The Gorgeous - Great Lakes

So I just got my hands on my own copy of this album, even though I have been listening to it for years. This album is the definition of Hardcore and Canadian Hardcore at it's best. These guy came up punched everyone in the face and got the fuck out of here, just as fast as they came into the scene. They loved making music but it was becoming routine... I don't know where to even start with these guys, even though this album came out in 2005; if it came out today they would still be a head of the game and turning heads! The best thing I can say about this album is that it was and still is a huge underground success and if you don't know it, and love the hardcore/metalcore scene you need to know this album front to back, it has everything you could ever ask for.

As you listen through and hear the dirtiness and "live" feel of the album try to imagine five drunken dudes playing this but with 73.67% more aggression and love for playing live, and that is what makes a "gorgeous" show. If you did get to see them live you loved every minute of it and if you didn't get the chance you should look some of the stuff up on YouTube (2nd last show)

Don't Enjoy it LOVE IT!!
