Antonio sent me Dysrhythmia's album Pretest. Now I had heard a little bit by this band before so I had a general idea of their sound and was looking forward to hearing a full album by them. I suppose you could classify this with other technical post-hardcore/metal bands such as By the End of Tonight or Tera Melos. The instrumentation is all very tight and syncs together well. The album is filled with melodies, changing time signatures and even some dissonance. I normally can't stand this type of bass tone but it contrasts the guitar in a way that sits nicely in the mix. Sometimes I feel like the best parts of some of the tracks end too quickly and some lesser parts just drag on. While I enjoyed this album I feel like the songs tend to become a bit formulatic or the band has just become too comfortable with their sound. Favorite song: Heat Sinks
