Misguided Aggression have released their second EP titled "Our Saviours Daydream." This album is one that really brings out a heavy, thrashy sound to their music. These songs seem a bit grimy and really a dirty metal feel to them. The album has a similar sound to bands like Lamb of God, or a Machine Head. Lamb of God, especially in the vocal sound. So if you like those bands, you could really like this album. These guys have done an alright job here. 

With the recording quality of this album, the album has been recorded to a pretty average, or even just a bit below level. You have a decent instrumental recording, but the vocals seem like they could have been turned up more so that they hit you, and are easier to hear. Now this is a a pretty early recording for the band, so it is understandable. The recording also helps out a bit in the sound they want to establish. Looking at the instrumentation on this album, you can see that the band can certainly play, and their are hints of pretty decent guitar work, as well as bass a ll though the album. These guys can have a bunch of talent, and you be happy with it, it's certainly a high point here.

Now onto the vocals and lyrics. The vocals on this album are done really guttural and at times with a death growl. He has done a pretty good job here on the vocals, but they are a bit too low and not upfront enough to really give you a full experience. We feel that he has done a pretty solid  job at his type of vocals, and we can't wait to see him perfect it, with a better recording. Really good job though. With the lyrics, the band goes for songs that are pretty typical in metal. They have songs of war, death, destruction of self, and more. Theses are themes you hear quite a bit in metal, but it doesn't mean they aren't good songs or lyrics. We feel there is a bit more work to be done, but it's also so hard to hear the lyrics, that sometimes the brutality of the vocals is enough that the listener doesn't really need to understand what they are saying. Not a band job all in all.

If you are looking for a single to this album, there really isn't one, so just pick a song and give it a listen to get the idea of the album. We didn't find one song in particular that jumped out as us.

Misguided Aggression have made an EP that expands on their sound, and gives them more songs to go out and tour with/fill a set. Their use of sound bites in their songs, enhance the overall experience the listener gets when listening to this album. We didn't think this album was too bad for what it is, and we can't wait to hear what else the band has. Listen to this album for yourself to decide what you think of it. They have since called it quits (R.I.P.)
