The only time when repetition is good. I grew up on Norma Jean and was obsessed with them from 7th-9th grade (which their album redeemer came out and i stopped listening to them). So i decided to keep their first album (which had totally different material due to the vocalist {now in The Chariot}). The album is like the mother pearl of crack for mathcore. The album has songs that are about 1 and 1/2 minutes to a song 14 minutes long. The album has beautiful yet simple breakdowns that are repeated for long periods of time (ex: one song they scream "Like bringing a knife to a gun fight" for 3 minutes straight"). I love this album still and I'm extremely upset that it's in such crappy condition; so I'm going to buy another copy. Their roots were okay as Luti-Kriss and their 2nd Norma Jean album was okay... but I'll always stick with Bless the Martyr. Overall Rating: 7/10 (due to the fact the album is scratched beyond recognition)
Excellent but leaves you hanging dry. The EP is delectable and you could listen to it as if it was a full length; but then it gets ruined because it's a 3 song 14 minute long CD. The most prominent song was track 2 blasting in angrily with death/doom vocals and fighting between operatic vocals. I got this as a bonus disk to Sombre Romantic, which i thought was coming as just the CD, but I got more bang for my buck. This is only good to listen to to prepare yourself to hear Sombre Romantic; so be sure your have both in handy. Overall rating: 7.6/10
