Superfast metal packed with proggy start-stops and tempo swerves - Cave In's first album walks the tightrope: it switches it up too
often to be boring, but locks into a groove just often enough to give
you a foothold, teasing you with the possibility of headbodding until it
twists your head off, suckerpunching from every angle, every riff a setup for its opposite, tight into slurred into fast into half-time into double-time into dropped-beat dancebreakers - - and then pretty little indie-adjacent interludes
then haunted empty halls
bonus: enough flayed screaming keeping it out of Dream Theater territory 3.5/5
