"Ok, far too many people dish out 5 star ratings to everything they've ever seen, this is stupid, and annoying, and doesn't allow people reading the reviews to get any idea of the rating system.4 stars is the most i've ever given in a review before...4 stars=superior to others in it's Genre.This Cd isn't just something you put on because you like a specific song, this cd is a musical experience, like sitting down to watch a movie, you don't select your favourite scene before you've experience the whole show. It explodes into riff chaos, drummers arms flailing around, vocal chords get smashed against a wall and dragged along a grater. This is brutal, after the initial explosion, rythm takes control, and pushes forward into the first song. Each song explodes and cascades across a jagged metal landscape, but they indulge into real diversity within and inbetween each song, calming down for ambient brakes and tense build ups, un-predictable, with no hooks, just good, honest, metal.Words are rubbish, they're someone elses opinion, i recommend the cd, support smaller bands."

Watch out.

"There's something in the water in Boston and this year The Red Chord have proved it by following up last year's Boston hardcore/metal masterpieces (Converge's Jane Doe and American Nightmare's Background Music) with a tech metal album that is both accessible and fun yet still innovative. Combining the best aspects of death metal, grind, and hardcore, The Red Chord deliver a disemboweling nine song, thirty minute time signature juggling expose. Incomprehensibly fast and original drumming, technical riffing, and some of the best Godzilla impressions in years are all present. The Red Chord have raised the bar for technical metal on their first release, an astounding feat to say the least. Metalheads, expect to hear much more from this little known band in the future."

Heavy and technical Metalcore

"Yes the more emoish metalcore is becoming so "trendy" but that's cool, just as long as they're good, but for AMAZING metalcore, Red Chord is where it is at. This nine-song masterpiece ends in just under half hour and delivers some of the most intelligent compositions heavy music has heard. Sometimes so backwards that you can't even tell what's going and other times so bone-crushing that you have to step away from the speakers for fear of your life, but no matter what the riffs work together perfectly through each song. The guitarist is incredible. The drumming is superb as well, with lots of quick time changes and riffs that are played once, the man on the throne keeps it together and flowing. All in all this is great for fans of truly talented music and should be in your CD collection. BUY IT!"
