this is definitely better than hot damn



honestly, i don't get why so many people considered that their best album until this. nothing about it really jumped out as being that much better than NJA or Gutter Phenomenon. it was an awesome album, yeah, but so were those albums. this is the first album of theirs that really jumps out as being that much better than all their other work.

With "Jane Doe", Converge have created the most punishing, guttural and piercing metalcore album to ever exist. It tells a familiar tale in an incredibly compelling and original way, through barely decipherable shrieked lyrics (which oddly enough, are decipherable perfectly at the albums most lyrically important moments) and an incredibly raw and chaotic atmosphere. Bannon's vocals and articulation on here are really otherworldly; while I can understand the hate for his style it literally fits perfectly on the album musically and conceptually. Musically, Bannon's high pitched wails present the story in a unique way, because most of the lyrics seen in the lyric booklet aren't even decipherable at most times through Bannon's desperate cries, but only come out at the albums pinnacle points lyrically. This is a risky, but original and satisfying move, and a hell of a compelling way to tell a story. Koller's drumming is sharp and perfect, Ballou's guitar work is sinister and even more perfect, and the atmosphere that all of these things create is simply unreal. "Jane Doe" is a story about heartbreak and anger, propelled to new heights with Bannon's whines and Ballou's incredible atmospheric touches.
