RYM got this one right. Something that was not even on the DB, but it has a couple hundred solid ratings on there. I was honestly worried my speakers may be destroyed with this one. Great googly-moogly it's exhausting to listen to at times. The album is actually pretty short at only 36 minutes, but the 18 minute closer is an exercise in punishment. There are also enough moments of respite to create a captivating and rewarding listen. It's not a constant pummeling of noise but a calculated one. Adding to my chart, because it was exactly what I was looking for.
Tilly, so many great options, but I want you to listen to GZA's "Liquid Swords".

Damn this was excellent. There was a lot of variety on this album that kept me engaged throughout it's run time. Hell it make's me curious if there was anything wrong with this album. But I would need to verify with multiple listens. Otherwise this was an excellent record.
Grade:90 but could be a 95 in the future.

Nice! Glad you like it! One of my faves from that year. ๐

A cathartic blast of hardcore punk energy. I enjoyed this a lot. More than I was expecting. Henry Rollins is a good frontman. Can see it being a grower in the future. Will have to check out My War at some point. This review is also cheesy humor. 3.5/5.

2. Luigii, I guess I would want to check out the Death Cab For Cutie album the most.

Another Wolf Eyes album in the bag, which was better than the last one, because of added saxophone freakouts, and more passages of pure chaos.
The final track "Noise Not Music" is a great treatise for the genre, with Aaron Dilloway screaming "WE MAKE NOISE, NOT MUSIC!!!!!" Some of the delivery verges on comical.
Glad you like Damaged Baystate. "My War" and "Slip It In" draw the songs out to longer lengths, and are more of a precursor to sludge metal than pure hardcore punk like Damaged.
A lot of good ones to choose from. Let's go with Ocean Songs.

I definitely do think this is a great album. But compared to there 2000 album this doesn't hit the same highs. Hopefully there 2003 record gets me pumped due to being one of the best for that year. Otherwise I will Grade it an 85.

On my very first chart when I joined this site, this was #3 or #4 on my overall. Arguably the greatest punk/hardcore album of all time.
Luigii, the live Radiohead album is the only one I've heard. Go for it.

This is cool. Post-rock and slowcore put together, with no vocals. The atmosphere is indeed oceanic. A very pleasant way to spend 67 minutes, but there's not a lot to latch on to in terms of standout moments. 3.5/5.

2. Sheer Hellish Miasma sounds interesting.
