The whole faux grind thing has been wearing thing for quite awhile, but to some degree the idea was understandable, taking the lightning fast pace of grindcore and mixing it with the fan friendly ideals of the emo / metalcore scene seemed like a cool way to expose fans of each genre to one another. Bands like Bodies in the Gears of Apparatus and Tower of Rome put out some rather first rate material (see the former's killer side of their split with Despised Icon) but there was absolutely no need to take things this far. 'Everything's Watched, Everyone's Watching' grates on every single nerve, illustrating a swirling shitstorm of cliched, and poorly executed, spoken word / scream vocals (doesn't matter the pitch), boring metalcore breakdowns, trying-to-be-but-not-quite-ironic-and-just-stupid song titles, and horrid Daughters-esque freakouts. Imagine if the proprietors of Some Girls were beaten retarded and forced to play Every Time I Die covers, then you may begin to understand the album's sound. To their defense, Heavy Heavy , Low Low does have some killer merch, it's just too bad that the only thing one receives from this listening experience is the knowledge to never, ever place this rancid piece of plastic anywhere near a stereo. Listen, if your trying to get your more progressive metalcore fix stick with the new Norma Jean record, if you want some grind pick up 'Dead Point' by Needful Things, if you want a spazzy mixture of the two break out that amazing new Ground Unicorn Horn 7", but whatever you do, stay far,

far away from this modern music disaster.
