5.0 out of 5 stars
...the ugly and heartless will inherit the earth...if this isn't enough truth for you...bleep..., June 13, 2008
This review is from: Ugly: Heartless (Audio CD)
...every now and then you listen to something that you didn't expect to be good...oddly enough when I saw the cover of an open suitcase I was expecting some kind of flimsy electronica band or a very heaavy stoney band...what I got was a very pleasant surprise...
...the whole album has a really quick franticness about it(seeing as what the band were named after...makes sense) and the instrumentals will flare into very quick riffs, groovy riffs, and heavily distorted riffs (and the odd accoustic melody in there) the drums can follow the complex and randomly changing rhythm very well...
...take the song "Eating Lightning II" as an example...starting with a huge amount of feedback suddenly a quick and frantic riff combined with the yell (it is a very beautiful yell...if that's possible) and then turns into a slower more sludgy riff with low growls...then transforms into a very groovy (perhaps Sabbathy riff)...it then randomly jitters away to itself mutely and yet again explodes into action...the only part of this song that is repeated is the groovy riff...besides that everything about it is completely different...like when someone is trying to break in if one method doesn't work they will try multiple other methods...
...I would call it mathcore because of the variety of time signatures and riffs per song...but you may call it as you wish...they have a new album coming out soon and I am awaiting it's listen...
