Reason No. 4 Why the 90's Were Better Than the 80's



Band: Lethargy
Album: It's Hard to Write with a Little Hand
Year: 1996
Genre:  Technical Death Metal
Country: United States

Tracklisting:

1. Carebone
2. Humor Me
3. Create
4. Spill
5. Erased
6. Medley
7. Spineless
8. Thread
9. Among
10. Humorless

Bordering on old school death metal and mathcore, Lethargy's only studio album is an ever twisting instrumental interplay. Songs are loaded with riffs, sudden changed in tempo, odd timing and the occassional blast beat. Good to note that two of the lads went on to play with Today is the Day and then Mastodon.
