Drums sound absolutely fantastic! The vocals can get stale as can the extremely down tuned guitars with repeat listens. Aside from the aforementioned flaws however; this album is awesome, all songs flow together nicely and all are exponentially brutal in their own way.rNot to band: gang vocals are gay, please quit.Pig Destroyer TerrifyerStrapping Young Lad Heavy as a Really Heavy ThingTrepalium H.N.P.This band had me at Alchemik Clockwork of Disorder and then expanded my love for them even further with XIII. The groove on HNP is a lot like it was on XIII and it just seems to flow effortlessly in this band. The production value is solid, the tracks never get boring, and the musicianship is absolutely concrete. rThe only thing stopping this album from being considered a classic is the repeat value, there isn't much. I couldn't listen to this album over and over again and get the same amount of enjoyment I got out of it with the first spin. Nevertheless though, you will be hooked for at the very least a few spins of the disc once you get a taste of the infectious grooves laid forth on this album.3.5 greatPig Destroyer Book BurnerThis album is hard to classify as it is an isn't a full fledged PxDx experience. This album is hard as fuck but just doesn't live up to its predecessors. Why? One thing, the production value (especially on the vocals) just suffers and the material while good isn't good enough to make up for that fact. rJ.R. Hayes used to have a bite to his vocals that left you almost hungover from pure brutality the next morning. On this album though he just sounds worn out and tired compared to his efforts on Terrifyer and Phantom Limb. rScott Hull has some skull bashing riffs on this album but once again it falls under the curse of the previous paragraph. His riffs just don't have the bark that they used to have. Go back in time and listen to Junkyard God and compare it to any song on Book Burner and you'll see what I mean.rThe drummer is new and it happens to be the same dude that beats skins in Misery Index. Adam Jarvis is his name and he is the man.......... Just not in this band.rAll in all this album has its moments and it is a true grindcore album. Its just not the PxDx album I was hoping for which sucks because so far this fall has seen some of the greatest releases in Metal/Death Metal history.
