Finding good metal riffs and drumming tainted with a strong tinge of metalcore execution, vibe, and vocal influence at times is kind of like finding filet mignon in a dumpster; it's only something you should even consider eating if you're already to the point where you're living inside of the dumpster (in other words, already in the crowd while a band like this is playing live during a multi-band bill, and forced to either gripe about what sucks or just have a good time and focus on the positive elements, been there many times). Listening to studio tracks with the same level of charity just doesn't work for me, though, gotta have a good buzz and a live band for that. If I'm going to listen to studio tracks, why not pick a band with these good elements and not the bad ones?

I would compare not the exact sound of this band, but the amount of good ideas in this and the equal extent to which so many of those ideas are also ruined by other elements to a band like Black Dahlia Murder, in the sense that I can't tell if it's really good terrible music or really terrible good music; it has enough cool ideas and displays of technique that I SHOULD like it, and yet something insincere and douchy about it completely annoys the fuck out of me at the same time.
