Agoraphobic Nosebleed-Altered States of America

Agoraphobic Nosebleed Altered States of America: Scott Hull's grindcore masterpiece. Clocking in at twenty-one minutes none of the ninety-nine tracks feel forced, or inessential. Hulls inventive drum machine programming stands out, and while all aspects of this album are exceptional, the drums are truly unique. The speed and ferocity of this album gives way to slower tracks often containing excerpts from disturbing radio broadcasts. Most grindcore albums do not flow nearly as well as this one. Thanks to Hull's capability as a musician and arranger, Altered States of America will surely be remembered as one of the most important releases in its genre. If you're angry, you really can't do better than this album.

Rating: 15/15 600 bpm drum tracks
