Two years later I finally got a copy from my brother John and it fucking slays just about everything that's come out of Massachusetts, ever, and I mean that with no exaggeration on my part.

Seems to be the absolute perfect culmination of the years they spent together as a band, as far as I can tell. The surfiness is still in there, but it's blended a lot more subtly with the thrashy/grindy insanity. Mark's vocals are ferocious. Seems like he learned to perfect the highscream during his time in Watchmaker. Nick nails that shouting scream that he has, the gang shouts sound huge, the drumming is Gillis at the best I've ever heard him...

and the RIFFS! Good fucking god, the RIFFS!

Brad and Mark and Nick are criminally underrated on their respective guitars and bass. Likewise with John on drums, even though he's been in every band you ever pretended to like whenever someone in an AC shirt said he liked your Today is the Day shirt at that Watchmaker show your boyfriend dragged you to.

You don't know what you're missing, both album-wise and live-wise.

I miss this band so damn much.

R.I.P. 2 years too little too late, to a truly unique band.

I am not a reviewer.
