The albums have been pretty "this is okay, I guess" lately. I am hoping something comes along soon to knock my socks off. This morning however, my feet remained warm and toasty as I listened to this album.

I liked the tone of this album, but it was just kind of dull and sounded like something we have had heard literally hundreds of times before. If you really dig noise rock, you'll like this. But we all know by now how I feel about a genre that has the word "noise" in its title.

So this is okay, I guess. 

RATING: 2/5

It's cool that we have seen so many phases of the punk genre. Of course, I don't particularly like punk but it's still interesting. As a genre, it seems to evolve much quicker than other styles of music do, and people are constantly shaking up the formula.

I suppose this is post hardcore, which I found much more enjoyable than good ole-fashioned hardcore, because this bears a stronger resemblance to music. Naturally, it still has its moments of angry shouting that I don't really connect with, but there a few catchier tracks in there as well.

So in the end, not my style, but still a quality album.

RATING: 3/5
