My interest in Coalesce began with their first two albums, both of which contained the chaotic sound of their intense music and screamed vocals. Though this 3-song EP 002 is quite decent, this was before they fully matured to the full-on mathcore machinery of those albums. After that era, which came with changes in lineup and style, they've decided to re-record those songs along with another two-song EP for a small compilation, 002: A Safe Place. I'm sure it's for more than just money...

The vocals in the original EP sounds as furious as they usual do, but back then it sounds high and strained as opposed to, as well as the songs sounding too tight. "Simulcast" is the only incredible song here, with some changes into an occasional sludgy sound that would hint at the band's incoming technical experimentation and emotion.

002 is slightly good, but is it worth the price you pay? They would later improve....

Favorites (only one highlight): "Simulcast"
