I could see if suddenly these guys came out with bullet belts, shaggy hair, Amebix backpatches on studded jackets, dreads and septum piercings out of the blue, drinking shitty beer and riding beat up ten-speeds all over Oakland. The reality is Nails has a raw sound with dirty production and an almost defiant lack of attention span for artwork. Not sure what the problem is.

I can't wait. Past the production of the record. This is all subjective. Bottom line, Im into it. I just about moshed my cubicle to Disorder.

I am the furthest thing from a "fan boy". I loved the damn record. One of very few releases that didn't take me 20 listens to "get into". I don't really hear the Deathreat/Talk is Poison sound....I hear an amped up siege or something like that, with some modern chug for good measure.

To me they sound more like Talk is Poison or bands of that nature, just with maybe a little more of a thick "crust" kinda thing happening. Though really I didn't make that connection until others here mentioned the term. Or maybe it's like Talk is Poison meets Battletorn!? The whole "scene celebrity" thing is just a complete non-issue for me, and I don't think it applies regardless. I'm also completely and totally 100,000% in the dark on your E.Town Concrete comment earlier. Does not compute, ha. I do disagree with you, though, ha, ha.

The people who will lap this up... do I have to spell it out for you painstakingly slow in a Barney the dinosaur voice. At least Andrew was diplomatic, but you're either IN this band or you're close friends with them. and once again Andrew I am sorry, I swear I don't do this on purpose "& I can tell you for a fact no one in this band gives a fuck what is popular with any fanboys or what's popular with 18 year olds. They don't give a fuck" So why are they trying so hard to achieve sunlight studios sound? when they could just play normally, come on, they saw the interest in trap them and thought hey we should have a a go at this, would be fun. You seem awfully het up, PS New mammoth grinder RULES. "And what do you mean packaged for Deathwish/B9 fanboys?"

Makes me love a band almost instantly. I, for one, <i>love</i> the production. Sounds dated in the best possible way and fits the style perfectly. Gives the jams that obscure, DIY, don't-give-a-fuck feeling. I'm sure they could've pulled off a big-money sound if they'd wanted to, but as it stands, it sounds just like it should, whether that was intentional or not. Huge production and this style just don't mix, wouldn't sound as "legit". It's like keeping your enduro bike squeaky clear or something. Oooh, "controversy". Makes me love a band almost instantly.
