Day 12: Iron Mind - Iron Mind

Artist:  Iron Mind
Album:  Iron Mind
Source:  http://themusic.com.au/listen/all/2014/01/07/exclusive-stream-iron-mind-iron-mind/

Pre-listening Notes:  All I know is they are apparently an Australian hardcore band.  That's the extent of what I know going in.  That and the Euros get me every time with their date structure.  I thought at first this wasn't coming out until October 1st, but it was really January 10th.  Also, I wonder if they took their name from the Righteous Jams song.

Initial Reaction:   It's got some heaviness to it.  I think I can hear his accent coming through in his yells and it seems kinda funny.  But, it's got fast parts and some heaviness and I don't hate it so far.  It's got a NYHC feel to it.

Random Thoughts:  I could see being super into this about 5 years ago.  Not that I'm not into it right now, but I would have gone nuts over this back then.  I like this more than Backtrack that's for sure, which is becoming a theme for me.  So far each song has me moving along in my seat as I listen to it, which is pretty good.  Honestly, so far after 5 songs, the little tinges of his accent creeping is the only complaint I have. 
 
Final Reaction:   I really don't have many complaints about this, musically they do it well, vocally outside of his accent I really have no complaints.  I don't have too much to say about this outside of the fact that it is a solid release.

Final Grade:  7.5/10
