User Album Review
The album is a power-packed and versatile record which assertively makes a statement. It opens with “Ultimate Authority” which showcases the approach Prong is best known for, with crunchy guitars, heavy grooves and a significant hardcore punk influence oozing especially from the unique classical punk vocals of Tommy Victor. “Sense of Ease” is an up-tempo track which demonstrates Prong’s rich crossover roots. The song opens with aggressive drumming. The fast and fierce vocals and assertive basslines as opposed to the subtle ones in the previous song render it quite thrashy.
In ‘X-No Absolutes’, Prong has pushed its boundaries and evolved to the fullest by incorporating a plethora of elements from sub-genres such as thrash, hardcore punk, industrial, doom and goth. The good production ensures clarity as well as blending of the instrumentations and keeps up the heaviness in the sound. The album speaks volumes of the ability of the band to explore new musical dimensions while remaining true to their roots. --- Reviewed by metalwani.com
