[The Radness Average (or star rating) is derived from assigning each song a number of stars based on a 1-5 scale, then adding the total number of stars, and then dividing that number of total stars by the number of songs on the record. A Radness Average of 4.0 or higher indicates a good or great record. A Radness Average of 2.0 or less indicates pure crap. Everything else is in the middle somewhere.]

Verdict: This record will chart high on the No Funeral Best of 2014 list.  This is my favorite album of the year so far.

For Fans of:  Trap Them, Cursed, Crowbar, Xibalba, what Victory Records used to call "evilcore."
