very good loud mosh pit music
very chaotic and interesting, lots of loud crashing sounds mixed with fun little detailed sounds
it is not a serious emotional album, it triumphs in its noise, more like a bad LSD trip on cocaine and speed
a fun cd to listen to, never a dull moment

Heavy Heavy Low Low is far from my favorite band. They're strange, they have no musical training (literally, they just kind of picked up and started playing), and did I mention they're strange? That said, their Ferret debut "Everything's Watched, Everyone's Watching" is worth a listen for any metalcore/grind fan. This is not that album. I don't get it yet, but I know I like it. The guitars sound different, not as hard. There are lots of weird and 'trippy' effects, and overall they stopped where they were going and went in a different direction. I've been disappointed by a lot of new albums this year, and I'm glad to say this isn't one of them. After the second or third listen, it becomes less disorienting. My only real complaint is that the songs do run on the short side, and I would have especially liked the songs with guest vocals to have gone on a bit longer. Also, the artwork doesn't really do it for me. The whole 'psychedelic' thing isn't really my deal. In the end though, if you're expecting another "Everything", not this time. A solid effort if you put away your expectations.

This is awful stuff, not sure I would call it "music" with a straight face. Saw this at Hot Topic and sampled most of the songs. Must be pretty easy to get published these days. I'm sure it won't be easy to con people into actually buying this, however. The cover art is something to be "proud" of but that's not saying much, and that's as positive as it gets.
