I have been waiting for this record for quite some time now seeing as both their 7"s made me want to rape and pillage and burn down small villages fueled by adrenaline laced hardcore fury. My personal life aside, this record takes all the elements of Wasted Time you loved and cranks it up to 11 (you know like the amps Spinal Tap used). They play faster, tighter and more brutal than ever but still maintaining that Poison Idea and Boston hardcore vibe with that signature heavy guitar sound. Not only does the new found speed grab my attention but the varying tempos used on this record. One minute its blistering fast, then you got an intense mid tempo rager to beat your wife to. They also employ some other hardcore influences with the closing track "Withdrawal" sounding like an angrier So Cal tune from the 80's. Other songs include "Isolationist", "Burning Bridges To Keep Warm" and the title track "Futility" you get an idea where the lyrics are coming from... an agoraphobic who lives life as a recluse surrounded by way too many cats. No but seriously, this record is pure hardcore mayhem from start to finish. 2009 is only halfway over but this will be the best record of 2009, no contest. If you don't want to take my word for it, download below, listen to it and buy it!5/5
