专辑介绍

by Eduardo Rivadavia

With all the mucky-muck that passes off as hardcore (pre- or post-, emo, Elmo, or screamo) in the late '00s, Long Island, New York's This is Hell actually achieve some distinction through balance: neither confining themselves inside the genre's unbending, dull-as-cardboard basics; nor losing their cool with gratuitous musical flailing and hysterical vocalizing. Their second album for Trustkill, 2008's Misfortunes doesn't reinvent the wheel by any stretch, but it does improve upon its immediate predecessor on pretty much all fronts: songwriting, execution, righteous fury, and those all-important gang shouts. Whether they're tackling full-throttle mosh-pit instigators like "Reckless" and "Without Closure," indulging in a breakdown or two for "Infected" and "Remnants", or injecting incremental melody into album standouts "Disciples" and "End of an Era" the group generally keeps the listener engaged, in areas where most competitors would have them drooling into pillows, or tearing their hair out in irritation. Ok, so things get progressively less interesting as the album wears on, but Misfortunes still averages out well above This is Hell's hapless competition, quality-wise, which bodes well both for hardcore fans and the group's imminent future.
