Surprisingly, for a band with a name that begs the listener not to take them seriously, this isn't half-bad. I was expecting something standard--Choo-choo chugging east coast hardcore, stale sweat-sock old school punk rock, cliche metalcore.
I got something a little different. "Subject To Change..." is primarily an instrumental album. The band does indeed play a form of traditional hardcore though. Taken together those might seem like a recipe for total disaster. Endless repetition of a few chords and tired breakdowns, or at the best some kind of studio engendered "darkness" and mildly creative riffs. Try somewhere in the middle. These guys actually pulled off an album of pretty straight-up hardcore without vocals on most of the tracks, that didn't completely bore me. It might not bear much repeat listening but hey, if your fantasy has always been to have some kind of hardcore karaoke album, then pinch yourself and let me be the first to let you know you're not dreaming.
