It's like Slint, Bear Vs. Shark and Self Defense Family had some sort of weird, distorted and messy baby.
The term 'sludgy' is being thrown around a lot by people I've seen talking about this album and although I haven't the faintest clue what being sludgy musically entails, it seems an appropriate adjective to use.
Sounds like it was recorded in a basement with ear piercing guitars, some low fi fuzz, shouted male and female vocals and a general grotty dirty demeanor. The album cover portrays the sound better than my words will.

The Stabbed in Back record is without a doubt the best skate punk record to come out since the genre's last popularity surge in the mid 2000's. Really solid, and the band have a great sound you don't hear often in punk. Also, drumming along with this record is an impossibility, as is most skate punk. This one in particular goes to extremes, however.
