I am so glad we have bands like Pro-Pain that will deliver the same stuff album after album. You don't ever hear someone say that the new Pro-Pain album sucks or anything, because doing so would not only endanger your life, but you would be saying that you just don't like them... period.
So what can I say here really? The album opens up fast and furious with a two minute track called “The Shape of Things to Come,” which runs into “Gone Fishin,” which is even shorter and faster. Things slow down with the next track, “Down for the Cause,” which has a nice riff for the second verse and wait, keyboards for the chorus? I swear, they did it, but it sounds cool.
The first insane breakdown comes in half way through the fourth track “No Way Out,” and once this happens, the album just rips. This is actually a pretty fast album, the title track is fast, the next song is mid-tempo, the next one is fast, and so on. Track 11, “Justice Must Be Done” has a tremendously fat riff in it as well. This album is 12 tracks with most of them coming in at two and a half minutes each. The album is fast, very heavy, and it's over quick. Nothing new or exciting or groundbreaking, just like the one before it, and undoubtedly, like the one that will follow it. This is Pro-Pain, just what you wanted.
