Review Summary: Don't hit them with shovels or bury them. Trust me.
I’ll be honest, I had no business downloading this album but for the lulz. After watching the video to “Harder to See” I knew exactly how much progress this band had made since their 2007 debut: jack fu
cking sh
it...
“Hey guys, I got a fu
ckin’ badass idea! Let’s sing about how much harder it is becoming to see from someone else’s perspective while being beat with shovels and even getting buried alive, only to bust our way through the dirt and kick those bitches’ asses!”
…Seriously? Anyway, the vocalist hasn’t changed at all. He’s still the guy with hilariously angry vocals that just makes you think, ironically, “Damn, he’s angry.” He can’t write lyrics at all. I will admit that the new lead guitarist is an improvement, particularly during the solos, but they are still using the same unappealing style as before, so it doesn’t really matter at all. The drumming is actually very boring and mediocre. What the fu
ck is a bassist? I might as well go by the best line of lyrics in each song.
1. ROUND ONE, SWEAR TO GOD I DO IT FOR FUN
First song starts off with what I believed to be some of the worst lyricism I had ever heard… but I hung in there and was proven wrong time and time again. This is just another song about self-proclaimed individuality, which Ivan seems determined to ram that point through your skull.
2. I DARE YOU TO WALK IN MY SHOES
I did notice a pattern with the vocals at this point. Whenever he actually yells, those are the worst (the lulziest) lines of lyrics. It’s like he wants you to hear how terrible it is.
3. YOU CAN’T SHAKE ME DOWN, I’M FU
CKIN’ BULLETPROOF
I love how he says “You can't take the anger building up inside” then yells the chorus.
Fu
ck it, I can’t do this anymore. Track-by-track reviewing was a bad idea. This band almost doesn't suck as bad as my review. Don’t waste your time with this band, it’s worse than generic mainstream garbage. It’s complete sh
it. Consider everything else you could waste your time listening to, even in 2009, before you get desperate enough for this, or…
I’LL SLAP YOU SO FU
CKIN’ HARD, IT’LL FEEL LIKE YOU KISSED A FREIGHT TRAIN
1.5-2/5. Whoever rated this a 5 is insane.
