4.0 out of 5 stars Mondo-distorto-thrash!, February 6, 2003

By	Ryan (california) - See all my reviews

"Critcal Exploder" is NOT for the weak-eared. Japanese thrashers Exclaim tear through track after track of fast, chaotic, and most of all, distorted hardcore punk, similar to bands like Charm and Idol Punch.
Exclaim's recording style is more blown out and fuzzy than noise punk gods Confuse or Gai, and that's saying something. Most songs sound like a blur of feedback, near blast-beat drums and screaming coming through a blown out speaker... but that's the point. This will scare away the most die-hard thrashers within a few tracks, and indeed, this is tough to listen to all the way through. But if your ears can take the beating, Exclaim uses an interesting way to get one to actively listen to their disc. This isn't background music -- it grabs you by the throat and makes you say uncle!
The tracks from the "Out of Suit" 7" tacked onto the end are more listenable, less fuzzed out, but with the same spastic thrash style. "No Skate No Thrash" is a classic in the making.
Good stuff.
