Despite a high energy level momentary bursts of cacthy riffing, US hardcore/metalcore five-piece Agenda Of Swine never seems to come to grips with the song-writing on their debut disc.

Although rearing the head of quality with e.g. a track like Amongst the Forgotten as well as the slow & mean Eradication of the Seeds of Purity, and thus attracting the interest of the listener, the overall impression of the 13 songs of the album is that the band lacks the capability of creating a red thread and get beyond the messiness you often create when you're determined to give it all you've got rather than being eclectic and controlled.
