Review by KosieKat for Corrections House - Last City Zero (2013)
When I saw no one on this site had rated, much less reviewed, this album, I said , shoot, thats the next one I've got to listen to , it could be a hidden jem! And I was sonically rewarded for this experiment. Do you want to listen to something HEAVY? This is HEAVY. You will feel its WEIGHT thrown at you as you listen to it. I was thankful that this album was heavy on the industrial side of Industrial metal and on the "light dusting of machine sound used" The vocal loopings, the screeching sounds, the beating of drums the mechanical poundings all coming together across the heavy tracks in a variety of ways as each track was distinct enough from each other that they felt different and did not get boring as some lesser industrial offerings can. This Album took me on a journey as I listened and I felt like I was watching a story unfold. After uplift of sorts it brings on Run Through the Night, The absolute brutal hit you will take in Dirt Poor and Mentally Ill is delicious. 10/10. The spoken word poetry bits by Williams may not be for everyone. I personally enjoy them as a juxatoposition against heavy tracks in between and the story that this album tells. The final track is the only one that doesn't seem to go with the rest of the ' story of the album as I listened to it' in my opininon, and at nearly 10 minutes long, it was lost on it me a bit, butoverall I hope that others will see this and give this album a listen too, it deserves more ears.
