92. Relationship of Command – At the Drive-In
Relationship of Command is the perfect post-hardcore album, in my opinion. They take every aspect of the genre and simply do it right. I love the melodramatic, howling singing, the intense, wailing guitars, the electronic aspect they infused into their sound… no other band in the genre can approach these guys. I wasn’t big on Sparta, nor am I a big fan of The Mars Volta, but damn this stuff is good. Iggy Pop even appears singing backup on Rolodex Propaganda! I’m not a big fan of producer Ross Robinson (who produced stuff by Korn and Slipknot…) but even he couldn’t slow the raw, driving, angst of At the Drive-In right before their break up. Also, how many hardcore bands actually leave the stage and insult their fans when they start slam dancing too violently? (They played a concert in Australia and left the stage shortly after starting because the moshing was too violent, and later in the day a girl actually suffocated while Limp Bizkit was playing… can’t remember the name of the concert though)
Best Songs: Arcarsenal, Sleepwalk Capsules, Mannequin Republic, Rolodex Propaganda |
Cool review, I too really like this album. My sister was at that concert where At The Drive-In walked off stage. The girl that suffocated in the Limp Bizkit mosh pit died, apparently it was pretty horrific. Lots of bands walked off stage that day, they kept telling the crowds to settle down but nobody was listening and it was just too dangerous.
Anyway, nice Relationship of Command review. I actually like producer Ross Robinson and other stuff he has done.
