REVIEW: Battles "Mirrored"



Rating: 8.5

Mirrored is stadium sized mathrock pulsing with head-nodding beats and devil's horn riffage tweaked, twisted and (at times) assaulted by dense time structures, glitchy keys and some lengthy nerdy noodling.  Impenetrable vocalizations bring to mind Smurfs in a blender - colorful and perversely satisfying without making any sense at all.  Battles are the high school jocks who quietly aced Calculus.  Brains and brawn.
