The Business End “DEMO” More “NOW” than they’d like to admit. The Business End does wrong what the RIPTIDES do right. Hints of Nu-Metal, System of a Down bullshit, you know—the real deal. The stuff that makes teenage boys feel invincible, thus being able to beat up their girlfriend and then cry about it to a $300/hr shrink that mommy & daddy fitted the bill for. Folks, this was just the first song. Your faithful Captain has suffered the course of the entire record, so you don’t have to. There are, however a few moments of subjugated entertainment on the record. The “promo” disc did not come with track titles or any real information. So even though there are good moments on this terrible record I couldn’t tell you where. So this seems futile, right? Well, people should be warned about misogynistic music—it seemed the singer has a GOD/Martyr complex and I think they all really hate women. But this could also be “art” to some. To quote the singer “I’d rather die than face what’s real” with that I close. Ahoy! Ryan Rude
