"Live like a legend and die like an asshole." This Album needs no other explanation.

Incredibly diverse but never once relenting, A Wilhelm Scream deliver an aggressive, insanely-technical assault with 'Career Suicide,' an album that is anything but its name. Masterfully combining elements of punk and metal along with a slew of tempo changes and a bolstered rhythm section (courtesy of new bassist Brian Robinson and mainstay drummer Nick Angelini), tracks such as "Jaws 3, People 0," "5 to 9," and closer "We Built This City..." not only accentuate AWS's intensity and fortitude, they highlight some of the band's best instrumentation. Vocally, the band maintains a sing-along (or shout-along) quality; lyrically, Nuno Pereira is as acerbic and incendiary as ever. Some people have written that this is their weakest album to date, but career suicide? Not a chance. Without reservation, give this record a spin - do check out "5 to 9," "Die While We're Young," "Jaws 3, People 0," and "We Built This City..." to get you started.

Fresh off of Ruiner, A Wilhelm Scream got angry. For what reason, nobody may know, but I doubt questioning the methods that lead to this opus is a smart thing to do anyway. Career Suicide is faster, harder, and more pissed-of than any of the band's previous work, while still retaining that catchy tang punk loves so much. Every instrument crisply echoes through the speakers/phones/whatever, between guitar lines that could melt your eyes to the punchy bass lines and drum smashing. Coupled with the snarky messages the band deliver so well in every song, I wouldn't be surprised if the band intended for this album to spontaneously combust within a CD player. At any rate, one thing is undoubtedly certain: the title holds more irony than a Hemingway novella.

Clunky pop-punk, but make it thrash. Wilhelm Scream get the benefit of being one of the early fusions of those genres and also one of the successful ones at that. Genuinely fun album, even if they run quite thin on song-writing chops by the end.

The pacing is perfect, the songs are infinitely listenable and their writing has gotten insanely tight. There are no duds on this album, no low points, and after it's over you'll want to start it from the beginning again. This is a rare album in that each song is individually fun to listen to without further context, but it reveals itself as a masterpiece when listened to as a whole. Can AWS top themselves after an epic "career suicide"? Doubtful, but I'm looking forward to seeing them try.
