The weakest ETID record, mainly because of the focus on "southern" and not enough "metal". Still a few standout tracks (dancefloor filler We'rewolf, Cities and Years with it's insanely heavy, Pantera-esque outro), but alot of fluff, filler and poor retreads of past glories.

Subtle intelligence has always been a strong suit for Every Time I Die, as groovy riffs and mosh-worthy breakdowns collide with drunken shouting and scathing lyrics. Whereas Gutter Phenomenon is very subtle in a thematic sense, Hot Damn! is intelligent from a songwriting standpoint more than any other. The Big Dirty is a pretty seamless marriage of these two albums, not only in sound, but in theme and aesthetic as well. The songwriting is definitely less homogenous than last time around, but the strong thematic elements remain as well. One thing that does differ from all of their previous efforts is the presence of a standout track: "INRIhab", which has a more distressed and hopeful sound than anything they've done before. The production is excellent, and the instrumentation is charismatic and fun as always. Keith Buckley shines again both as a lyricist and a vocalist, and in all The Big Dirty is a rousing success for one of the funnest and most subtle bands in metalcore.

Every Time I Die doing what they do, albeit not quite as well as on some of their other albums.

EVERY TIME I DIE
The Big Dirty
Album Review by Alexandra McLoughlin
I have always been a great fan of Every Time I Die, however since the release of their latest album called The Big Dirty I started to appreciate even more the enthusiastic metal punk rockers from Buffalo, New York.
A huge metallic explosion is how I can describe the sounds coming from the guitars played by Guitarists Andy Williams and Jordan Buckley, not mentioning the anger of the vocalist Keith Buckley and yet easy to listen and understand the meaning of the lyrics as for the drummer Mike Novak who knows how to put the soft touch clearly breakthrough like the sun rising after the big storm.
According to Every Time I Die’s Wikipedia when mentioning about the album the band said
“Unless you’re a sorority girl, you’re probably not accustomed to dudes telling you that something called “the big dirty” is about to invade your personal space”.
Does this really happen? Ohh hell yes! Listening from the beginning to the end of the CD did not only make me jump, scream, run but to be honest at half of the time I didn’t know what I was really doing. That’s what I call Total invasion!
My favorite song from the album has to be “Pigs Is Pigs”? I mean…Who the hell have a song named like that! “Pigs Is Pigs”?
As for the lyrics with such addictive rimes like this one:
“Oh lord I am famed, Just said I am fit to swing, bout time I have prayed, My woman just might wear my ring” “Hang em High, keep your vows brief, let em swing, make em swing till it hurts and if you still believe, that man guilty of love cant survive. Then Hang em high or not at all”
After listening to the album I found it hard not to keep this song out of my mind and kept on hamming to it.

Great metal, but I was kind of bored after about four tracks. Good in small doses.

To me, the sound on this album is much better than Gutter Phenomenon (which should be a 3 or a 3.5 at most). The style (metalcore blended with southern rock) that they are continuing with this album but introduced on Gutter is more cohesive and, well, better. The album as a whole is much tighter than Gutter, though as a result, I can't pick out individual songs that are great, whereas with Gutter that is possible. Not as good as Hot Damn, but better than Gutter, which to me constitutes a higher rating.
