Time Trials
6.5
Never heard of New Jersey’s The Mongoloids before but “Time Trials” could’ve just as well been written by any other NYHC band. Mostly mid-paced songs with plenty of groove and a vocalist that actually tries to sing rather a la Sheer Terror’s Paul Bearer. Yikes! Just sound pissed off please… scream, yell, whatever but don’t sing! However if you manage to look past the vocals you’ll find a rather entertaining band making “Time Trials” one of those albums you’ll have to listen to before buying to see if it’s your thing or not.

Lacking the talent to actually play in a band, Tom decided he would write about bands instead. Turns out his writing skills are mediocre at best as well.
