Misguided Aggression have released their second album titled "Flood The Common Ground." This album is quite the heavy older people style metal. They are pretty good for what they are doing though. This band has a similar sound to that of Threat Signal or even a Goatwhore, so if you like those bands, you could like this album. The band hasn't done that bad of a job on this album. When looking at the recording quality for this album, the album has been recorded fairly well, but could use a little bit of work. The instrumentation on this album is very typical for this style of metal, they can play alright, but nothing really to the progressive standard. Now onto the vocals and lyrics, the vocalist of this band is pretty good, but you can notice he is stressing a bit.He doesn't quite have the power in the screams and they have an old feel to them. He can scream though. With the lyrics, this band has a bit of an angry way of going about them. The band goes more for a how metal they can make the lyrics as opposed to the meaningful message behind them. Not bad but could use a little work to be more meaningful. If you are looking for a single to this album, there isn't one, so just pick a song and give it a listen to get the idea of this album. Misguided Aggression have made an album that just has the feel of not fitting into the popular scene and being more for the old metal fans in the run down bar in smaller towns. Hopefully with some tweaking they can get a fresher metal sound. Not bad though. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of it. They have since called it quits (R.I.P.)
