Strong 4 - The most unique album of early 90s metalcore, early 90s era of metalcore is not really my type of thing,bc. in my opinion most of early 90s metalcore bands lacks personality or they at least fit in between huge amount of 90s hardcore punk. But Rorschach is not one of those bands, and this album is the best showcase of that, Screamo high pitched vocals soaring over dark and sinister guitar playing, and all of that is driven by insanely profficient drummer. Rorschach were in my opinion huge influence for more experimental metalcore of late 90s (Converge, Dillinger escape plan, Botch) all of those bands found their own experimental style, in this small genre, but Rorschach were still the First ones. And I think Charles Maggio gets too often overshadowed by Jacob bannon. The only complaint I have is: Maggio is burried in the mix, somebody might love it, I would like him more in the fore front, but still he is killing it. Highlights: Mandible, In Ruins, Drawn and quartered, Recurring nightmare and Ornaments
