Sheer Terror

Love Songs for the Unloved (Blackout!/MCA)
by Chaz Thorndike

Don’t even think about applying the sellout-on-a-major objection. These guys are just as ugly hardcore as ever. Prong’s Tommy Victor produced this beast to sound like a Neanderthal’s mud fight. Clods of sound are lobbed and fast-balled at you. This album is mean, dirty, and fun.
