Jeezus holy shit-kickers.  This is where its at.  Right here.  I love Hatebreed for their simplicity but the thing is they don't have that extra ooommmph.  Built Upon Frustration has that ooommmph.  Right there.  This shit is heavy as fuck.  There is not one spec of originality on this album.  Now let me state that I do not give two shits about that.  Along with The Acacia Strain, Black My Heart and such Built Upon Frustration beat you with some heavy heavy ass hardcore that makes Hatebreed sound like showtunes.  This is where its at.  The low end rumble on this thing can hold up to The Acacia Strain quite well.  Why can't more bands do this type of stuff?  I mean come on.

 So basically you have some heavy chug chug riffs.  Bass that just completely crumbles buildings.  Everything is basically straightforward down to the usually lead singer doing his usual bark.  But holy christ the amps are turned up to 11 and set to KILL!!!!  This is how it should be down.  This is how it should always be done.  You want toughguy hardcore?  Look no further.  Special recipe:  2 Large subwoofers in a car.  Hi-fidelity cd player.  Amplifer.  Pop this in and turn it up.  UP UP UP!!  This needs to be loud.  This is what pisses off g-dawgs.  Sick stuff I need more of it.
