This album is extremely aggressive. There are no slow moments to be found here. The vocals are pure distorted screaming, and the music is basically just noise. Thrashing guitars and drums create the music here. There are some really cool electronic elements in these songs as well. Even though these songs are basically just noisy thrash punk, they each do sound different. They all include slightly different elements that make them stand out. This is pure anger fueled music. It just doesn't get any harder than this. But it's not repetitive and boring. It's actually catchy with some really cool rhythms and beats. I especially like the song "Happy Camper". I have never heard anyone sing as fast as the singer of this band does on this song. It's simply amazing. If you want an album that is pure angst energy, this is the one.
