The DisasterBlack and White and Red All Over (2002)Alone Records Reviewer Rating: User Rating: Contributed by: Moldy (others by this writer | submit your own) Published on October 8th 2002
Judging by the artwork on this album, I was expecting more of a thrash or power violence band, instead I listened to some really good hardcore with some emotional themes to it. I hesitate to use the word emotional with this album, because when I hear the term emotional hardcore I tend to think of bands like Thursday which alternate between soft and heavy parts in their songs. This band doesn’t do this; from start to finish it is an intense driving album with some brutal guitar parts, mixed with themes of betrayal, loss, and rejection from a lover, as well as frustration and disgust with the world around them. Musically it sounded almost exactly like the heavy parts of Thrice, with none of the slower parts. The singer has a great voice that is also similar to Thrice, but also seems to be a little harder, probably comes from the lack melodic parts on this album. My only complaint with this album is that it is too short, with all the songs less than two minutes, it makes for a intense but too quick of a listen. Please login or register to post comments.

This is a great CD, sounds similar to Kid Dynamite with more of a background in melodic straightedge hardcore. Whats wrong with thrice they arnt bad i mean i wouldnt listen to them over and over...but i would listen to them oh yes, my band played a show with these guys in august. they played super clean and were also really nice guys. i had never heard of them until then and i was quite impressed. my friend bought their cd, and its freaking rad i tell you. I hear great things about this band. I love this cd and urge everyone to check it out. Sentence long title tracks that make no sense are always good. I hear great things about this band.
