Entropy – Deinventing The Wheel

Deinventing The Wheel is the latest release from irreverent New York hardcore punk outfit Entropy, they have generously included their 2015 So It Goes EP along with eleven brand new tracks. This album follows on from their previous full length album, All Work, No Plagiarism, that was released back in 2014. Deinventing The Wheel follows on in exactly the same vein as their debut album, and this very much a case of if something isn’t broken, then there’s no need to try and fix it.

Entropy bring a blistering old school blast of hardcore punk on Deinventing The Wheel, they have delivered seventeen tracks in around seventeen minutes on this album. Nearly every track is done and dusted in a minute or less, with the noble exceptions of, So It Goes, almost a minute and a half, and Game Over Man, Game Over which clocks in at an epic two and a half minutes. This is a relentless pummelling short lived beast of an album, but what marks it out from the pack is that this is a band, that whilst being as intense as anyone else that ever made an album of short sharp aural assaults, doesn’t take itself too seriously.

Hardcore albums can tend to be hit or miss for me, but I’m glad to report that Deinventing The Wheel is one that definitely hits the spot. The album has been perfectly mixed and this is old school hardcore that is just as it oughta be, loud, fast and aggressive. If you have any love for the hardcore scene then you should visit Say-10 Records and look at getting a copy of Deinventing The Wheel. The album can be ordered for free on download, but why not throw them some of your hard earned pennies and meet the suggested price of a measly five dollars, or even buy the cd, you won’t regret it.
