The songs (essentially the same for both sets on these two discs) don’t exactly sound all that great. In fact, you’d probably conclude that “they sucked live.”
Crispus Attucks was the first person, a Black guy, killed in the Revolutionary War, and a hardcore punk band from DC that sounds like the ’90s never happened.
Singing one note repeatedly while the guitars play the same progression every song is just not “emotional.” It’s the downfall of many crappy emo bands.
Tight fucking playing, thick’n’fuzzy guitars, and, of course, the catchy melodies that only Japanese bands can create (listen to anime soundtracks for proof).
