Quicksand – Manic Compression Vinyl LP Record

Quicksand – Manic Compression Vinyl LP Record

Quicksand's heavy metal is distinguished not by the band's hooks but by its precision -- they grind their riffs into the ground, never alleviating their intensity. Manic Compression isn't as murky as Quicksand's major-label debut, and it contains tighter, better-constructed songs, all of which excuse the band's deliberate lack of melody. Then again, the point isn't melody -- Quicksand is about sheer sound in all of its distorted glory. If you like that sound, the album delivers the goods.
