Lamp's Review:
All of this material is a discography of only the first three years of this band's existence.  Amazing how bands can release so much material in such short time, isn't it?  Especially with such a notable progression in that time.  The earlier stuff (which is at the end of the CD instead of the beginning, now that doesn't make much sense, does it?) sounds more like novelty.

Most of the songs are really short and have some out of place kind of riff like the beginning of the Star Spangled Banner or part of Jingle Bells.  An amusing joke, but for the most part just a joke.  Avi's voice was much different too, instead of the high screech he emits these days, this was more of just a regular hardcore style scream.  The band kept going at it and got progressively faster, tighter, and even heavier with each recording.  What does that lead to with the more modern stuff?  It's much more serious and intense.  Most of the songs seem to be about killing in some way (and some of the titles are probably longer than the songs themselves) but trying to line up the vocals with the lyrics is practically impossible.

While Avi's voice nowadays makes for a better listening experience to compliment the music, the lyrics are pretty much in print only and not worth the effort to try and keep up with in the songs.  The guitars are more downtuned, the drumming is also quicker and tighter throughout.  The songs at the end of the discography (or the beginning of the CD) are my favorites and the band is only improving.  Their live shows don't disappoint either.

For ballpark references, think of Insult and Fuck On The Beach to create a kind of grind/powerviolence hybrid.
