Album Notes Freezing cold Buffalo deals out plenty of adversity to its residents, making it a near-perfect place to found an aggressive hardcore outfit. When every day is a fight through snowdrifts, the need to blow off some steam becomes paramount. Every Time I Die blow off enough steam on THE BIG DIRTY to melt an entire winter's worth of their hometown's white. With steel plow riffs at once heavy and nimble, the band recalls metallic standard bearers like Botch and Deadguy (and worked with one of the latter's former producers on THE BIG DIRTY). As brutal as the record is, however, Every Time I Die find room to tweak their sound, letting Southern boogie bleed in, and pairing a dazed vocal delivery with a "swarm of bees" guitar on "Leatherneck." This is hardcore that pumps the fist and the pelvis.
Editorial Reviews 4 stars out of 5 -- The guitar parts are much more complex and angular; the hardcore breakdowns are effectively placed and simply punishing... Alternative Press
Ranked #5 in Kerrang's The Top 20 Albums Of 2007 -- Blessed with an unhinged fury... Kerrang
THE BIG DIRTY is an album built to last, isolated in its own little world outside of trends and moments in time, destined to be revisited for years to come. Kerrang
3 stars out of 5 -- [W]ith razor-sharp guitars....[Their] rhythmic looseness and sense of humor actually threaten to bust them out of their sometimes constrictive genre. Spin
