If you're not familiar with Misery Index, this album is a perfect way to get introduced. First impressions are everything they say, and if this is your first impression of Misery Index, it is someone showing up to your party, punching you in the face, drinking all your beer, stealing your boy/girlfriend, and shaving "GRIND-FUCKING-CORE" into the right side of your dog. The band keeps it interesting, basically apply the concept of what Converge is doing to hardcore to grindcore. As in the guitarist decided power chords were not enough anymore. This is more succesful than I would think it to be and does not take away from the "grind-iness?". Something I found odd was that just listening straight though it sounds like a stereotypical grindcore album with 10 bajillion (give or take) minute long cluster fucks and then when I looked at the tracks I realized what I thought was 3 songs was just one. Anywho Saucy's picks: "The Carrion Call", "Heirs to Thievery", "The Iluminaught", "The Seventh Cavalry", the epicly starting "You Lose", and the fuck-you-in-the-ass-with-a-baseball-bat-sideways "Day of the Dead." For fans of Pig Destroyer, Soilent Green, and Infanticide. Warning: if you have never listened to grindcore, not a good album to start with.
