this band has no shame at all, what a great band to be put together after kid dynamite! each song is incredibly short, tracks on average run to about a minute long, the whole record is 18:39, but it's just a quarter hour explosion of hardcore insanity that will make you want more and more. It makes me happy to see artists out like this today, keeping the hardcore punk sound alive instead of all these other groups converting to screamo, not taht i do not enjoy screamo, it just becomes dull seeing everyone doing it. This is a fun filled piece of work that i have my fullest respect for, all the tracks are catchy and may give an individual an immortal feeling to go and have a great time!

I was about to give this a 4/5, but tried thinking of negative aspects which would merit the 4/5 rating instead of a 5/5, and nothing came up. Everything about this record meets what I believe straight-up melodic hardcore should sound like. Inspiring and aggressive, yet easily decipherable lyrics. Plenty of fast parts to get you all riled up to run around in a circle pit. Perfectly placed breakdowns for good ol' floor-punching action. And, my personal favorite, the intense sing-alongs.

There really isn't much else to say that hasn't already been said about this awesome album, except this: buy it, learn the lyrics, memorize the breakdowns, and catch Paint it Black the next time they come near your town.

if your sick of over-polished pish, all your friends are into dashboard confessional, taking back sunday with a dash of 'really heavy'music like Thursday and you kind of like 'emo' but you know there's something wrong with what they call 'emo' nowadays. (and im sure theres other people like that) then this 18 or so minutes is absolute heaven. its hard hitting, heartfelt and some might say macho, also, fast as anything you've heard. it manages to do 45 second tracks without being one of those artwank bands that you know people only by the records of because they consider themselves eclectic. Its hardcore without sounding as dated as your black flag cds, buy this album fer christsakes.

Well being the huge Kid Dynamite fan that I have been since the beginning this was an easy sell on me!.Paint it Black keep the tradition of Kid Dynamite alive in the music sense but Dan Yemin's Doctorate in philosophy brings the lyrical aspect to a whole new level.This guy is a F**kin genius!!!!!He keeps the vocal style of Jason Shevchuk but where he had the rasp Dan has pure aggression!So if u do anything in your random existence buy this cd!!!!And while your at it pick up anything Kid Dynamite and None More Black!!!!!!

CVA = cerebrovascular accident

After suffering a terrifying stroke several years back, PAINT IT BLACK's vocalist Dan Yemin started looking at life differently. As anticipated by the title, much of this album deals with recovery, rebuilding, and re-evaluation. Having this personal context in mind, these songs actually stand out from most of the abrupt, abbreviated hardcore which is in vogue right now. Starting triumphantly with a gruff scream, this is post-trauma stress whittled down to 17 songs in just under 19 minutes. Each song is played tightly and aggressively. The LP's song-to-song pacing is relentless, as it should be, barely allowing any breathing room between tracks. I can only imagine what the live show is like.
