On the early albums, yeah, something like that.

A few of their later albums were more general rock/pop hybrids.

No Doubt is ****ing brutal. Depressive suicidal technical atmospheric blackened industrial death-thrash grindcore masters.

I've never been a huge fan of Gwen Stefani's voice but if I'm honest she made them stand out in the 90's alt/pop rock circuit. Not to mention I'm fairly certain the rest of the band are decent musicians themselves. Might pick up the album again sometime in the future.

I see you're a fan of their debut album. Not many people know of that one. *hipster high-five*

It's a band I came back to more recently, somehow. I used to listen to them as a teen, then grew out of it. Return of Saturn is my fave album of theirs, but generally regarded as their worst album. Oh well.

And I could see getting annoyed with Stefani's voice. Back when Don't Speak was super overplayed on the radio, even I had enough of her.

Of course, I keep an ear to only the most complex and bizarre music I can find:

In Doubt.

Knuckle dragging thrash brutality perfected. It's too bad most Exodus albums have so much filler but at least we got one mostly solid record besides Bonded By Blood.

Overkill is a band that annoys me when it comes to their filler ratio. Ever since Bloodletting (a circa 2000 album), they've been super inconsistent. But I could assemble a pretty great 12 track album out of the albums they've made from Bloodletting until now.

I don't think it's physically possible for a song to end more apocalyptically badass than this one does. It's not often I'd use the term "violent" to describe a doom metal song but there it is.

The climax reminds me vaguely of this:



They even have similar cover lmao
