The Color Of Violence - Youthanize flac album

Youthanize is the first full-length album by grindcore band The Color of Violence. It was released under Epitaph Records on April 7, 2009. The album was made purely for fun as guitarist and vocalist stated, "It may not be groundbreaking, and it may not sell any copies, but we tried to be ourselves and experiment, and we're all really happy with the way it turned out, so fuck i.

Somewhere within the album's clustered and directionless 28 minute duration, you begin to get the sense that The Color of Violence's writing process is, well, basically nonexistent. The band's claim that the bulk of the album was improvised in the studio only lends more credence to that notion. If that claim is indeed true, then it makes the album's meandering, random, and vastly incoherent sound a little more understandable, and if it isn't, it really just proves that nobody involved in the project can write a decent song. All in all, Youthanize is a vastly disappointing release from a group that had the potential to at the very least be amusing. The very few enjoyable moments found within the album are all but ruined by the intentionally harsh production, and the rest of the album's irritating incoherency is only made worse by it.
