Pitbulls in the Nursery - Impact (2001)

This is supposed to be technical/progressive death metal, and while it does have a semi-technical bent to it, I don't think it really qualifies for either the "technical" or "progressive" tags. That said, it isn't bad. It's pretty decent mid-paced death metal, with standard guttural vocals and brutal riffs performed with surgical precision. It doesn't really stand out to me as having a distinctive style, but then again it doesn't really sound like anyone either. They remind me a little of Canada's Augury (without the female vocals). Anyway, this is decent and shows some potential, but I'd like to see the songs a little more involved -- they seem some good riffs but seem to get bogged down repeating boring riffs more than they should. But the playing is solid and the production is excellent, so this is an enjoyable listen even as it is.
