Hardcore Daughters lovers will probably have plenty of bones to pick with this album. For everyone else, Daughters is a feast to be savored.

Now far removed from their grindcore past, Daughters are all the better for it on their third album.

Daughters ended their career (until further notice) with a self-titled record that was partially disheartening, as their songwriting only marginally improved because it was countered by a sonic dissonance that never allowed for any significant dynamics. But that’s what Daughters wanted; an album recorded as max volume to be played at max volume.

The drums and bass on their new, self-titled album create a punishing bedrock for the songs to set in, there's a semblance of melody in some parts, and when the band's trademark guitar stings pierce through Alexis Marshall's Danzig-esque howl, they're well paced and plotted.

As insane and off the wall as their previous albums, but with a much groovier, fun, accessible and demented attitude that works wonders for the bands sound. The production has is exquisite here, perfectly capturing Daughters chaotic sound, and by god is it chaotic. It's almost idiotic how good, catchy and accessible this album sounds despite how crazy and off the wall this album gets, with each track delivers something new and interesting, all while still maintaining the almost scary riffs and ... read more
Even thought I didn’t find much appeal in some of the tracks here, the genius of Daughters here is the complete work, that links the tracks perfectly. With “City Song” being one of the best openers I’ve heard in ages, the rest of it does not disappoint, and the band succeeds to create on of the most terrifying records I’ve ever heard.
