Sex Positions - Sex Positions
Reviewed by ryan
A meltdown of hardcore bursts of chaos, weird anthem-inducing choruses, and punk ethos, Sex Positions spend 27 minutes in the form of eleven tracks shouting aloud and screaming freely. Yet their self-titled debut album says nothing new whatsoever. Give Up the Ghost, Breather Resist, and Some Girls are all notable cohorts of implosive hardcore noise, yet Sex Positions feels as if they are just going through the motions of what it takes to be a punk/hardcore band instead of truly meaning it. “Worse Than the Plague” features sputtering electronics to keep the interest, and “We’ve Already Went Over This” slows the mood a bit in an attempt to transcend Sex Positions’ one dimensional nature. But ultimately, this is a musically immature and stereotypical release only recommended for the most loyal Deathwish fans. [www.deathwishinc.com]
