If you are entertained by full-out metal that will keep you guessing and make you rock your arse off at the same time, look no further. Haste is one of those bands that defines the terms creative and substancial. With the combination of highly professional lyrics, powerful singing and screaming, and patternless brutal music, these guys show their talent as extreme as possible in every album they come out with. I have heard their first cd "Pursuit In the Face of Consequence," as well as this one. Out of the two, this one is my personal favorite. Every song on this album is so great you won't want to skip any of them. My favorite song on here is "Confessions of a Lesser Known Saint." It has a hooky chorus with excellent singing, as well as very long scream in the middle of the song given out by the high-pitched vocalist (I forget his name) during one of the most awesome guitar riffs I have ever heard. Every band member in Haste does a great job with whatever it is that they do. The duel vocalists complement each other very well indeed, low-pitched and high-pitched screams galore. The guitarists and bassist churn out some really great heavy riffs. The drummer is simply amazing, I would be delighted to play my drums like that. In short, Haste is a band that no one should ignore, whether you love them or hate them (and if you hate them then you just have poor taste in music, that's all). They have the complexity that bands such as Tool has, and that's definitely not a bad thing in itself, considering Tool is the greatest band in existence. If you have great taste in music like I do, this band will definitely not disappoint you in the slightest degree.
