Query: They take the "hard" out of "hardcore".

When I initially heard this record, I immediately noticed something was missing from the music.. but I couldn't quite put my finger on what was wrong. After a few listens, I came to the conclusion that the production ruins the record. Their guitar sound isn't heavy, but they don't have a Minor Threat-esque abrasive buzzsaw sound either. The end result is really flat and unaffecting. This would have been better with a different producer.
