Passionate and chaotic Screamo that lives up to the name of the genre as the vocalist desperately shreds his throat cords apart for much of the 29 minute runtime. Ostraca are very convincing in their their mission on 'Last' but in the end the repetitive vocals and chaotic, meandering music do not leave all that many individual moments that standout. The album starts off loud and intense and this continues for the first three songs. The true standout here is 'Nausea,' a track that builds up incredibly slowly before exploding with gut wrenching screams for the latter portions. Beyond 'Nausea' the rest of the tracks are very similar and the passionate screams are sometimes lost upon the often run of the mill songwriting and instrumentation. Worth checking out for the raw passion and intensity and seemingly loved among Screamo connoisseurs but the repetitiveness of the music is tiring even in sub thirty minutes.
