...again

"There's movement all over the place!" This opening statement of this third Blamed record pretty much describes what's happening here. The band, which made a decided turn to the heavy side with the jump from 21 to Frail, has kept on course with mind-numbing heaviness mixed with punk fury. Pit a drummer like Jim Chaffin and a guitarist with Bryan Gray's experience and you get some awfully tight playing. What else can I say? This music would make me wreck my car if I was driving and listening to it, but I'd probably still be drumming on the steering wheel after the accident with a grin on my face, screaming blatantly evangelistic lyrics at the curious witnesses. I love it! The band makes nice use of more than one riff to keep a three-minute song interesting. I don't know how an old school punk wouldn't fall in love with the passion and intensity of these 12 songs; nor do I believe a metal fanatic could resist the fat, round and crunchy tones from the heavy guitar riffs. Thanks be to God for decent production! This album is real. [Grrr recordS/ DV]
