Valasyrka: if I'm not mistaken, this is the first time I got to see them with an ok sound system. At the natick show, zacks bass got buried. Here, I didn't really know what he was doing until the solo. He played a lot of high-end (for a bass) which puts it in the range of a bass guitar and blends with the other guitar. The crowd all sat down for the solo part. At the beginning there were a lot of talking vocals that I didn’t care for, but all the others ruled. Vocals at the beginning were just ok. More talking than screaming. After a while, they got better.

Sexcrement: they kept asking for sac, but he wasn't around. This was the craziest set of moshing for the longest amount of til that I've ever seen at O’Brien’s. The whole set was a non-stop mosh pit. People fell down, stage-dove, got thrown on stage, At one point there was this roaming push fight. It started when they tried to toss one of the Animals Rampaging. And sort of traveled down the line until Adam had to get off the stage and pull people off each other. Vocals at the beginning sounded blah. Does adam have to warm up his voice? After 2 songs, it got good, it was just at the beginning.

Porphyria: tim’s last show and all. He did an awesome job over the years and it will be weird seeing them without him. At one point, they proved what is the difference between a band that practices a cover (abnormality) and a band that doesn’t.. like their attempt at a backinblack cover.
