not bad, the screams are a little hard to make out even with the lyrics but they sound nice

That's grindcore for ya. If you can tell what someone's saying without a lyric sheet, they're probably not doing it right.

true true, grindcore is ok, i'm more of a hardcore/deathcore guy

Eh, I can only really stomach old hardcore, back when it was "Smash in the teeth of the cocksucker standing next to you," and not so much "Everybody drink Pabst Blue Ribbon and groove with yer bros."

Also, I can't stand breakdowns, let alone entire songs of them. Unless they're really original... or violent. I'll take this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFyU6NFrfFM over this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9w4HfN3NUc any day of the week. The former makes me feel like throwing things through walls. The latter makes me wonder whether they originally wanted to sound exactly like At the Gates or Meshuggah.

i've recently started listening to hardcore, about a year. I'm still more of a straight heavy metal and progressive metal fan more then anything else. As for breakdowns, I do enjoy them but some bands do overdue it. As much as i like Of Mice and Men, they overuse bass drops waaaay to much.

Just about every modern (metal/death/slam)-core band overuses breakdowns, unfortunately. It destroys any song dynamics. One of my former bands used breakdowns, and used them effectively: they had direction (i.e. they were not one chord), they gave the song direction as well (as opposed to being the song), and they were catchy as fuck without losing the inherent violence of the music.

Suffocation (my favorite death metal band ever) had plenty of breakdowns, and I can't think of a bad one (any metalhead who doesn't like the entire intro section of "Infecting the Crypts" should be shot), but again, they made sense in the context of the song. A band like Devourment comes along and makes entire songs out of Suffocation and Dying Fetus breakdowns, and the songs just lose all their feeling.

This.

This is me at work smashing a customer's face in. In my mind.

I love the rhythm

That was awesome. I loved the muted guitar throbs.
