The First Review Of This Work Of Viruosity

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I hope that someone eventually reads this, mostly because anyone reading this is probably considering buying this album. And you should buy this album. This is the best quartet of instrumentalists ever to document their artistry on tape . . . and I'm not exaggerating. Unfortunately, they don't exist anymore, but thankfully they left behind two major recorded masterpieces for posterity. How does ALL LINGO'S CLAMOR sound? Well, essentially it sounds like three amazing guitar players demonstrating their remarkable skills over the pulse of technical proficiency, as related by the drumming of a man named Chad Popple. The vocals, delivered by Nick Sakes, are angry and disturbed . . . visceral. These guys are slightly more accessible than the average Skin Graft artist . . . not that it takes much. But, seriously, these guys combine the raw punk approach with methods of sophisticated musical arrangement as well as any other band I've ever heard. It would be essentially impossible to cover any of these songs. This album is very well organized, and -- if you don't already own it -- you really should."
