"Fucked Up [...] the best hardcore album band of at least the last 2 decades"
KharBevNor:
I got into Contrastic when I heard this song, which made a lot of sense back when I was pretty obsessed with The Berzerker and Curse of the Golden Vampire. Fairly atypical though, but then that could really be used as a blanket statement for them. Their (unfortunately only) full-length is well worth checking out.
Ballard:
Skipping this lame circle jerk to say:
Jesus what a piss-poor fucking review. I couldn't make fun of it as soon as I read it because jesus, it's some of the worst writing I've seen, even by Pitchfork standards.

I think it's a reaction to Twilight of the Thunder God kind of sucking.

Dog did you not listen to Varyags Of Miklagaard? The guitar harmonies on that make up for the rest of the album.
Damnable Fiend:
I'll give it another listen. To be fair I haven't heard anything but the title track (which is actually pretty good, I thought, and has the added bonus of being in an awesome music video) since I went to see them live (I think I tried listening to it like five times all the way through before that). For me anyway, everything after the end of the title track sounded like the worst sort of generic melodic death metal.
edit: you know, this isn't half as bad as I remembered. Apart from the parts where it's just that main riff playing, anyway. It's a boring riff. Also the production on everything but Johan's vocals is too slick. anyways, not bad, yeah.

I thought an "album band" was one that didn't release singles, because they didn't get any radio airplay :? You know, like all the good ones.. :lol:
