If Pitchfork reviewed PARKWAY DRIVE Ire: When you think of metalcore, the last thing that comes to mind is subtlety. And Australian band PARKWAY DRIVE certainly don't disappoint in that department with their latest album "Ire". From the moment you hit play, you're hit with a sonic assault of pounding drums, blistering guitars, and guttural screams that will leave you feeling like you've just been through a mosh pit without ever leaving your living room. But don't let the aggression fool you - there's more to "Ire" than just headbanging anthems. The band experiments with a range of styles, from the melodic hooks of "Vice Grip" to the atmospheric sprawl of "Writings on the Wall". And frontman Winston McCall's vocals are as versatile as ever, ranging from raw screams to surprisingly melodic harmonies. However, for all its strengths, "Ire" does suffer from a lack of cohesion at times. The band's willingness to experiment can sometimes feel disjointed, with tracks like "Crushed" feeling like they belong on a different album altogether. Overall, PARKWAY DRIVE's "Ire" is a solid addition to their discography, showcasing a band unafraid to push the boundaries of their genre. So grab your leather jacket, tighten your combat boots, and get ready to headbang your way through this thrilling rollercoaster of an album. Oh, and maybe invest in some earplugs while you're at it.
