Album Rating: 5.0

Not my favorite ever, Converge are my goats, but they really might be a top 10 band for me. Like you said, that little Prowler / Terrifyer / Phantom run they had is pretty fucking unreal. And their other records are way underrated.



I never heard Explosions in Ward 6 but I love the 38 Counts of Battery remaster and I’m pretty sure that’s just that album plus a few b sides and demos



Their later records are definitely a step down, but I think Book Burner and Head Cage are still some solid shit. I like Octagonal Stairway and Painter of Dead Girls too. Bands never made anything less than good

Album Rating: 4.5

I haven’t heard anything beyond Book Burner. Agree on it still being solid but a step down though. This and Prowler are my favorites

This album blew my mind back in the day. I couldn't believe how heavy it was. Listened to it over and over again with a group of friends who also loved it.
