I don't know much about Loma Prieta, but Lou Piniella is the greatest MLB manager of all time!

2012 foregoes knocking and just goes straight for sticking the boot up your ass.

"Children's letters to god obviously go unanswered. Kidnapped kids don't come home alive. My friend vanished when we were 12. I still miss her. It's with me everyday. I'll always be the child that can't sign the pardon. It's with me everyday. I promise to stay close to the memory. Life offers no answers."

Loma Prieta finally live up to their potential and create a great screamo record, and then Sputnikmusic lives up to its reputation and overrates the hell out of it.

Sometimes you wonder just how far Screamo can go without being batshit insane like CTTS or
mellowing out and trying a more melodic approach like La Dispute. And then there's Loma
Prieta and they're like 'shut the fuck up and enjoy this quality Screamo' and you do. And
you don't think twice about it.

Everything I wanted and more. This is the album Loma Prieta has always had in them, and it fucking rules.

3 LP's of fantastic but similar sounding music and now a 4th LP that evolves with their signing to a major. rLoma has been a figure head for a more serious and adult sound of screamo and with this Deathwish release, rLoma raises the evolution of the sound they helped put them on the map.

Concise and abrasive screamo (bordering on emoviolence), which makes it both an awesome listen and a frustrating one, as some excellent ideas are not explored enough.

This record is truly the culmination of everything Loma Prieta had been working up to their entire careers. They steadily improved their craft on each release, took everything that was great about those releases, shed the fat off of them, and made I.V. as a result. The explosive, almost dirty production of Life/Less makes a return here to excellent effect, giving the same sense of power to the compositions even when more subdued in tone, as closer "Diamond Teeth" will show you. The juxtaposition of intense discordance on songs like "Trilogy 4 "Momentary"" with melancholic melodies reminiscent of Last City on songs like "Biography" really shows how far the songwriting quality of the band has come. It's all wrapped up in a quick twenty-four minutes, but compared to the other material the band has released, this is a long record for them, and it's structure and intensity is such that it's pretty much the perfect length. It's the final product of phenomenal screamo sound, and the defining moment of their careers so far.

Underneath all of the noise and aggression, there's some amazing melodies here. High 4, will almost undoubtedly 4.5 this before the year's out.

Okay I might be ultra hyped here, but gosh durn. This album is frooting huge. Gigantic I tell you. I don't think there'll be an emo album this year that'll top this, goth violence for life.

Taking a large step into the hardcore/power-violence territory, Loma Prieta creates a record of nonstop in-your-face aggression unlike any other.
