Nora has the all the right substance as well as element when it comes to hardcore music... There isn't one disapointing song here and my favorite is kill you for a doller. Nora gave an awsome performance with that song "kill you for a doller" on hellfest! Buy nora's Loser's intuition and keep true underground hardcore music alive and support trustkill records arlight ? Keep the scene alive!

With that out of the way I must say that I am very, very impressed with NORA's "Loser's Intuition" album. It combines the technical instrumentation of acts like Snapcase and Dillinger Escape Plan, but it doesn't place it on too hard, they let the melody shine through. With melodic hardcore becoming oh so popular with acts like Poison the Well (signed with Atlantic) and From Autumn to Ashes (great band, probably the next PTW) its good to find a melodic hardcore band, in this case NORA, that still lays down the CORE of it all, and it lays it down HARD. As far as lyrics are concerned, I could care less what these guys sing about, just as long as they scream it to perfection like so. For a taste of the bands pure talent check out "Nobody Takes Pictures of the Drummer" and for a nice touch of their good melodic sense check out "Leadpipe Moment". This album definitely stands out in the over-crowded, and often redundant, hardcore marketplace.

Don't get me wrong here... Nora is kinda of a weird name for a hardcore band but still a good name for a hardcore band! Nora's disc loser's intuition is not only a masterpiece but also very insightfull for any newcomer to hardore music and has no clue about it. Seeing them at hellfest made me very happy so i suggest you buy Nora's disc loser's intuition alright ? Enjoy !

Trustkill Records has an incredible line-up on their roster, including bands like: Poison The Well, 18 Visions, and Hopesfall. Another one of these bands is Nora.

Nora play straight up hardcore with some good melodies. While a lot of their music isn't anything new(save for some cool guitar parts, the drumming is a bit weak), Nora write great songs with a lot of meaning. While I'm not gonna sit here and disect every song for you, buy the album, and check out the lyrics book after you have listened to the whole album, as they have put meanings for all their songs in there, good stuff.

Tracks to check out: "Warthog", "Nobody Takes Pictures Of The Drummer", "Leadpipe Moment", "Wave Goodbye."

i haven't heard hardcore this good in a long time. most hardcore sounds all the same these days, running together like a big blur - this just rules! it stands on it's own two feet, it's technically proficient, emotionally charged and amazing. i can't think of a song i didn't like on this CD, "my bloody clownsuit" and "warthog" are especially great. if you like hardcore, you won't be disappointed.

This band, though from the hot spot that the current crop of technical metalcore bands has sprung up from, is a poor representation of the genre. Simplistic drumming with hardly any fills, inaudible bass lines, boring guitar parts, and weak production (though that's not really a fault of the band) make this album a snooze - And not one of those pleasingly boring albums; this thing just sinks like the Titanic. There are a few points with interesting guitar parts, and the vocalist definitely has a grasp of his vocal style, but aside from them, this album definitely is not worth it, and as said above, is a very poor representation of this genre of music.

Words cannot describe how good this cd is. If you are a metal fan and you dont have this cd i feel really bad for you. I dont know how to describe it all i can say it is a must buy.
