PAINT IT BLACK

New Lexicon (LP)

Rivalry / Reflections

This is such a good record, by far the best one by this Philadelphia band. In the past their records have sounded pretty much the same from start to finish, New Lexicon on the other hand is way more intresting, there are more melodic parts and nice changes in tempo with songs that are raging fast and a few slower ones, all done in an aggressive way with an edge that brings BLACK FALG to mind.

Self reflecting lyrics that are very well written are always cool. As a person who's first language isn't english I actually had to look up a few of words in this booklet. Anyway it's really great to see the large number of different references in the lyrics and it's obvious that a lot of thought has gone in to them. Pick this up and don't miss these guys when they tour. I haven't seen them yet, but hopefully this coming fall.
