On “Lucky Me” Killing The Dream once again expand their horizons, making them even more of an easily recognizable band in the hardcore scene. While this album’s predecessor was focused on expressing a whole lot of anger, this time around there’s more. They are still very much a hardcore band so expect a lot of aggression, loud guitars and thundering drums. Yet the string section that pops up out of left field in opener “Blame The Architects” hints towards something else as well.
They go at it in a more subtle way this time around, giving a song the time to breathe before erupting in a messy explosion of noise and anguished howls. At 20 minutes “Lucky Me” is kinda short but fuck me, what a powerful album! If you’re into the likes of Defeater and Trap Them, you’re gonna love this.
Score: 8 out of 10
