FM add some melancholic Hüsker/Moving Targets-style mid-80's hardcore to the usual screamo sound, great catchy and melodic stuff. JFFB are much noisier and much more chaotic; a lot tougher but not necessarily better (it's a matter of taste I guess). Good LP. [7]

FM reichern den üblichen Screamo-Sound mit einem guten Schuß melancholischem Mitt-80er-Sound à la Hüsker Dü/Moving Targets an, kommt dadurch deutlich melodischer und eingängiger. Fein. JFFB dagegen sind derber, krachiger, chaotischer - nicht unbedingt besser, aber in jedem Fall härter. Gute Platte, FM gefallen mir besser.

Tracks: Flashbulb Memory - not some phony symphony / all them crazies / no particular reason / live like this / raise your hand / fist through the looking glass // Joshua Fit For Battle - soldiers of psychological warfare / dreams / sleepwalkers guide / slowly eating you from the inside out (kind of like cancer) / ode to jack kevorkian
