Bleed for Me"Composition" Bleed For Me will make your ears bleed! They play some raging hardcore, the way it was meant to be played-superfast, superfurious, super-aggressive, superhard. Singer Jason screams his little heart out, torturing his tonsils with a vengeance, and the rest of the band play as if possessed, never missing a note! This is some of the best hardcore I've heard in years. These guys pull no punched, they just let loose and belt out the tunes like musical machine gun, in the classic hardcore vein. If there ever was a band to put the hard back in hardcore, Bleed For Me are up for the job! Although they do some songs that are in a slightly different vein, such as "My Thoughts Light Fires In Your Cities" and "Bully", which are both spacey, trippy instrumentals; and the last song, "Boxcutter", over twelve minutes long, which in itself, is unusual for this type of music, and this song seems to be divided into two parts-first there's the actual SONG, which is slow and sludgy, but no less hard or aggressive than the album's other songs. As it progresses, it gets more distorted and noisy, finally fading into the second half of the song, which is really a bunch of weird sound effects, and lengthy at that. This seems to be becoming some kind of fashion, for bands to include a track that is a bunch of weird sound effects on their albums, which are longer than the actual songs. Do the fans really get into that? I thought music fans listen to albums for just that-music, not sound effects. I really don't understand why so many bands are doing this. It mostly just puts a dampener on an otherwise good album, as far as I'm concerned. |
