Album Review
A Textbook Tragedy – “Intimidator”
For me at least, A Textbook Tragedy’s 2008 album Intimidator is nothing to rave about. A few songs were good and I would certainly recommend the release to anyone who’s really into hardcore, screaming, or menacing metal. When I first heard the music I could feel the artists’ rage; it was palpable. Moreover, I can attest that the band are assertive and tried to put a ton of energy into their music.

Overall, however, I think A Textbook Tragedy could have made this album a bit more polished. It doesn’t seem like a truly cohesive collection of songs and feels like there was a lack of attention paid to the song ordering. The album as a whole grated on my nerves and again, I feel it could have been a more polished work. Not my cup of tea, but no one can deny the group’s immense passion for their music. Have a listen and see what you think.
