Seemingly the first release from the upstate NY queercore quintet that have been at it for over 15 years. Facades brings two very, very different genres to a head with the first half of the album presenting intense queercore before it transcends into an acid/industrial house music ending. The unifying theme to both halves of the album is the lyrics which seem to boil down to standing up for the LGBT community, their rights and a need to be strong. Sorrondeguy is not timid with his opinions about these topics, at one point screaming "Fem fearing cock-suckers (lame homosexual alphas who dislike women) get away, Cuz Iain?t got the time." His lyrics are more than worth the time and dealing with these subjects atop extremely strong and memorable hardcore music makes his approach even more powerful. More to that end, the hardcore first half of the album is full of great riffs and vocal hooks; it makes you want to get out and shout along; the energy is addicting. The house side of the album is much less memorable and somewhat boring but honestly Limp Wrist deserves a shoutout just for bringing their two musical approaches together on one record.
