I came across this cd while looking for the Solid State Sampler in a Family Bookstore. When I looked to see which bands were on it I was surprised to see that a band named Anguish Unsaid was listed. I had heard great things about them from going through some lesser known Christian hardcore bands' homepages. So, for $2.99, I had to pick it up. Although I can't speak as highly of the four other bands on this disc, who predominantly played punk type stuff, Anguish Unsaid laid down three chaotic hardcore songs. If any of you don't listen to Training for Utopia because of their refusal to call themselves a Christian band, you need to check out Anguish Unsaid. They sound very similar. In fact, had you played this cd for me before I knew what it was and told me that the Anguish Unsaid tracks were Training for Utopia, I would have not only believed you but been happy with TFU's progression. This cd was more than well worth the money to me because I always love getting my grubby hands on all the Christian hardcore I can. My three dollars spent on Anguish Unsaid was three dollars well spent.
