The Review:
“Born To Run
in Place”
is New Jersey New Jersey
In
their most basic form Ides are metallic hardcore with a strong
thrash influence. They have a way of throwing in chaotic parts and dynamic time
changes to keep their songs interesting. “Motormouth” starts
thrashy, gets almost post hardcore in the middle before getting hard ass then
abruptly ending. “NPC” starts with a classic tough guy hardcore feeling before
the song picks up the pace and becomes frantic. The drum sound on this album is
awesome, the best example of this is a short drum break in the end of the
titular track. Have I mentioned how no two songs really sound alike? Even the
minute long speedy bangers stand out from one another. The last track “Sorry,
Nothing” starts with whale call sounding feedback, before a melancholy
indie rock sounding intro with some introspective lyrics. 2 minutes in, the
song becomes completely chaotic. It's enjoyable and nice feeling.
The
vocals are feral. The mind's eye pictures starving animals fighting over scraps
of food. The emphasis isn't on sounding brutal or tying to be melodic though,
there's no posing here. Singer Jill sells every single word on this thing with
emotion. The lyrics are well written, which is refreshing in a time when a lot
of singers are pretty fucking lazy about their words. In conclusion this album
rules and is streaming off of their bandcamp, so check it out.
