    'Ive been a fan of Whitechapel since the beginning, and it seems like with ever release they get more and more recognition. my grip with the band all this time, they aren't very consistent, it seems like their albums are more a bunch of singles and song you'll never hear again.

Although there's a few less interesting songs, there's still a lot of great songs easily making up for the short comings.… Expand

    Whitechapel is a band that is definitely worth checking out, and with its expansive and devastating sound, this self-titled album makes for a great jumping-off point.
