Long Island, NY has always had a soft spot for
heavy metal and
hardcore, but what about bands that specialize in complex freakout assaults, à la
the Dillinger Escape Plan? Not many had surfaced, until
Car Bomb came merrily rolling along. The quartet's 2007 release,
Centralia, comes off like one big sonic landmine -- few bits to hum along to, but plenty of stop/start rhythms and vocal vomiting to go around. While the tracks often begin differently, it's only a matter of time until it all collapses into the same tar pit trap of
math noise. Take your pick of any of the album's 11 tracks -- after a while, it all bloody sounds the same.

One Of A Kind
Car Bomb is one of the most original and complex bands since meshuggah(and this coming from a guy whos favorite band is meshuggah, but favorite close second is Elton John). These guys do it right. Sure you can say it sounds the same at parts, but what band doesn't, i mean come on. If you can't compare a band to anyway in the music scene and also play their instruments in an origanl, talented way, how can you not say it's fantastic? You like original heavy metal? BUY IT! You like good original music? TRY IT!
