This is peak deathcore. I've seen Suicide Silence live multiple times and every track they play from this ends up the highlight of the show.

This album is one of the best post hardcore albums ever made. Although feeling amateur and rough it encapsulates the goal of much of the genre. The raw feelings and emotion thrown into this album eclipse most flaws. Just listen to it.

I really like the sound of this album but it does have a small issue of many songs sounding a bit too similar. Overall I enjoy listening to this especially all the way through as it feels less like a collection of songs and more like a singular journey.
My favorite thing saosin has released and it's iconic for a reason. This stage of the band was so short but revolutionized the sound.
