Review

Bütcher are a messy, thrashy Speed Metal band who have cranked out three albums in the past decade that I keep grabbing even though they are never as awesome as I want them to be. To be fair, almost nothing could be as awesome as the title and cover art for 666 Goats Carry My Chariot, but I still hold out hope.

This is not really any different than any of this band's other offerings. The playing is sloppy, the songwriting could be charitably called "chaotic," and the production is similarly kind of half-assed, with a mix that seems to wander all over the place. As always, I want the guitars to be louder and the recording to give more room for the drums and maybe even the bass, which is almost inaudible here. This is fun enough, but the compositions are so scattered I can only barely call them songs. A band with a lot of talent and energy but who desperately need someone to rein them in.
