Their songs tend to be on the long side ù between four and │ │ ten minutes apiece ù and in addition to that, they are clearly meant │ │ to flow together as part of a start-to-finish listening experience. │ │ (The conceptual feel of this EP is also highlighted by the lyrics, │ │ which use mosquito/insect references as a metaphor for a failed │ │ relationship.) "Hive Destruction" showcases the band's riff-writing │ │ abilities at their best, and is arguably the highlight here, but the │ │ whole EP is solid and should please anyone familiar with this band. │ ├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ About ALW │ ├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ ALW is an internal group whose original intention was to make people │ │ see how much better the quality of a VBR album really was. Well, we │ │ pretty much succeeded, considering the scene is VBR now. So, we now │ │ have a new focus (since even pH has bitten the bullet, thank god): to │ │ be the best damn internal group there is. Whatever the album is, no │ │ matter what the genre (unless it's gay, we don't like gay), we will │ │ have ripped it. And to all you fags who wouldn't use VBR to save your │ │ life prior to 2004, we just wanted to say that we told you you were a │ │ stupid cocksucking bitch and that you were wrong, and now we want to │ │ rub it in, just because we can. │ │ │ │ Date of formation: 5/1/2003 (or, 10/2001 under TBR) │ │ Group info: #alw / alongwinter.net / [email protected] │ │ Things we need: Sites, rippers, coders, your mom around our cock │ │ │ │ Shout Outs: │ │ (Scene) FNT, RNS, ESC, HXC, NUHS, QTXMP3, VIC, gF, COR │ │ (Not) TBR, ENT, IPS, IRO, RDF (for also releasing VBR) │ │ (Groups Who Suck) EOS (stop copying us), pH, KSi, KZT, DTA, iTS │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
