    With "You Had Me At Hello," New England's now deceased Bury Your Dead speeds and pounds with an energy rivaled only by the likes of Throwdown and No Innocent Victim. The band displays more energy than a school bus full of raging children with their pounding breakdowns and force. The drumming on "So Blues" is unrelenting in its sheer ferocity while the guitars shred and rip the rest of the piece apart with their crushing grooves.

    "33 RPM" opens with an almost irregular drumbeat before everything falls out and the remainder of the band proceeds to lay the stereo to waste. The grooves on this record are thick and dirty with the bass teetering on the fence of high end clang and low end Richter scales. "Ten Minute Romance" takes off without blinking an eye as the band pounds out measure after measure of merciless hard core. Eulogy Records signed another winner.
