RIGHT HAND:
A refreshing record, in that, I thought we were totally passed this sound. I did not expect at all that this was still happening. I was excited to see such an old horse still busy at work. Double Dagger is really good emo. It was like seeing a freak show – who is still working on emo?? Double Dagger is. They’ve got good feeling and a big furious sound and you’ll think back fondly on your hardcore dance-floor days, singing your heart out and fighting up for a mic. It’s that kind of emo. So, you get the picture. If you want to relieve your first pit experiences this is the place to do it. Me, I checked out a long time ago. Great album but I’d never listen to it again.
LEFT HAND:
I appreciate that this is a fuzzy recording unlike many current fuzzy recordings. This album seems to be able to demonstrate the noisiness of each instrument instead of fuzzing out a master track (which is what most everyone else’s stuff sounds like this year whether they actually do that or not). This is not my style but I do think that this isn’t a bad album. The words are a little embarrassing at times, but the voice is so low into the mix, you can ignore the content enough to rock out.
