Oct 10, 2024Chat Pile leaves it all on the table. Everything they screamed about in God’s Country has been brought to all of humankind. Cool World is darker, bleaker, grimier, and more violent. The lyrics make the musicianship haunting, and the musicianship makes the lyrics tormented.
-
Oct 11, 2024Cool World is instrumentally gripping, vocally enthralling, and lyrically calls out the horrors of late-stage capitalism.
-
Nov 21, 2024An even more clearly defined rendering of the group's sound.
-
Oct 10, 2024Bleak as all hell, then, yet somehow this uncompromising music seems so in tune with the times that Chat Pile could genuinely be on the cusp of a major breakthrough. Don’t miss out.
-
Oct 28, 2024There is no catharsis, just an unflinching account of the violence we inflict on each other on an individual and global scale. It makes for the most uneasy but essential listening.
-
Oct 18, 2024The results are two fistfuls of noise-rock at least as potent lyrically as anything on God’s Country and arguably harder musically, for a few reasons.
-
Oct 10, 2024The music is loud but measured, and the guitars on tracks like “Frownland” have the dirty, rumbling tonality of a lawnmower. By and large, though, Cool World is fierce, direct, and free of the kayfabe that plagues many metal acts.
