Title: Scything hardcore beauty
Review: The raw emotional energy that emanates from this album is incredible. Every song is a outpouring of Palumbo's heart and soul in his lyrics and singing. The musicianship on this album is stunning as well. The pure hardcore punk jams are intense and complex especially on the opening song "Tip Your Bartender" and the closing song "Convectuoso" along with "Mu Empire" and "Radio Cambodia." "Stuck Pig" is a hard hitting, wailing almost metal song that is surprisingly catchy. The song "Must've Run All Day" is a haunting, but beautiful trip that rings with sincere emotion. The song "Cavalcade" is memorable because of the sportscasting done by Palumbo at the end of the song. Sort of lyrical experimentation. Worship and Tribute is a superb album that is right up there with The Used's amazing debut in my book. Excellent vocals and musicianship with a sound that is completely their own. Hard to beat an album this good.
