This confirms two things. First, I like (?harsh) noise. Second, I am entirely illiterate when it comes to noise. For beyond saying that it is quite diverse with different flavours of noise from distorted stuff to walls of white noise, and also that it is quite intelligently made with some pauses and alternation of aggressive and less aggressive phases, I'd be hard pressed to explain why I enjoyed this. But hell I did. What makes a good noise album as opposed to a bad mishmash of random, well, noises? I don't have a clue. 3.8

Sometimes you can guess what an album is going to sound like based on its cover. One would think that Wreck would sound how it's cover looks: raw, grainy, bare, unflinching, dead. And yet, there's so much more to it than that. While many noise projects have the dubious quality of being one-note, Sewer Election evades this notion with startling professionalism and songwriting tact. What initially sounds haphazard and broken slowly unfolds and reveals itself as a carefully crafted juggernaut of harsh noise, constantly progressing in fluid motions while simultaneously sounding as if it's falling apart at the seams. The use of tape manipulation and the odd two seconds of sudden silence seem like natural occurrences in the muck rather than simple gimmicks, and serve to further illustrate the glorious nuances the project has in store. It's truly a piece to get lost into, and in the end that's a impressive achievement in and of itself.
