[ NOTES ]
This has felt like a long wait for fans, but the No Bragging Rights
label debut is finally here. Illuminator is everything this bands
followers could have expected and wished for. Melodic hardcore anthems?
Check. Soaring vocal choruses and tremendous screaming verses? Check.
Brutal breakdowns that get your blood pumping? Check. Overall, solid
album flow? Check. On paper, this formula should be enough to entice new
listeners to check this band out, but lets take this review a bit
further, shall we? While the opener, Beautiful And Spineless, is a
great well-rounded track to kick things off with, its the song that
follows that truly gets the energy flowing. 6th & Main immediately
sounds like a frantic escape accompanied by some great vocal work and
suitable lyrics (We burned this place to the ground), making it an
instant favorite. It is then followed by the energetic and exciting
Weeding Out The Weak, a track that will prove very useful in waking
ones self up in the morning. As Illuminator plays through, youre
welcomed by a bevy of genre samplings to keep things from becoming
stale. This includes the obvious hardcore melds and punk boosts, but No
Bragging Rights do branch out a bit more than that (check out the
instrumental interlude, Cease Fire). Sure, this disc probably couldnt
be labeled as unique or extremely varied, but it is certainly
expansive enough that you wont catch yourself thinking Ive been
hearing this same thing over and over. With this being a big problem of
most bands these days, especially in the hardcore scene, its nice to
hear bands like No Bragging Rights keeping it fresh and fun. If given
the chance, Illuminator will likely make new fans easily. It definitely
has the capability of becoming a winner.
