The scumbags are back again with their wacky key board grind grab ass fuck around ridiculousness, exactly what you love. An Albatross’s short of hilarity new full length entitled “Blessphemy (of the Peace-Beast Feastgiver and the Bear-Warp Kumite)” is another short lived but fun filled full length from this unbathed group.

Probably the most notable improvement of this band is the production. Anyone who has heard or owns “We Are The Lazer Viking” and “Eat Lightning, Shit Thunder” should be aware of the band’s shitty and or sloppy production and I don’t give a shit about excuses claiming “it’s supposed to sound that way” leave that BS to Black Metal. The notch has been kicked up and you can hear every squeaky scream and keyboard mashing pummeled by the erratic guitar behavior as the hyper child syndrome of this band plows through 18 more tracks of sarcastic clowning around put into danceable forms of “grind” (I use grind very loosely here).

What the album does is basically rehash the past releases in a better way so that you can actually hear what you want to enjoy. Since all of the sound has been brought up to speed, you can really begin to indulge in this goof troop’s method of spastic music. An Albatross are indeed fun; “Blessphemy (of the Peace-Beast Feastgiver and the Bear-Warp Kumite)” is probably the height of that fun. For fans, put on your tightest pair of scene pants and prepare to disgrace yourself once again to the jackass crew that is An Albatross.
