Having all the subtlety of George W.Bush dictating foreign policy, Flattbush barrels through their half hour debut like a pack of raging rhinos.Bungle and System of a Down (although Flattbush's intensity makes System of a Down sound like Pat Boone doing mathcore).Flattbush comes close to careening out of control on nearly every song, particularly with their insistence on switching tempos every few seconds.As it stands, their style should appeal to hardcore fans who think Dillinger Escape Plan is for wussies and can't sit still for a thirty second television commercial.Batas Militar (salvaged Style)
