Blind To What Is Right, the third album by the Massachusetts-based hardcore band Carrier, showcases the band's unique blend of heavy riffs, dissonant melodies, and socially conscious lyrics. The album, released in 2014, features ten tracks that delve into themes of oppression, injustice, and the struggle for personal and collective liberation.
From the opening track "No. 51," which sets the tone with its chugging guitars and urgent vocals, to the closing track "Epilogue," which ends on a haunting note with its atmospheric soundscapes and spoken-word passages, Blind To What Is Right is a powerful and thought-provoking album.
The standout tracks include "Hollow Pain," which features guest vocals from the legendary punk singer Keith Morris, and "Forgive Yourself," which explores the theme of self-forgiveness and redemption. The album's production, which was handled by Converge guitarist Kurt Ballou, is top-notch, with each instrument and vocal track coming through clearly and powerfully.
