Going off of Emmures last album Goodbye To The Gallows, I was quite hesitant for this one. I thought to myself can a group really come together for a third consecutive album? So I took a good listen to and took everything in, did it have brutal breakdowns? YEP! Did it have semi-decent melodic melodies? Yep! Gnarly grunt and growls? Yep! Not only did they have all of the key ingredients, but they placed them together all so well.

The CD starts out like all typical metal CD with quick breakdown leading into one hell of a brutal song. There’s just something that gets to me everytime when I hear some awesome drop A tuning where it practiacally sounds like the strings are getting ready to fall off the guitar. I keep trying to find something that I can say bad about this CD, but I can’t. I have not found any flaw to it.

If you are really needing something to get you pumped up for working out or just wanting to go beat someones face in? The Respect Issue is for you; Full of breakdown, fast paced guitar riffs, and gnarly vocals. If you’re not into that kind of thing then why in the fuck are you listening to metal? Seriously.

Sounds like: The Acacia Strain (I wouldn’t tell them that).
