» The Top 30 Albums of 2010 - Fashionably, fabulously late, our favorite music (and believe me, there was a LOT) of 2010, the year that some have called the best year for music ever. And only some of those fools work here. Plenty of usual suspects, lots of ties and a few surprises that I won't spoil, including our unexpected #1.[12.24.2010 by The LAS Staff]

split
Forge Again Records
?

October 1, 2004
This split was released in conjunction with the joint summer tour of Rescue and Grayson. Detroit's Rescue features ex-members of Mycomplex, known for their appearance on a popular Weezer tribute album, and Grayson have a slew of studio recordings to be released after this split.
Rescue's "101" is our only given example of the band's technical post-emo rock, which definitely sounds hard to play. After the intro, the snakelike lead guitar zigzags over, in, and through the first main riff's rhythm in a way that defines the song without sacrificing any precious melody in its technical striving. Various start-and-stop drum patterns follow before we hit the roaring climax. The vocals are rather uninteresting and serve mainly to secure the melody in the presence of experimental rhythm parts.
Grayson's guitars seem to follow an on/off pattern over the plain, but poppy drumming. The chords serve to ground the vocals on "These are Spirit Fingers", while all we really notice is the impact of the guitars. Grayson has undergone changes in the technical direction since this recording, so perhaps the upcoming work will be worth hearing.
