The full length debut from Better Lovers who showcase everything that is beautifully chaotic. The combination of so many great bands forming a true supergroup doesn’t lead to egos trying to outshine each other here, but rather a group of slightly sinister musicians knowing how to bring destruction in the best way. The riffs and guitar work are instantly infectious. Greg’s vocals are as powerful as ever while still sounding fresh. Shades of hardcore, mathcore, metalcore, punk, it’s all infused together and present regardless of the pace. A song like “Everything Was Put Here For Me” gets increasingly aggressive while “Love As An Act Of Rebellion” has a strong groove throughout. Both styles work perfectly. It would be highly irresponsible not to check out Better Lovers. I will not apologize for that line because it was put here for me. 8/10.
