Botch's debut is a furious affair of noisy mathcore with occasional post-hardcore riffs that already bang hard, but one whose (very) slight missteps ultimately pale compared to its successors' immaculate virtue.

a lot of people consider metal to be 'just noise'. on the contrary metal is harsh sound tempered and disciplined into a plethora of useful forms. this on the other hand, this is just noise, the musical equivalent of children throwing a tantrum

kicks so much ass I still mail Dave Knudson my lunch money every week. he won't mail back the lyrics to "Dali's Praying Mantis" and it's a weird situation overall.

Strong 3.5 - Everyone always loves to brag about how this album is where ,,Mathcore was born'' well considering rhow much this album actually borrows from ,,Deadguy'' I would have to disagree...but yes these guys were truly rUnique. ,,American nervoso'' is unique, fast spastic and technical, but it does all of this without sounding ,,just'' rlike another chaotic band, Botch does it differently, their music is much more structured and scripted, everything rmakes sense, and that is what is so special about this band, they can Pull of this extreme and fast sound, without rmaking something that is just way too difficult for average hardcore fan, yet they are able to experiment with rheavy, squeeky and chaotic playing. Another great example of their experimentation would be the ambient half of r,,Oma'' or the industrially infused ,,Thank god for worker bees'' Highlights: ,,Hutton's Great Heat Engine'', ,,Oma'', r,,Thank god the worker Bees'',,Hives''

Not We are the Romans, but still a solid album from one of the kings of Metallic Hardcore. As always, the band matched perfectly the intensity and aggressiveness of hardcore punk with a unique sense of melodic-ness and some harmony. 4.1/5
