The album kicks off with the anthemic "Never Going to Kill Us." I can almost hear the crowd singalongs with this one. It kicks in with force and invites you to join in. That is followed by the song which has been quoted ad infinitum in other reviews, and is the song which pretty much sealed my favorable opinion of the band. The song is "No Name" and begins with the great sequence of:

Okay shut up! The Dead guy's got the floor! I might just get emotional so bear with me. Okay shut up! We both know the rules: this is a fifty yard death grip dash for fools!

Other highlights include "Violencer Part II," which begins with a fun little strumming sequence before kicking into a slow chugga-chugge riff with nicely timed double bass. Another track to consider is "Effigy," a rather explosive rocker that features some nice screaming from Watt, along with another sing along chorus. The album closes with a nice pairing of high energy and acoustic madness. First is a six and a half minute journey into drug addiction,"Rachel's Day". It is followed with the album closer "Murder to the Mattress," a track dealing with abortion and a young girl. It features a nicely controlled acoustic guitar helping to guide the vocals threatening to spiral out of control.

Bottomline. It may not be perfect, it may have had a bit too much of a label influence, but it is still a successful album. A collection of songs which have successfully drawn me into a genre which is not my forte. This is a band centered on a talented frontman in Watt White. So, give it a shot, it may just win you over in its high energy infectiousness.

Recommended.
