  ... aaand we're back to stupid!

  Well, not really. In fact, not at all... Once you get past how ridiculously heavy and grimy and silly this music is on its face, you start to notice that it's actually good. Like really good. The production on it is a cut above the others in the genre, for one, but there's also a level of technicality to the music itself which suggests that this band very much know what they're doing.

  There's a somber and very serious tone to this album, and compared to more "traditional" slam, there are several pensive progressive sections which help break up the absolute batshit brutality on display throughout the record.

  This may very well be way too niche for it to end up on many AOTY year lists come December, but I actually wouldn't be too surprised if it did.
