Track 1. Fucking Troublemaker- The album starts off in the thick of the action. Some delicious yet heavy riffs rock your way. A groove that flows perfectly with a steady force of electricity steam rolls ahead without question. Vocal clarity and expression are pretty damn good. Drum's are tight yet powerful. The music slows down a bit bringing along a clean guitar riff that sounds something like a banjo? A slithering melody takes over. The track alternates back and forth some, with the stop and go action in the song itself. The syncopation changes more, keeping things from becoming too repetitive. Explicit lyrical subject matter. Decent song overall, with catchy riffs, and dynamic vocals, though I wonder how much better the vocals would have sounded with harmony vocals.
Track 2. Horseflesh Barbeque- Some bad ass riff's begin this apparent siege of hunger. The vocals sound much better this time around, there's an echo within the track though subtle, I really like it. I do wish the melodic lead guitar would cut through the mix more though. An expansive yet well controlled explosion of grooving metal, sways back and forth with absolute welcoming aggression, of course with a flavor from Texas it would seem. There's a raw thumping sensation here that get's you moving. A very cool catchy sense of fuck you to the track, loving it. Angry, delicious, and in search of trouble. They have their own weird yet awesome fucked up sound, you can sure say that. There's a flavor of dirty rock, but also well controlled bouts of stinging metal with a careless hit you in the side of the head attitude, that's always seemingly ready to bring MORE.
Track 3. From Texas To Hell- A very simple yet melodic guitar riff begins this song. It transitions towards a more clean guitar strum until finally the music busts wide open into a full force of crunch. The vocals have a sheer presence of evil they are in charge and there's not a single doubt about it, they are unique. Explicit lyrical subject matter. Vocal clarity is decent. Really liking the lyrics, fun yet insane and crazy. The music seems to flow pretty well with the words. A good tight and heavy crunch to go along with the very dynamic drums. The lines are interesting but they do repeat a bit too much in places. The banjo is an odd addition. The guitar with the wah however I do like. An interesting solo more bluesy than anything, not straight up shredding. I do enjoy how the bass pokes through the mix becoming more present. The music after dragging through the same groove for a while finally runs through a very dark territory becoming quite interesting, but ending before anything else, too bad loved that change at the ending. Wish they would have done that more. It's been an interesting review, some repeating parts here and there, and others that changed up quite well, but overall this band has a very interesting sound with a creative edge that they seem to own quite well. Harmony vocals would have been a nice addition to this album, in places. Some more present bass guitar poking through the mix would be nice, and less of the banjo, not a fan of that. Some riffs in places did catch your attention even if for a moment.
Rating 7/10
