Editorial Reviews

Big Business feature members of The Melvins. This is their second full-length and it's harder, faster, and catchier than the first, unfurling all the mammoth riffs, furious vocals, and blazing drum work you've come to expect from this LA band. "Some of the most relentless, unyielding, and profound music in heavy metal today" - Thrasher Magazine. "These guys manage to deconstruct, reinvent, and then rebuild the typical noise rock formula" - Chord.

Are you into crushing displays of intense metal riffage supported by substantial amounts of pure drumming insanity, then you should pick this up. Jared Warren and Coady Willis are rewritng the book of intense, purposeful thrash metal. Think if The Melvins and Motorhead had a baby (then these guys would be their own parents. Weird, huh?). Just buy it.

Big Business' new full length comes off as a new take on the music that inspired this record. It sounds like the best elements of an unknown independent music scene showing influences instead of copycats. To begin first and foremost the bass and drums stand out like you wouldn't beleive. The opening track begins with a forceful drumbeat and bass sound that makes you want to continue listening. Production on this is fantastic! Every instrument stands out on it's own, which is something that most bands now as of lately can't seem to understand. I wouldn't say the songs are catchy, but they do have an element about them where upon second listen, you'll definetly remember hearing it the first time around. I'm not familiar with this band's first album but I heard so much rave about this album that I felt like I had to hear this for myself and I'm glad I did. So overall, great songs, great production, great musicianship, great album. So far in my top 5 for 2007.

5.0 out of 5 stars Biggest Surprise Since Helmet's 'Strap It On', September 19, 2007

I bought this album in advance of seeing Big Business with the Melvins in Sacramento. The album immedimately caught my attention with its incredible muscianship, and its intense bass and guitar chops. Well, the live show absolutely blew me away! These guys are incredible; I have been listening to this album pretty much nonstop for a week. I haven't done that since I bought Helmet's first two albums almost 16 years ago. Another reviewer's reference to Motorhead is spot on. The guy who plays guitar on the album is interesting in his own right, and he absolutely jams on this album. BUY IT!
