(8.5)
Awesome post hardcore pre emo album by the notorious Chicago suburban punks who defined the sound of the early 90's hardcore punk scene. This raw gritty album was the first of it's kind. The best part of the sound of this album is the dynamics, they're all over the place. One second it will be a soft strumming of a guitar and the next minute lots of screaming. It's emotional, dramatic, fast, slow, loud, soft and highly energetic. They do shifting dynamics better than the pumpkins.
The album was comprised of the best tracks of their 8 track demo tapes and their first and only album. My favorite jumpers are Que Suerte!, The Sands Have Turned Purple and Little League.
Sounds Like
At The Drive in minus all the crazy effects and sound manipulation
