After three stellar releases including n.s.Drugs, 120608 and nasty.DNA, Brooklyn's resident punk/metal mutants, Pollution, have released an LP that promises to be on my top ten list for 2010. ®SMUT is a very mature chaos. Here are eight songs of treble heavy, complex but straight ahead anthems rhapsodizing, so far as I can tell, filth. If you are a fan of the band you won't be disappointed.
Each of these eight songs is characteristic of the Pollution sound. They fluctuate between up-tempo, chord driven punk and spastic poly-rhythms with single-note guitar screeches. Track three, "fee$" (it might be my favorite), is a mid-tempo punk anthem that demands mosh. This song is a driving and only consists of a few chord changes but remains exciting because the guitarist plays with space in very dynamic ways, allowing notes to carry and bend and has double tracked simple, but dark and rich sounding harmonies. ®SMUT is equal parts thrashing punk riffage (see stellar opening track "smut sts") and moody hardcore meditations ("ashes IIII," which is such an awesome song). Another standout for me is "unreported condition" which starts out with a spastic bizarre time-signature and then becomes a evil sounding stomper that will make you want throw horns and bang your head. Careful of whiplash, many metal heads don't have health care.
This is truly an amazing and dynamic record. Not sure which distros will have copies of this for much longer, but you can order it by emailing the band directly, who self-released it.

heeeeeellllllllllll yeeeeeaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Thanks for this. ICDT is always on the pulse.
the drums sound awful
They are a bit off, which is a shame because Elsner is one of the best drummers around. Also, it's entirely his fault for the way he set up the mics on the drums. Blame him!
