Not really a label compilation since the majority of the 22 tracks are not by Traktor7 artists. I’ll assume it reflects the tastes and personalities of the folks behind the label. The most eclectic compilation I’ve ever heard.
Monstrously sluggish tempos, the thud-heavy, stuttering beats and ponderous basslines keeping more or less the same speed and emotional heft on every track as the guitars drone compellingly and the vocalist intones the words in a spoken monotone.
Seven edgy but catchy little numbers, the frenzied but slightly off-center energy of the band’s attack bringing to mind both Fugazi and Di’Anno-era Iron Maiden.
Punk rock’n’power boogie-rooted rock and fucking roll, keeping the tempos in the mid-quick range, the guitars set on “stun,” and the drums set on “stomp.”
The band’s love of arena metal (think Van Halen), and all things fried and greasy (think ZZ Top and the Iron Skillet) is a lot more apparent this time around.
