Norma Jean puts together a beautifully hardcore and raw sound that remains melodic nonetheless. This album sounds like if Dillinger Escape Plan were to get together with acts such as December, Skycamefalling, and Converge, and put together one blisteringly loud album. The opening track on this album, "The Entire World Is Counting on Me, And They Don't Even Know It" is a perfect way to kick off such a CD. Blisteringly raw guitars, harsh hardcore vocals, a great song all-around, then leads into the even more loud tracks "Face: Face", and "Memphis Will Soon Be Laid To Waste". All of this gets you prepared for Track 5- "Pretty Soon, I Don't Know What, But Something Is Going To Happen"; A 15-minute hardcore epic. At this point, if the album hasn't already grabbed you and makes you want to stay along for the ride, then something is wrong with you.
