While this may not be Rotten Sound's best offering yet (that might have to go to Exit), Cycles proves once again that this band is a mainstay in grindcore. With the cynical, political edge that early grindcore bands like Napalm Death and Terrorizer possessed infused with a sound that sounds just as influenced by Slipknot as it is Nasum, it positively nails that ultra-groovy, Pantera-meets-grindcore sound that so many modern bands strive for. It's just accessible enough for a new grindcore fan to get into, without sacrificing any brutality or intensity. And like all Rotten Sound albums, it's got a hardcore punk attitude when it comes to length. Don't waste any time; get in and out quick. Standing at only 33 minutes long, it isn't a very difficult listen, and the alluring grooves and top-shelf riffs make it all the easier.The production is some of the best for any Rotten Sound album. It's a perfect mix of the raw sound of Exit and Murderworks and the polish of Cursed, with subtle touches here and there to make it sound even better. For example, the guitar mixing in Murderworks is WAY too loud. It pushes the vocals and bass far into the background, and while it definitely is abrasive, I think Rotten Sound works a bit better with clearer production. On the other hand, Cursed was OVERproduced. Way too squeaky clean for my taste. On Cycles, we have a good blend of both. Not quite overproduced, not quite underproduced; just right.The riffs are also some of the catchiest the band has ever put out. As always, they're incredibly groovy, but they all stick out as unique (there's even a solo on the song Blind, which adds even more variety!). While grindcore was never the most headbang-y subgenre, you wouldn't be hard pressed to find yourself headbanging to certain tracks off this record.Rotten Sound is one of my current favorite grindcore bands, mainly because of their consistently perfect discography. Cycles doesn't let that title down. My only gripe is that it doesn't alter their sound much, but at the same time, does it really need to? Rotten Sound has definitely MASTERED their (quite rotten) sound at this point, so it's not that big of a deal.
