A grind album must be loud. A grind album must be short. Yep, this is grind. But there's a lot more here. These blasts of technically proficient punk/metal crossover are married to lyrics that are truly outstanding. A grind album must tell a story, too, and "Misery Index" is a tale of hopelessness and alienation not soon forgotten. Easily one of the top three grind albums ever and highly recommended.
