This album, however, isn't just "enhanced" by the headphone experience. ![]() Albums like that make up my favorites of all time. Personally, I prefer when a record sounds good on a speaker, but is greatly enhanced by the headphone experience. I don't think it's bad for an album to be that way, if they're trying to achieve a certain sound, sometimes that sound doesn't translate well outside of the studio. You need either headphones, or a good speaker system. So reluctantly, I restarted the album, and yeah, this record is meant to be heard in surround sound. But the audio quality improved so much that I felt it would be a disservice to the music to do anything less than start from the beginning, despite how badly I really really didn't want to do that. This record sounded so terrible through the speaker, that when I put my headphones in, I was just praying for it to be over soon. I usually listen to an album every morning, and I start listening to it with my Bluetooth speaker in the shower, and finish with earbuds as I get ready for the day and walk to my first class. But to me, it mostly just sounded like noise. Granted, this is certainly not noise metal, it's just weird metal. ![]() I've never heard noise rock before, but if this record is any indication of what that sounds like, I don't think I'm going to enjoy it. For me, this is an example of an album that tries too hard to be experimental, to the point that it's more of a detriment than a benefit.ĬUT TO THE NEXT CAPS LOCK HEADING IF YOU DON'T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT THE FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS I FACED WHILE TRYING TO LISTEN TO THIS ALBUM ![]() And all the power to it for trying to do that. This album tries so hard to break from the tropes of its genre. It's not like there were songs that I enjoyed and songs that I hated nay nay, every song had PARTS that I liked and PARTS that I hated. But they were always followed up with moments that I just found to be awful. It certainly has merit, and there were moments I truly enjoyed. I already went on a huge rant about this to my girlfriend, and I wish I'd written it down, because I don't think I can word it any better now.įirst things first, I did not enjoy this record. In 2020, members of the band conducted an interview where they went more in-depth about the history of the band.Oh boy, how to review this album. They were able to get in touch with the alleged band members, and in 2020, a “remastered” edition of D>E>A>T>H>M>E>T>A>L was officially released (this time, in full quality), along with ‘demo tracks’ from the Kicking Cars EP. The project gained a somewhat cult following among netizens following the 4Chan thread, and fans searched for proof of the project’s existence. However, since Oxfam do not track specific media titles in their inventory there would be no record of it.Ī second EP, Kicking Cars, was also allegedly released in 2001. It was claimed on Reddit that the thrift store in question was contacted and they denied ever having the project. ![]() A copy of the project was uploaded, although the audio quality was very “damaged” due to alleged disc rot. The first known mention of the band online dates back to a 2016 4Chan thread where an anonymous user claimed to have purchased their alleged debut album, D>E>A>T>H>M>E>T>A>L (dated to the year 2000), from Oxfam, a British thrift store.
