Great album, I unfortunately haven't listened to much of their other material so I can't really compare it. What I do know is that this is good. Duel vocals, lots of energy. Members went on to form Able Baker Fox with Nathan Ellis of The Casket Lottery.

Defeater - Travels

Artist: Defeater
Album: Travels
Label: Topshelf, Bridge Nine
Year: 2008
Genre: Hardcore

This is a very smart hardcore band. Lyrics are exceptional compared to the standard hardcore fare and delivered with a very palpable sense of urgency and frustration. The lyrical narrative details the trials and tribulations of a man in the early 20th century, along with accompanying themes of inadequacy, desperation, isolation, and paranoia. The first track "Blessed Burden" has got to be one of my favorite hardcore tracks ever. Good stuff.

Tracklist:
1. Blessed Burden - 3:03
2. Everything Went Quiet - 2:41
3. Nameless Streets - 3:05
4. Forgiver Forgetter - 2:32
5. The City By Dawn - 2:28
6. Prophet In Plain Clothes - 4:06
7. Carrying Weight - 2:24
8. Moon Shine - 2:10
9. The Blues - 0:57
10. Debts - 2:25
11. Cowardice - 6:19

Not much needs to be said of Envy. One of the best bands still making music today, in my opinion. This is probably their best album. I would do anything for them to tour the U.S. sometime soon because apparently their live show is a must-see for anyone even remotely interested in them. Anyone who is unsure about them is usually converted once they witness them in a live setting.

Tracklist:
1. Chain Wandering Deeply – 8:28
2. Distress of Ignorance – 5:54
3. Evidence – 3:16
4. Color of Fetters – 7:19
5. Unrepairable Gentleness – 8:10
6. Go Mad and Mark – 6:35
7. A Conviction that Speeds – 5:27
8. Reasons and Oblivion – 5:05
9. A Will Remains in the Ashes – 12:44

City of Caterpillar - Self Titled

Artist: City of Caterpillar
Album: Self-Titled
Label: Level Plane
Year: 2002
Genre: Screamo / Post Rock
Bit Rate: 128kps (sorry!)

This is pretty crucial screamo.
"With a residue of dissonance, intermingling melody and vibe, the City of Caterpillar waits in your house, in a room you never knew existed. Running through this album is an element you cannot quite touch; you listen to the music as it seeps over the edges of the room and burrows into your head, rewiring, growing more each time. This three-piece ensemble shows that a sum can be greater than its parts. The band's moody, sometimes spastic, sometimes brooding breed of dark rock is both well-written and timeless spacy expressionism and straight-to-the-heart honesty. The City of Caterpillar's songs typically span periods of six-plus minutes, taking time to relay and warp themselves, changing moods within a context while never falling into a rut. Albums of this breed only come along a few times in a genre."

Tracklist:
1. And You're Wondering How a Top Floor Could Replace Heaven - 8:32
2. Heart Filled Reaction to Dissatisfaction - 2:35
3. Minute, Hour, Day, Week, Month, Year (The Faiths in My Chest) - 9:17
4. Fucking Hero - 3:51
5. When Was the Last Time We Painted Over the Blood on the Walls - 4:37
6. A Little Change Could Go a Long Ways - 9:38
7. Maybe They'll Gnaw Right Through - 5:36
