I'll be kicking this thread off with A Flower Kollapsed's album "Orsago". A Flower Kollapsed is (according to their last.fm page) an "emo violence" band from Italy. Their name, song titles and genre are all stupid, but their music itsself is stupid fun. It's all over the place: random outbursts of screaming, dissonant guitars, and some delicious three-chord skull-crushing riffs beneath some dude screaming about flowers or girls or orange juice with Predator. In between these minute-and-a-half outbursts are some odd ambient? tracks that go nowhere and ultimately serve as filler. They fortunately don't last long, and the real deep sh*t gets brought back soon enough.

A Flower Kollapsed ultimately don't bring much new to the table with this album, but "Orsago" is a pretty fun, loud, dissonant, and hard rocking screamo album while it lasts. You're not going to want to give it many repeat listens, but it can't hurt to give these Red Bull-chugging emo kids from Italy a little bit of your time.

I give it 3 stars of David out of 5
