A Wilhelm Scream : Career Suicide
This is one of my favorite albums by far. One of those few and far between bands who are still willing to be dangerous in a world of self-indulgent rock star cliché crap!! Punk rock these days is looking more like MTV and HotTopic got in a head on car wreck and was glue back together with snot from the noses of its whiny lil inhabitants. There are a few bands left out there that harken back to the days when punk rock was fueled by anger, angst, anarchy, sex, drugs, and all the good shit that made it daring and bold !! A Wilhelm Scream is one of those bands. Awesome songs like “I Wipe My Ass With Showbiz” are a stiff middle finger pointed at the luke warm media whores of todays scene. This band exhibits amazing technical prowess and the ability to stray far from formulaic and predictable writing while still maintaining a great sound and flow about their songs. From the opening riff to the last symbol crash ,this album is a balls to the wall ,all out assault. The drummer is amazing ,the guitarists are super creative and the bass player can tap some rhythms that would make Eddie Van Halen crap his drawers. The singer writes great songs and wretches his guttural rants in dissonant harmonies that really carry you away. If you like bands like Strung Out, The Refused, NOFX, Pennywise, and Guttermouth…youll love this album.
