Review by: Britton Di*ks
I usually only try and review physical copies of albums because I like to talk about not just music, but the albums lyrics, artwork, layout, etc. as well, but I heard a snippet of the Japanese band Confronts new album Guilty Or Not Guilty and liked it so much I decided to review the Bandcamp version of the album. This album is from beginning to end mostly a fast, furi*us attack of hardcore punk aggression! To me it resembles early to mid-80s U.S. style punk when all of the bands were trying to be faster than the next band. That said, it has a sense of melody I love and even some great guitar solos and leads. Its like a mix of Minor Threat and the hardcore D.R.I. albums, but with a better production. When the music slows it sounds a bit like a faster and heavier Husker Du and it even gets a bit thrashy at times! The vocalist has a very true old school hardcore delivery, but he actually sings here and there as well. Its all very anthemic and makes me want to get up and slam dance through a wall or two. I fuck*ng love it! Like I stated earlier, I am reviewing the Bandcamp version of the album, so I cant comment on what the lyrics are about, but a gander at the song titles should clue you in as to what they are about. The cover art shows a blindfolded girl kneeling in a room that has vines or some evil sh*t winding their way into the room. This was a breath of fresh air for me. I have always loved punk and hardcore almost as much as I love heavy metal. If you like your punk fast as hell and easy to sing along with, youd do well to add Guilty Or Not Guilty? to your collection.
