Well damn, it?s not every day that you find a great screamo album. It?s even rarer to find a record that tries to push the boundaries of this rather ?one-dimensional? genre. However, this debut album from the French three-piece outfit is more than a great screamo album that explores the soundscape of the genre. They absolutely teardown the framework of what screamo is and re-build it with entirely new building blocks; welcome to the work of classical screamo. LOREM IPSUM builds a totally new experience of what screamo means by stripping everything down and creating a classical based emotional journey through body dysmorphia and body failures. From the opening track of ?Damocles,? you are shown the emotional pallet of this project and that doesn?t let up for the short album. A must listen and my only flaw is that some of the tracks feel they could have explored more sonically with longer time lengths.
