    Last Quicksand?

    Awesome album, though I liked "Slip" more.

Pro Reviews: Manic Compression

  • All Music Guide

    Quicksand's heavy metal is distinguished not by their hooks but by their precision -- they grind their riffs into the ground, never alleviating their intensity. Manic Compression isn't as murky as their major-label debut and it contains tighter, better-constructed songs, all of which makes their deliberate lack of melody excusable. 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.
