#FOR FANS OF: Thrash/Crossover

Probably the strongest Municipal Waste release that I've heard! It clocks in in under 30 minutes but the music/vocals captivates! I like the guitar the most and well the vocals were anything but annoying. This is a definitely good crossover/thrash band that's put together a great career! I think they did the metal community justice after all these years. Their albums may be short, but they hell of pack a punch, that's for sure. I'm not big on the lyrical concepts, I support their music only. Not what they write about. This one again the songs are short but catchy as all hell! I liked every song on here!

The riffs are way cool and the intensity is high. Definitely a band that you either love or hate though. I say that because it seems to be the case with listeners. I'm new to crossover and I'm liking it a lot! It's a change from death metal, I just need a break from that. The whole band contributed equally on here. They definitely contribute to metal's unique twist here. Everything seemed to fit into place with this release. I like a lot of their albums though. But yeah, this one hits home for sure. They just put it out there to the listener and a lot of people are saying the same thing about this one: it rocks!

The sound quality was good, maybe top notch! Everything on here is mixed really well! I'm glad they had that happen for them where everything seemed to come together on here. I hope that they were definitely proud of this release. They sure as hell amped the intensity! It's a half an hour of ear grueling noise-core! The vocals compliment the music well. I'd say this was likeable the first time around! Really good job on here, the music is the most convincing. And the vocals seemed to keep up that pace here, ABSOLUTELY. They did this band justice with making an everlasting effort to their genres.

I ordered the CD to this album. It was released in 2005 but hey I'm still old school when it comes to LP's. I like to have the physical copy of the album. I'm downsizing my collection, but the classics like this one will stay! If you're streaming, this one is available. Actually, quite a few of theirs is online. I checked out some before I ran into this one. I'm looking at the review scores and have to agree that this one deserves a perfect score wholeheartedly. They put together some great songs. I just wish that the album lasted longer. Oh well, I value the whole 30 minutes of this one! Check it! (Death8699)

#FOR FANS OF: Thrash/Death

Another solid release by this band! I enjoyed the whole album. I don't like the vocals as much as on previous releases though. They're a bit annoying even though it's still Ryan Waste singing. I enjoyed the music immensely, just took points off for the voice. Not the back-ups, just the main one. The guitar riffs make up for it though, probably one of the stronger Municipal Waste releases in the music department. I enjoyed this the whole way through. Another 30 minute album though. I wish they were longer, but it is what it is. I think that they did a lot of justice to the metal community over the span of 20 years.

A lot of good riffs on here and it's a good thing that you can hear the bass throughout the album. A lot of bands the bass is barely audible. Not on their releases. They just sound awesome the whole way through the guitars flourishing. It's amazing they have fresh riffs release after release! I don't see many flaws with the album, it's full of energy and vigor! And the leads are good, not really sloppy. The rhythms I like the most of! The vocals are just a little irritating but nothing not worth stomaching. This whole release is full of energy! I like the music the most and the sound is good.

Another under 30 minute release here but it's worth a listen to if you want to take a break from death metal or doom. It's full of good vibes and electricity. These guys are masters on how to create some quality music. A lot of their albums are similar though, but they're still really awesome. These guys are in this music scene for about 20 years still lighting up the eardrums! A lot of the songs are on average of 2 minutes tops but there are I believe 14 tracks on this one. They really know how to generate speed in the rhythms are the vocals are just annoying to me. That's the only aspect of the album I disliked.

Check out this one for it's electric vibe and crossover twist. I found it to be really likable and quick. These guys show that they're on top of their blended genre. They don't give up with their unique sound and static tempos. They just don't ever seem to let up the whole way through. They just keep on jamming it home and the leads are decent. Definitely one of their top releases to date. Only a few other top this. I found only a few things that were just on my nerves and I discussed that. If you're looking for dynamite crossover/thrash checking out 'Slime and Punishment'! (Death8699)
