Holy shit. That’s all I have to say is YES, about Say Yes to Flavor. I wasn’t impressed by the name, which lead me to be hesitant in the actual review. But I’m glad I did now. Shockingly this whole album was written and produced by Jonathan Carpenter. I know you’ve seen this all before with Brenden Whithurst from Off with Her Head! But with Say Yes To Flavor (SYF) there’s something a little more. Jonathan is amazing, that’s all you really need to know. Amazing guitar leads, and riffs. It’s technical, thrashy, nasty (good nasty). Same for drumming, unbelievable.
I was going to do my normal track by tack review. But it will take my 3 years to do that, due to the fact that every track on this album is amazing. From track 1 to 15, you’re going to receive a massive load of metal in your face. I take that back track 1 to 14, you’re going to get metal, track 15 is of someone getting shot. There are a few soft spots that I don’t care too much for, but it’s something that doesn’t take away from the actual album. It’s 97% brutal, 3% wussy, that’s a pretty decent ratio.
I’d say go out and buy this album. I’m not too sure if he does touring, but at least buy the album. It will be something awesome to listen to for months to come.
