REVIEW: Overlooked - Nothing Is Sacred

All you dickless mofos step outta the way, here comes Ian Geiger and company stampeding their way through watermelons and glass with a HARDcore release that's sure to crush even the hardest core. This is their latest 7 inch entitled "Nothing Is Sacred", and now I will tell you about it...

First song starts off all hard n shit with Ian screaming at me very angrily, which I normally wouldn't appreciate in a social setting but since it's him in a band I dont mind it. First impressions are that this is a pretty good recording and an overall good mix. Also the vocals are a bit of an improvement from the last Overlooked shit and are soundin' good here. I like this because it's not gay overdone melodic shit, it's not heavy wannabe nyhc shit played by kids with perfectly sculpted calvin klein bodies...it's pretty much straight up fast moshy hardcore ala early 2000's or somethin I'd say. 2nd tune is called "Degree" and if they're trying to get an endorsement from the deodorant company this is definitely a good step to take. This tune has a good DEGREE of guest vocals which as many of my dedicated readers may know, I'm not too into. So FUCK THESE GUYS FOR USING GUEST VOCALS...nah just kidding, love you Ian whats up dude!? Also this tune has some "borrowed" Smiths lyrics which I can get down with. Song #3 is called "Lie Awake" and it's another showing of Overlookeds fast blazin tune-age. This songs got a cool moshy part which would probably make GET WRECKED HATE CREW (see: myrtle beach krewz section) proud, but who knows. Next song SEVERED is the last song. It's yet another fast blazin tune, and let it be known that on this 7" the Overlooked psychos don't stray too far from the formula of fast pissed style tunes...and why would they? I mean Ian is from Myrtle Beach for fucks sake, if you're from there you're either gonna be way into henna tribal tattoos or you're gonna be super pissed off. Also just so everyone knows Ian always likes to reitorate that Overlooked is toootally a Wilmington, NC band. He has ZERO hometown pride, shits crazy. Even nerds from Florida think their state is the best thing ever...but MB always lets it slide. It's kinda sad really, I'm sure it all has something to do with the loss of their beloved pavilion or something. Anyway this is a review right? This record is pretty good, if you like the hardcore of today you probably would pretend that you like this but you dont really. If you are feelin the hardcore of the early 2000's era then you can probably find something you're into with this record for sure. I say go pick it up and give it a spin or 2 (3, 4, 5), or download it, but just "don't lick those sticky fingers just yet, these boys aint done cookin". Anthony wanted me to put that. Peer pressure. Seacrest out.
