Greeley Estates heads a new direction

"Greeley Estates has changed their sound quite drastically. Go West.., their previous album, I love. It is one of the most unique and creative "screamo" albums out there. It used odd vocal samples, songs with nothing but clean vocals, and a few slow electronic songs. The music was definitely in the higher register.
NRNR, however, is Greeley Estates' ultra metal album. No slow electronics, barely any clean singing, just pure straight up thrash metal. Chugging guitars, fast double bass; just all the trademarks of a metal album. The screaming also mostly stays in the deep growls. It's a great album; however compared to Go West' variety, it can sound a little monotinous. Still pick it up though, you won't be dissapointed.
P.S. - The artwork is REALLY cool."
