Even Supporting Caste didn't prepare for the aural onslaught that is Propagandhi's Failed States. The band dives full on into prog-thrash with no apology and pretty much just beats the shit out of you the entire 37 minutes without mercy. It's most like TETA but heavier and more complex, and the Rush influence is HUGE in some songs. It's not an easy listen but oh so rewarding, and definitely their most unforgiving offering yet. It just fucking kills. Easy best of 2012. Favorite songs: the whole thing
This boy is pretty fun, like a good ol' game of catch on amphetamine. Unfortunately, it's still not the mind-blowing/special experience you were hoping for.
