 Almost too much to handle
When I read the bad reviews below this one, I don't really understand where they are coming from. Of course two albums are not going to sound the same, that's how bands fade away. If anything, NJ has completely stepped up and made this a musical downpore of what the harcore scene is supposed to be like. I can't get enough of this album.

 Instant Classic
Quite simply one of the most important albums to ever come out of the young 'metalcore' genre. Fusing atonal production with ingenious riffs that would make Suffocation plug their ears, the band almost completely disavows any semblance of melodic structure in this album. The result is a pure raw dissonant assault that frees itself from established language allowing the listener to experience and interperate the sound on all levels of his consciousness. The riffs bait and switch around the norms in a free flowing song structure that cascades down into temporary pools of understandability before releasing itself into another avalanche; the music only building up seldomly for the express purpose of relinquishing an even more devastating aural cacophony. At a few times the structure sounds vaguely reminiscent in philosophical theory of classic blackmetallists like Burzum or Darkthrone, most notably on track 7. The repetitious guitar laboriously yet powerfully bemoans its own existence as the frantic vocals frenetically spew forth from a desperate vocalist. Although this introspective respite is but one safe haven of near-doom in an album whose unfiltered raw passion can only be described in terms of watching a slow motion nuclear detonation above a WW2 Japanese city. Like the culmination of all that never began nor ended in the preceding 45 minutes, the final riff impersonally crunches on into infinity overtaking the final last screams of human voice. This album purposefully chooses to elevate itself to become a true a classic for all metal musicians to enjoy at the expense of the genre’s traditional base, the musically uneducated teenybopper hardcore kiddies.
