" (I think that's a blatant misnomer as it implies Watchtower-style goodness)--really just a love of schizophrenic tempo changes. I'm not even a fan of the metalcore bands who essentially play straight melodic death metal with shitty vox and breakdowns, so this brand of it was uninteresting to say the least. I thought the last track "93rd and Paddock..." was ok because a.) it's a psychedelic heavy rock instrumental, which isn't really my thing either, but gives me a reprieve from the forced HC vox, and b.) the track is silent for several minutes before a hidden cover of Primus' "Too Many Puppies"--which is marginally better than the entire album as a whole--pops up.
