Bury Your Dead - Cover Your Tracks

Bury Your Dead is a hardcore band from Worcester, Massachusetts, United States, formed in 2001. I found out about this band on YouTube a while ago (refer to my last post). And i listened through their newest album release "It's Nothing Personal". I liked the album as a whole but it had it's weaknesses. The beginning is brutal and all that. But somehow it feels weird. And i pin pointed the weirdness to the singer Myke Terry. Which i later found out joined BYD in 2007. His voice feels more fit for "Metal" in my book. Am i right? Anyway, curious as i always am on finding out about great music it got a hold on a album they released in 2004 "Cover Your Tracks" which features the original singer of the band Mat Bruso. And no more than 10seconds into the first track you will hear how much more fitting and hardcore his vocals is, I Shit You Not! Track 1 and 2 plows your mind like a brutal Hardcore Machine straight out of Hades. Track 4 "Eyes Wide Shut" plays around with sweet tempo changes in a great experimental kind of way. When Track 5 enters your ears i hope you are prepared for some great hardcore music, because the track "Magnolia" is just plain Great. Everything feels so spot-on perfect! Great guitars, Perfect tempo changes, superb drive with the drums and crisp, powerful vocals. This track lifts the whole album,and the placing of it as track Nr 5 feels very thought-through. I like it best when the tracks that feel strongest is in the middle of an album. It helps keeping the focus and interest up. Good job producer! (couldn't find out who produced it). Lyrically, the track "The Color Of Money" feels very strong in a Hardcore-lyrical kind of way. The whole feeling of this album is a Passion for Hardcore music. I would sure love to see these guys live soon. To sad Mat Bruso left the band though. He was a big part in making this album as great as it is.
And yes, all track names are based on Tom Cruise movies...
