From what I can remember (the spring of 2009 was oh so long ago), this album was the first vinyl record I ever picked up. I found it hidden among the other records on the rack and knew I had to get it immediately. I didn't even own a record player at that time but this album is just too good to pass up. It's heavy, crunchy guitar lines are smashed into the well-fitting drums while vocalist Keith Buckley yells over top of it all. The pieces of the Every Time I Die puzzle fit together perfectly and create the epitome of southern metal. The guitar lines have a more southern feel than previous releases while still sticking to their hardcore roots. Keith's lyrics are at their prime and solidify him as my favorite lyricist of all time (or at least this decade, I don't have the time to do musical backtracking (well I actually do I just don't really want to)). From "Indiscernible mute in a swarm of derivatives," to "It's better to destroy than to create what is meaningless, so the picture will not be finished," his brilliant witticisms are unmatched. The group also knows how to work with strange time signatures such as the 5/4 in Pigs Is Pigs or the 3x4/4 & 6/4 (if that's how you'd write it out) in INRIhab. Basically, this band is hard, powerful, intelligent, and kickass. Check them out.Genre: Southern Metal
