Today Is The Day stands as one of the most unique, prickly, hard to catagorize bands in all of metal/rock/music/ect. Their output is extremely diverse, exploring many corners of sonic hell, from grindcore to avant-gard goth metal, to noise rock, all of it tied together by a deeply psychotic vibe. Their latest album, plants them firmly in Rock territory, yes, with a capital fucking R. Unfortunately, as good as many of the songs are, they are marred by a lazy subdued whisper, between Steve Austin's trademark shrill screech, that is as annoying as hell. Ruined the entire album for me. If you are partial to softly creepy whispers, go right ahead. You are entitled to your love of lazy, gimmicky vocal work. I will not suffer through it again. There are many good riffs to be found here, but not good enough for me suffer through the softness.
Rating:5 out of 10
