Man idk where else to put this but all y'all nerds should 100% check out Officer Negative's Death Campaign Project, it's on the spotify.



Found it in a stack of really lame white people CCM at work but the artwork grabbed my eye so I did some googling and was piqued enough to search it on spot and check it out and I was pretty blown away.

Seems pretty relatively unknown/overlooked and definitely gives me like early NJ/The Chariot vibes with the riffs and vocals but also has some pretty unexpected and nice doomy/post sections like this album, definitely worth checking out if you're into this kind of chit. Some dudes from the band Akeldama who I'm also not familiar with other than seeing the band name a couple times and being like "isn't that a The Faceless song?" are associated I guess but I can't find anything else about what these guys are doing now if anything, sad.

Going from Warmth to Several Tiers Below is where I went from being like o this is some fun 00s Metalcore I missed to holy shit why hasn't everyone been listening to and talking about this my whole life.

Not scratching the same itch as this for me, but it's good. Nice shout

Album Rating: 4.5

I wouldn't put it on this level and it's not really the *same* but it's better and more unique than a lot of generic 2004 metalcore I've heard for something way off the map I'd never heard of.

That Warmth/Several Tiers back to back and again that monster post instrumental Reality of Emptiness into The Winter Has Past are absolute highlights and a genre blend ahead of their time.



Apparently they were a xtian punk band and fully revised their sound/fired their vocalist and had their bassist scrim (the vocals on this are absolutely sick and I haven't heard the earlier stuff so I just assume it was a good move especially assuming they weren't scrimming on that stuff) for this album but also broke up in the process of releasing it, were going to change their name from Officer Negative to Death Campaign (Officer Negative is so much fucking cooler) but wound up with this convoluted ass name instead to try and keep it attached to their earlier body of work and maybe sell it idk.

I never got why people had such a hard-on for this album in '06, and I still have no idea in 2023. There's nothing this does that Safety doesn't do better. The hooks are pretty weak, the only thing this has going for it is some of the longer tracks have some nice breathing room

Album Rating: 4.5

Hmmm. It certainly upped the ante musically in many ways, and changed their sound to be less post hardcore conventional for something more… complex?



Hard for me to put into words, but I will say this has grown off me quite a bit. I’d rather listen to TOCS, LITSOS, and Disamb over this

"There's nothing this does that Safety doesn't do better."



TOCS era UO could never pull off a song like Returning Home Empty Handed. Every single aspect of the band got pushed to its extreme on this album (and again on Disambig) which is why everyone still has a hard-on for this album to this day.



Imagine TOCS Spencer trying to do these songs with his shrill screams. Shit would sound so ass. If anything we should be questioning why TOCS gets so much hype, half of it is complete dogshit wrapped in a sweet nostalgia coating.

Album Rating: 3.5

Returning, Shadow, and closer standout. The rest I could take or leave. While Safety is very much a product of its time and is kind of immature, that album is like wall-to-wall infectious choruses. It's excellent at what it does. I can never connect with this one.

Album Rating: 4.5

What Jeet said. This album does everything better than TOCS, choruses included

And Spencer is at the top of his game here

Album Rating: 5.0

This album legit does not have a single weak song, interlude aside. Everything here is razor sharp even today. I love TOCS more than most, but it is not on the same level as this.

Album Rating: 4.5

I like TOCS more than this album and listen to it way more but DTGL is their best IMO. There was a huge jump in songwriting and Spencer's vocals with this release and it took everyone by storm.



Jeet calling TOCS half dogshit is on brand but I won't stand for it.
