Very Good Condition Audio CD by The Y Equals. Traversing the boundaries of post-hardcore comes unsigned act The Y Equals. On the band’s second full-length, the Texan boys bust out 10 tracks recorded live in a studio. The band’s vocal style encompasses singing and screaming, with dense, melodic guitars that roughly place them somewhere in between the last two Hopesfall releases.Early on, the record’s balance of vocals favor screaming, but later this is reversed to closer resemble bands like Beloved. This effort was recorded in a single day, and the garage-style recording may not flatter everyone. “For Madmen Only!!!” and “Unreliable Narrator” have screaming with a static-like effect that’s just overkill. For whatever reason, that screaming tone isn’t consistent for long; “If the Titanic Could Sink” sees improved screaming via removing the earache of an effect.“A Radio Song…” is the definite black sheep of the album. Then again, it’s so bad that it could be a parody, especially considering its title. The song contains three minutes of flat whining and depressed acoustic guitar that goes nowhere.“Sittin’ and Lookin'” provides a much-needed three-point turn from that misstep. Not only is the guitar more catchy, its less sloppy than previous cuts. The melodic beginning quickly relates itself to A-Types-era Hopesfall with its intertwining chords. Songs like “Worry About Next Time Next Time” and “Best of the One-Liners” continue the latter melodic trend. These songs would especially benefit from cleaner production because the mixing is a touch too dirty.I hear plenty of potential in Consume Regurgitate Resume, but whether it’s convincing enough to gain label support is debatable. The package design doesn’t scream self-released, nor is it professional looking. On this effort, presentation flaws include not having track names on the back, half-assed lyrics in the liners, and a generic cover that neglects to even include the band name.As for what’s inside, the actual music sounds competent considering the band recorded without frills. The Y Equals should avoid future live recordings like this, as too many raw moments cry out for cleaner production. The end result of this self-released affair is fairly solid, but I need to see improvements next time to become a fan. View more great items
