Genre Of Each Morty Album?

Scrolls - old school death metal
Post Momentary Affliction - death metal
Blood World - groove/thrash/hardcore
Primitive Rhythm Machine - thrash/groove/death hybrid
all the rest - unlistenable

The bad hardcore-influenced shouting vocals started with Blood World, but it and PRM were musically interesting enough to make me overlook it.  I've tried every album after PRM, and I just can't do it.  It's like what metal would sound like if somebody was doing a Saturday Night Live comedy sketch making fun of metal.

Considering that "Envision Evangeline" is their best effort, that's pretty hilarious observation that belongs on an SNL skit!

When I say hardcore, I mean early to mid 80s hardcore/crust punk.  Like Discharge, Amebix, etc.  That, and Max Cavalera, are what I think Steve is trying to go for with his vocals from Blood World on, with very limited success.  He doesn't have a good shouting voice, so it just sounds silly to me.

Except when those criticizing them are Roger Martinez fans…

Hey, I resemble that remark!  There's just no accounting for taste in metal vocals....
